A practice built around unhurried visits
Dr. Alyson Tierney founded Zenith Dental to give patients time: time to ask, time to understand each option, and time to decide. She is a general dentist with a particular interest in cosmetic dentistry.
Today Dr. Alyson Tierney, Dr. Roman Moroz and Perla Escobar work together in one Pacific Avenue office. Everyone on the team explains what is happening before it happens.
We use digital tools where they help your dentist plan, and we keep the visit itself calm and plain-spoken.
Planned in writing
Your options, the visits each takes and an estimate, on paper before treatment.
Patient education
We explain every option, including doing nothing for now, before any work begins.
Digital tools
X-rays and scans when your dentist decides they will help, shown to you on screen.
Comfort
Numbing, a calm room and a break whenever you ask.
