I had a very pleasant experience with Carson Dental Care especially with Dr. Aluning and her staff. i have been very anxious about a dental office to have my procedure because of the bad experiences that I had with my past dentist, but Dr. Aluning was very patient and professional, the staff was very helpful and kind and always available to help. Dr. Aluning takes the time to explain what needs to be done and provides valuable advice , It’s not easy to find a good dentist nowadays, I highly recommend Dr. Aluning and her staff to do your dental services.

If you are looking for a Dentist that will take care of you then you need to give this place a call. I am a customer for years and have no issues or bad reviews to share. I read most of the negative feedback but all of it are not pertaining to the dentist performance. Dr Maria Aluning is great in her profession and staff are friendly as well. Believe me, you will not be disappointed giving them a shot.

I cannot begin to explain how happy I am with Dr. Aluning and Her practice. Dr. Aluning has been my primary dentist since I was in elementary school. She has been through extensive training and is able to perform almost any procedure relating to dentistry. Her office is a one stop shop, from cleaning, endodontist procedures, braces to surgery she does it all. I have her to thank for my beautiful smile and my confidence. Her work is top notch and her personality and kind demeanor will help you feel at ease. Her staff is very kind and personable, they always make me feel like I am a one of a kind patient. I highly recommend Dr. Maria Aluning for your dentistry needs!

I had a 3 pm appt this afternoon. When I arrived at the clinic, I signed in and sat on the sofa to wait to be called in. I wasn’t even seating there for a minute when I was ushered in to a room with state of the art equipment and my vital sign was taken. Dr. Aluning walked in the room as I was just adjusting my body to the chair and after the usual greetings, she immediately went about the job at hand. She finished the job in no time and I thought she has just started to prepare me for the procedure. I guess she is able to do a superb job because of her many years of experience. She is complemented by an efficient staff that makes sure her patients are well-attended to and taken cared for. I’m completely satisfied with the service I received from Carson Dental Care that I would recommend their clinic to anyone who is looking for quality dental care.

It was good. Quick, polite, fair in price. Compassionate with the situation that me & my husband were in. They gave us a payment plan & I got my dentures even before my payments were finished.

I love the people at Carson Dental! Everyone treats me with courtesy and respect. Dr. Maria is kind and considerate, and really listens to my concerns and comments. I am glad I found Carson Dental, they work with the patient to optimize dental health, and this is important in all stages of life. If you have been away from the dentist for awhile, I encourage you to see Dr. Maria!

My mom referred me to this Dental office and I’m glad she did. The staff is super friendly and accommodating. I get really bad anxiety at the dentist and they do their best to help keep me calm. They are also very forgiving about missing appointments. They even work with your work schedule to ensure you can see the Dentist. My mom has had 2 dentures break on her and she always comes here because they take care of her in a timely manner and their prices are the best around. I would definitely refer Carson Dental Care to everyone in need of a dentist!!! PS: To everyone saying this is a sketch dentist, CALM TF DOWN. I’ve been to dentist’s waaaaaaay worse than this one. What is so sketchy about a cute older lady offering you something to drink or to change the TV to your liking?

Dr. Aluning and the staff here are all so amazing – very friendly, accommodating, and comforting. Visits to the dentists are often dreadful, however I look forward to my visits here. The atmosphere is very cozy, Asian decor, tvs in every room, and the usual rack of magazines to look at and kill time while waiting. I already scheduled my next appointment and look forward to another satisfying, accomplished visit.

First off I have to say I’ve never been happier in my life! I visited Carson Dental Care about 2 years ago and I was very unhappy with myself and the appearance of my teeth. I never smiled, in fact I had not smiled in over 10 years, and told the dentist “i hate my smile, whatever it looks like,” and she promised me I’d be walking out of there smiling. Turns out she was right, I walked out of that office smiling. Grant it I had like 3 teeth pulled and a built up bridge and pain,but it did the trick for the time being. But wait, I was smiling but not quite the way i wanted to, so they fix that! On my third visit, I had a bright sparkling smile, and I just can’t stop smiling. My family and friends saw a big change in my confidence, and because of that I was able to leave my dead-end job and started working for a reputable company. Your smile says a lot about you, especially when you can actually smile and express to others how you really feel without being embarrassed. So I went from being unhappy with low self-esteem to being ecstatic and confident about life. Everything just fell into place and I’m ever so grateful for the the drastic transformation Carson Dental Care provided for me. The team is wonderful and always glad to see you, and don’t worry about missing your appointment, because they’ll always remind you, even if it’s Sunday 😉 Thank you Carson Dental Care for this wonderful smile you gave me. I’ve never been able to smile like I am doing right now. I highly recommend Carson Dental Care! Best! A

They’re organized and always remind you always of your upcoming appointments.Best doctor and a friendly clinic environment. She’s over 100 percent when it comes to her services.

August 8,2020 I was about to cancel my appointment with My Dentist Dr. Maria Cecilia Torres Aluning due to this Covid 19 Virus. I live In Las Vegas Nevada And I decided to just go right ahead And Drive for 5 hrs For me to see her And Thank God I did. I was admitted right away and before she proceeds to work on My teeth she decided to do the CBCT 3D Scan on me. Wow, what a surprised that was. I was expecting that it will take a while but My expectations was all wrong it only took a few minutes and she was all done. She showed me the results of the pictures And I was blown away of the results. It even showed that I have a tooth that it was enbeded on to bone on my lower nasal area. Dr. Maria Cecilia Aluning ask me if I know about it And I said no just until now. Thank God she did the scan And this New Technology. I’m so thankful And greatful that I went to see her. I’m having My next appointment on September . I love her Office staff as well they are very friendly I cant awit to all see them again.

Yesterday I was in pain but did not have an appointment. Desperately, I walked in and asked if there were any appointments available. What I found out was that Dr. Maria, who must have a huge heart, instructed her staff not to turn away patients in pain. The Dr. and her staff were so sweet and caring especially knowing how anxious I am about going to the dentist. I was pain free and able to enjoy the rest of the weekend within 2 hours. I am beyond grateful to Dr. Maria and her professional and very kind staff!

Doctor Aluning is fitting me for Invisalign. Soon I will have a straight smile! I am so happy. My two boys got their teeth cleaned today. They were both nervous at first but they were so happy by the time it was over. The friendly dentist and dental assistants made sure they were comfortable and enjoyed their time here – they even put cartoons on the TV for them (each room has a TV). This is the best dentist in California. The office is so comfortable- two huge couches, TV, snacks, and water in the waiting room – and the staff is so amazing. Everybody here is very nice and professional and I could not be more pleased with my entire experience. THANK YOU CARSON DENTAL CARE! 6 out of 5 stars in my honest opinion.

Dr. Aluning became our dentist after switching since 2016. We started as an emergency walk-in patient, since then my spouse and I keep on coming back. During initial visit I usually get quite anxious but she’ll see to it that you’ll be comfortable and will make any procedure pain free. Before you’ll have a procedure done, someone will explain about your insurance coverage and co-pay (she will show you personally on the monitor and itemize your out of pocket fee-if there is any…which I really do appreciate the most before proceeding with what should be done). Plus they are not in a hurry to listen and address if you have an ample questions. To the staffs and Dentist, you are all amazing!!!Thank you and keep it up.

I’ve had several dentists treating me— since i am moving countries/ even state a lot. But i can safely and surely say that Doc Maria Cecilia Aluning is by far the best dentist ever. Not only did i not feel any pain, she was very thorough. and made sure to discuss with me what she was about to do. Her hands are very precise and gentle. She has a gift of assuring her patients to be at ease. If more dentists are like her— people will definitely visit dental clinics regularly- and the worlds will be filled with more smiles.

Went for a cleaning on 6/4/18. It was my first time. Ive been looking for a good dental place near me. Lady in the front was really nice and helpful. Last dental office i went to rushed everything from beginning to end. I had a pleasant experience at this office, especially with Krizia! She did my cleaning and i loved how she was very thorough–she took her time and addressed my concerns. And so did the dentist. She answered all my questions and did not make me feel like i was taking up her precious time. Thanks for the great work guys! Ill be back for my next cleaning! See you in 6 months!! Hehe 🙂

In 2016, I initially visited Dr. Maria Aluning, DDS at Carson Dental Care for a second opinion. I randomly picked the office because it was near my job and in my network. I am so glad I did. I was warmly welcomed with a gift. I needed a great amount of work. However, my finances were limited. Both the doctor and her financial advisor worked with me discussing my options in detail. We agreed that I would have what was urgently needed done in 2016. This involved multiple visits. Each appt. was made with ease and I’ve always been seen in a timely manner. At the end of 2017, I returned in need of some care. Dr. Maria examined me and suggested that I see an oral surgeon and then return to her office. I appreciated her recommendation, took her advise, and the collaboration between the two offices afforded me another pleasant experience. While my smile is improving, this past weekend I had a dental accident/broken denture. I called on Sat. and I’m truly pleased to say that I was able to initially make an appt. for Monday that was rescheduled to Wed which worked out better for me. On Wed., I was seen and the needed repair was done while I waited. I’m a firm believer that nothing happens by accident. Thus, Dr. Aluning and Merlinda her financial advisor have been a God send to me. I highly recommend Dr. Aluning & Carson Dental Care.

I absolutely LOVE Dr. Maria! I’ve had a few major procedures performed by her and I never experienced pain caused by any of the procedures. She takes her time explaining her patient’s dental issues and what safe options are available without any pressure. Her staff is professional and pleasant. I highly recommend her.

Dr. Maria Cecilia Aluning is by far the best dentist I ever have. She really takes care of her patients and spends time to explain the best solution to your dental problem. She is also up to date of the latest technology in dental care. Today I had my tooth pulled and she used a new device to alleviate the pain while injecting my gum with the anesthesia. My tooth was pulled without any pain at all. She is a dentist that I can really trust.

A WORD FROM YOUR DOCTOR
Dr. Maria Cecilia Aluning is married to Godofredo Soberano Aluning and has 3 children named Jacqueline, Jillian, and Gody. She came to the United States at the age of 14 after graduating high school in 1980. She started college at 15 years of age at Community College in Las Vegas, Nevada. She studied computer science at first then shifted to nursing. Because she was very young then, she thought nursing was very hard and was not for her, so she decided to go back to Manila in 1986 to study dentistry. She graduated at Centro Escolar University in Manila, Philippines in 1992. She has been servicing patients in the city of Carson and its neighboring cities for 20 years now. Her team strives for excellence in dentistry by continuously updating their dental knowledge and education through continuing education course and dental conference. The practice is committed to the highest health standards, while maintaining a pleasant and relaxed environment that works for even the most anxious of patients. She takes pride in her family based practice using proven, state-of-the-art technology. The goal of Dr. Aluning’s practice is to give her patients the best dental care possible so they have healthy gums and teeth for life. She also provides patients with thorough information about their teeth and their dental needs so that they can decide what is the best treatment option for them. Since 2014, she was given the recognition by the leading physicians of the world as Top Dentist in Carson. In 2015, Continental Who’s Who inducted her as a Pinnacle Professional Member, and she also received an award by being The Outstanding Pilipino in Los Angeles (TOPLA) for 2015.
