For most of my youth I was made fun of for having crooked teeth until Dr. Cucalon and his team came into my life. Dr. Cucalon and his team made my parents and myself an easy process not only for my teeth but financially. Going to Dr. Cucalon's office I have always recieved good friendly and helpful service which is why I think he and his staff is the best in their profession.

Well, I really did not like having braces. But Glen was wonderful. He gave me information each step of the way. Everyone else in the office was very good too, pleasant, helpful, ect., with any problems or appointment needs.
But, overall, I am glad my teeth are straighter and healthier. One month out of braces (it was lovely to go to Hawaii without them!!)

I love coming to Dr. Cucalon's office!
All of the team are soooo nice and knowledgeable! They were always patient and understanding with me and my sometimes high maintenance requests. I always felt free and encouraged to discuss any questions or concerns. Thank you for everything!
I’m going to have apples, carrots, and popcorn for dinner!!!!

I would like to express my gratitude to you and your wonderful team. They all know how to make people like me smile and feel welcome each time I come into your office. Thank you Dr. C., the invisalign worked really well for me. Now that my teeth have straightened so much, I feel great smiling in public. I am so grateful for all your hard work!

The team here were very nice to talk to. (You would talk to them about school and other things.) and then the visit was over. They are very efficient and knew what they were doing.

Thanks Doctor, I enjoyed it.

Perfection and Pleasantness: The Ideal Package

Dr. Cucalon’s office is made memorable, not only by their superb attention to detail and perfection, but how amiable they are. Every trip into their office is coupled with jokes and laughs. The charismatic receptionists and orthodontists turn a usual check up into a bit of fun. It seems that they know everyone personally, commenting on some aspect of their life when they come in. Even as a kid I was never frightened by braces, as some kids are. A main reason for this was because Dr Cucalon’s office and team put me at ease from the moment I entered the office. Also the mural they put up in the Ocean office is very beautiful and worth remembering. It depicts the ocean and the creatures of the sea, cleverly turning ordinary lights in squids and other sea critters. All in all, Dr. Cucalon’s office is a great place for children and adults to have their teeth straightened and their lives bettered.

Our most memorable visit to Dr. Cucalon’s office was when our son Kevin got his braces off. There was a party…cake, drinks, ect. We have had lots of orthodontic work with our three kids and we have had quality, caring service from the entire team. The video games always made the trips to the orthodontist memorable and fun when the boys were little! We never had to cajol them to come to their appointments. =)

Cynny- Mother of 3


The whole experience of getting my braces on and off was a memorable thing. I always had a good time when I got to get my braces. Everyone was so nice to me. I thank all of you guys for helping fix my teeth and I had fun all through the process. Thank you to all of you for everything.

Emmanual - Age 14


It was all awesome!

Manuel - Age 16


I remember all parties at Dr. Cucalon’s office. I remember when I had my herbst put on. It was painful, but I felt better because everyone was very nice and my teeth were fixed. Thank you!

Marina - Age 10


I think I will always be able to recall the relaxed environment and prompt sevice that I recieve here.
Thank you for giving me a smile I can be proud of.

Lucas- age 16


I had a great time at this office. Everytime I came here there was always decorations. The staff was always cheerful. This is a great place to get braces. I couldn’t have chosen a better place.

Bridget- Age 17

Thanks for making my teeth straight

Grace- Age 10


My experience with Dr. Cucalon’s orthodontics program was satisfying and amazing. All of the staff here are friendly and nice. It was such a relief to get my braces off. Thank you.

Danny- Age 15


I really enjoyed the treatment

Bianca- Age 15


The staff are all fantistic- very kind and professional

Laurie- Mom of Bianca


Dr. Cucalon’s office is by far the most interestingly decorated orthodontist office. The fish themed murals never cease to amaze me. Also, the wide variety of different rubber bands make braces tightening both exciting and refreshing. Thank you for my new smile =).

Sasha- Age 15


I would like to thank Dr. Cucalon for his fine work on my teeth. The experience was a long one, but the journey unforgetable. Dr. Cucalon I would really like to thank you for your incredible patience. I never thought this day would ever come, but thanks to "the man" it was made possible. Ladies here I come!

Dustin- Age 16


I have had a wonderful experience at Dr. Cucalon’s office. His staff are always friendly, and he is a reliable dentist.

Amanda- 13


Wow. I am in love with my new teeth! Dr. Cucalon and his caring staff made me feel at home from day one. They always let me know what they were doing and empowered me to participate in the process. I never had to wait more than 5 minutes to be seen and there is always parking on Ocean Avenue! Dr. Cucalon and his staff are true experts in their field and did an exceptional job transforming my very crowded and complicated teeth all within estimated time! I have already recieved compliments on my "perfect teeth" from perfect strangers. I would recommend Dr. Cucalon to anyone who is serious about a fantastic smile. I am absolutely thrilled with the results. I will really miss the friendly appointments though. This is the only dental office I’ve ever been to where I get hugs! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Darcy- Age 32


Your office has done an exceptional job with my daughter. When my daughter first arrived at your office she was unable to completely close her mouth and her speech was very unclear. Now, she has a lovely smile and her speech is so much clearer. Our family is grateful and appreciative of your office. What a difference your staff has made in Scarlett’s life!

Pamela- mother of Scarlett


My experience with Dr. Cucalon and the others who work here has been really good. They are very nice and always answer any questions I have. Overall I’ve had a great experience coming here.

Lydia- Age 14


My experience here at Dr. Cucalon’s office was a good one and I’m so glad I came here for braces. The assistants always reassured me of what I needed to do, and in the end, my teeth look great! All thanks to Dr. Cucalon my smile is GORGEOUS!

Rosetta- Age 16


Dr. Cucalon’s office has been great. Everybody is friendly and they get the job done. So far my teeth are almost perfectly straight and not a single tooth has been pulled. Even my brother enjoys coming a little bit because of the playstation games in the waiting area. Though my teeth do hurt sometimes, it’s either because 1) I just got my braces back on or 2) they’ve just been tightened. Nobody can get rid of the pain unless I take an Advil, but it sure is worth it because it’s one of the things that is the process of making my teeth straight. In any case, Cucalon’s office is AWSOME!

Hannah- Age 13


We are 100% satisfied with both the great results my daughter received and the wonderful, family atmosphere at both offices.

Bob- father of Adrienne


This is the 3rd generation Dr. Tony has worked on in our family. We love his professionalism and genuine concern and care for his patients! He’s the BEST! He also staff’s his offices with the same high caliber!

Audra- mom of Gabriella & Audriana


THIS OFFICE IS THE BEST!!!

Susan- mother of Max


As one of Dr. Cucalon’s oldest patients, I was very pleased that he was able to close my spaces and realign my teeth. I have a prettier smile now that will last forever. Thank you Dr. Tony

Sincerely,
Debra


Dr. Tony, et al
I would so like to thank you for the entire experience of Daniel’s braces. From the initial meeting in 3rd grade to the final day of removing the braces in 7th grade you have all been terrific. The combination of professional expertise, outstanding customer service, and just plain fun, has made this process everything we could have hoped for and so much more!

My thanks to all of you,
Nancy- mother of Daniel


A five year journey to get a chin! Smiles all around- Thanks Dr. Cucalon & your great staff!!!

Thank you, Dr. Cucalon & Staff
-Janine- mother of Chloe age 14


Our whole family will eventually have new "Cucalon" smiles. Considering that there are seven of us (5 children) and our ages range from 6-50, that’s impressive!

- Antione- an adult patient

"I have twin daughters (one a drama queen) who have been treated by Dr. Cucalon. He has been great & his staff particularly sensitive to our unhappy camper. We have recommended Dr. Cucalon to several friends and they (and their kids) are equally happy with his staff of great
professionals. "

- Katherine- mother of Sarah & Emma age 14

" The whole experience was alright. It wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. It seemed like it would be forever until I got my braces taken off, but it wasn’t that long. Like, I’m use to my braces now so I don’t know how it’ll be like with them off. I’m excited. I kind of liked my braces. It wasn’t that bad."

- Nancy- age 15


"My son has recieved great treatment at Dr. Cucalon’s office. The doctor and his staff are very kind, caring, and professional. It is nice to have the option for a Saturday appointment. It is always exciting to see his office decorations and fun contests, plus video games in the waiting area for entertainment."

-Leigh (mother or Travis age 14)


"Having Dr. Cucalon as an orthodontist was a little scary at first. I didn’t know anybody. But as I got to know the staff I looked forward to coming in for appointments. The staff is so friendly and I know that they are always happy because we always laugh. Everyone is always really nice, and when a new staff member was around they always eventually laughed along. Getting my braces off is an experience I anticipated for a long time. Thank you for making my smile beautiful and my dream come true!!! "

-Giovanna- Age 16

On the few occasions when we had an "emergency," we were~always seen right away."

Very appreciated by a busy adult patient.

-Rodger D.



Dr. Cucalon and his staff are the best!! We love coming to the office!! Everyone is so very professional and so pleasant. There is nothing like the party when you get your braces off. There are balloons, cake, bags of treats, and so much enthusiasm for the patient. The video games are great for the kids! We really can’t say enough about Dr. Cucalon and his staff.

-Cynny S.


What makes us memorable?
Your staff and your fabulous bowling party!

From a patient


It was always a pleasure to come to the office. Good cheer, good company, effecient professionals. And I wasn’t the one with the painful mouth- so what wasn’t there to like? I would whole heartedly recommend the Cucalon team.

Catherine- Mother of Zach


These past 4 years have been very hard for me, but I did bring most of it upon myself. I never really wore my rubberbands and that set me back about a year and a half. When I would come to my appointment they always knew how to get me motivated to wear them and make me laugh. All of the staff here are wonderful and did a great job, and I did enjoy my time with them and my braces.

Vinny- age 14


I would like to express my gratitude for the treatment you provided to me, for your professionalism, patience, & high quality service. Your associates have been extremely helpful & friendly as well. My special thanks go to Glen, who spent a lot of time on my treatment, and has always been great at delivering service and accomodating. I’d be happy to recommend your practice to other patients!

Best regards,

Natalia (adult patient)


HE IS AMAZING!!
We will always love him, and our children, and our children’s children. =)
