Our practice

At the 2007 Annual American Dental Association (ADA) Conference held in San Francisco, our dentist won national awards for “Best Dental Office Design” and “Best Integration of Technology in a Dental Office.” These awards confirm that our doctor at NEXT dentistry, Dr. Veronika Vazquez has built the ultimate in dental facilities at NEXT dentistry. People fly from all over the US and from all over the world to receive dental treatment from this phenomenal dentist. We invite you to experience the benefits of our technologically advanced Salinas dental office with all the comforts of home.


Our dental office was designed with your comfort in mind.


Relax in one of our memory foam dental chairs or back-massaging dental chairs accompanied by supportive pillows and cozy blankets, watch our ceiling-mounted TVs with cable, or listen to music channels with our Bose® noise-cancelling headphones. Enjoy relaxing herbal teas and soft drinks from our refreshment center.


If you experience anxiety while at the dentist’s office, don’t forget to ask us about nitrous oxide to “snooze” through your dental treatment. Our aim is to make sure you have the best experience possible.

Professional and friendly dental care!
