About

Too often, we see individuals who have to put off quality dental treatment due to cost alone. Our goal is to provide care to those who need it most by offering reasonable fees and only offering the dentistry they need to attain excellent oral health.
Dr. Earl Santos builds trust with his patients by presenting affordable options that work with their budgets and strives to offer you only the dentistry you need. He performs thorough examinations and shares the results with you because being informed helps you make confident and informed decisions about your dental treatment.
At Causeway Dentistry, honesty and transparency are two of our most essential core values. We don’t just tell you that you need dental treatment and leave you to make a decision. Dr. Santos uses technology like intraoral cameras and digital x-ray images so you can see what he sees and understand how treatment will benefit you.
We offer a calm and friendly environment, and during your appointments, you can listen to music and enjoy amenities like massaging dental chairs, neck pillows, and blankets. Because we see only one patient at a time, our patients become like family to us, and we enjoy catching up to hear what’s been happening in their lives since their last visit.
