Accepting new patients

Our Story

Where bold meets gentle

Dr. Belen Serrano started Dentin Dental because she wanted a dental office that is easy to walk into. Dr. Hisham Jaber joined her, and together they see adults, teenagers and children.

We are a group practice with two dentists and a small team on McHenry Avenue in Modesto. Nervous first-timers and regulars get the same treatment: your questions first, your options on paper and your decision last.

Our Philosophy

What drives everything we do

Three habits we hold ourselves to.

  • A receptionist holds a clipboard as a bearded man reads it across the front desk

    People over procedures

    We see patients, not cases. Every plan starts with what you want and what matters to you.

  • A dentist in loupes and a black mask treats a patient seen from behind the chair

    Plain talk

    We say what we found, what the choices are and what each one involves, in words you'd use yourself.

  • A receptionist in black with a notebook talks with a man in a white shirt across a front desk

    A visit you don't dread

    Dental visits should leave you feeling looked after, and not only about your teeth.
