Our cosmetic dentistry services are designed to boost your confidence with customized treatments like professional teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, bonding, and more. Whether you’re preparing for a big event or just want a brighter, more even smile, our cosmetic solutions can help you achieve your goals.
Dental Fillings

Dental Fillings

Cavities happen, but they’re easy to fix with modern, tooth-colored dental fillings. At Plaza Dentistry, we use composite resin materials that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, restoring strength and preventing further decay. Whether it’s a small cavity or replacing an old silver filling, we make the process quick, comfortable, and durable.
General Dentistry

General Dentistry

Routine dental care is the foundation of a healthy smile. Our general dentistry services include comprehensive exams, cleanings, X-rays, oral cancer screenings, and more. Dr. Michael and Dr. Diana take the time to explain your oral health status and customize care plans that fit your lifestyle and goals, so you can maintain strong teeth and gums for life.
Invisalign

Invisalign®

Say goodbye to metal braces and hello to comfort and discretion. Invisalign® offers a nearly invisible way to straighten teeth using clear, removable aligners. Ideal for teens and adults, this orthodontic solution makes it easier to maintain oral hygiene and enjoy your favorite foods, without the hassle of brackets and wires.
Dental Implants

Dental Implants

If you’re missing teeth or have severely damaged ones, we offer natural-looking dental implants to restore your smile’s function and beauty. Implants act as a permanent replacement for missing teeth, while crowns reinforce weakened or broken teeth with durable, tooth-colored protection.
Dental Exam & Cleanings

Exam & Cleanings

Preventive care is the foundation of lifelong oral health. At Plaza Dentistry, we recommend scheduling dental exams and professional cleanings twice a year. These appointments help remove plaque and tartar buildup, detect early signs of decay or gum disease, and ensure your smile stays healthy and fresh.

What Patients Are Saying

Every time I go in for a cleaning, I’m always impressed by how gentle and thorough they are. It’s clear that they genuinely care about their patients’ comfort and well-being. The entire team is always welcoming, and I leave feeling so well taken care of

Kiara E.

Outstanding patient care. On two occasions, I have required urgent dental care and Michael Payor was able to see me either the same day or next morning. I live in Murrieta CA and chose to drive down to Rancho Bernardo for his dental services.

Willie V.

Awesome overall experience. He and his staff were thoughtful, compassionate, and went the extra mile to provide great service to me. They really made it a comfortable experience. You’re in great hands with Dr. Mike!

Torrey S.

Excellent. Honestly the best experience I have had with going to a dentist. They are a friendly, professional, and understanding team. I highly recommend them.

Joseph M.

Dr. Payor is great! He’s patient and considerate and listens to the concerns of his patients. I don’t ever feel like I’m being sold to all the time, he and his staff truly have their patients care in mind, not their wallets.

Elliot K.

First time exam and cleaning went great! Doc Payor and the Plaza Dentistry team was friendly, efficient, and professional. The office was clean, nicely furnished, and had an awesome soundtrack (thanks DJ Mercedes). Will definitely be back!
