As the wife of Dr. Paulo Cortes, I’m proud to be part of the family behind San Diego Smile Center and the practice we have built together. Being involved in our family-owned dental practice allows me to combine many things I care deeply about: honesty, exceptional customer service, high-quality care, and building genuine relationships with our patients.

I truly love dentistry and the positive impact it can have on people’s lives. My goal is to help create an experience where patients feel comfortable, valued, and confident in the care they receive. I’m involved in many aspects of the practice, including operations, patient communication, and marketing, helping ensure our office runs smoothly while maintaining the warm and welcoming environment our patients appreciate.

Helping others and connecting with our community is incredibly important to me. I believe great dentistry is not just about treating teeth, but about caring for people and building long-lasting relationships based on trust.

Outside of the office, I’m a proud mom of three and love spending time with my family. I enjoy gardening, cooking, caring for our chickens, dogs, and bird, and smiling as often as possible. You may also spot me at Padres games cheering alongside my family.
