Welcome to Serra Mesa Smiles

Meet Dr. Helen Moreno: A Local Dentist with Heart and Expertise

Dr. Helen Moreno brings over a decade of experience to Serra Mesa Smiles, blending clinical precision with a genuine passion for patient care. She earned her dental degree from Universidad De La Salle in León, Mexico, and is a proud first-generation American. After completing her boards in the U.S., she began practicing in San Diego—where she was born and raised.

Dr. Moreno is especially passionate about creating a dental experience that feels welcoming, empowering, and pressure-free. As a woman in dentistry, she’s committed to leading with empathy and creating a space where every patient feels comfortable and understood.

Meet the Team: Friendly Faces, Family Feel

Serra Mesa Smiles is a true family affair. Dr. Moreno runs the practice alongside her sister, Paloma, who serves as the office manager. Together with long-time assistants Natasha and Juan, the team creates an environment that feels more like visiting family than a typical dental appointment. Patients know they’ll be remembered, listened to, and treated like they truly matter.

The office itself is designed with comfort in mind. Enjoy ceiling-mounted TVs with Netflix during your treatment, and a non-clinical atmosphere that helps ease nerves the moment you walk in.

Modern Dentistry with a Gentle Touch

Whether you’re visiting for preventive care, cosmetic bonding, or Invisalign, Serra Mesa Smiles offers high-tech treatments with a soft, personal approach. The office features tools like the iTero digital scanner, a CO2 laser, and EMS Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) for cleanings that are as precise as they are comfortable.

This is the ideal dental home for patients in Serra Mesa, Mission Valley, Kearny Mesa, and surrounding areas who want modern care delivered with heart. From routine checkups to full smile makeovers, the team’s focus is always on making you feel at ease while delivering results you can trust.
