Continuing education is extremely important to Dr. Calleros, as she spends countless hours taking courses to ensure she stays at the forefront of dentistry. She has taken many courses in advanced esthetics, occlusion, and treatment planning at the world-renowned Scottsdale Center for Dentistry. Taking advanced courses in Invisalign Orthodontics has given her Preferred Invisalign provider status. Her latest study is in implant dentistry and she has recently attained a Fellowship in the International Dental Implant Association. She is one of the first and only Laser Certified Dentists in the South Bay. Her continuing education will not stop here, as she understands the importance of staying ahead with current dental research and technology. Her latest achievement is the addition of cone beam computerized technology (3-D radiology). She uses this for diagnosis of oral pathology, endodontic root canal treatment, and digital implant planning. This seamlessly integrates with CEREC technology, one-visit crowns. She has earned the distinction of becoming a mentor for advanced CEREC classes at the Scottsdale Center and is a proud member of CERECDOCTORS.com.

You can trust that Dr. Calleros will listen to each individual need and provide you with optimal care. She has chosen a team that holds the same beliefs and value system to ensure the entire dental experience can be pleasant, knowledgeable, and treat you like family.
Giving back to the community is important to Dr. Calleros. Each year she joins forces with agencies such as Habitat for Humanity and the 1736 Family Crisis Center to provide dental services to local families who are unable to afford treatment. She and her team have volunteered at Maria Shriver's Modern House Call for Women in Long Beach, California where they provided uninsured women on-site dental treatment. In the past, she has volunteered with the South Bay Health District, where she helped low income children and abused women receive much needed dental work. Giving back does not stop at volunteering her time, she continuously donates to many different charities and participates in local fitness events that raise money for various charities. She and her team recently did over $15,000 of dental treatment on families from a local crisis center. In September 2015 she not only completed the Avon39 Walk to End Breast Cancer in Santa Barbara, she also raised over $6000.00 towards breast cancer research and treatment.

Her daughter graduated from San Diego State University and is pursuing a career in the entertainment industry and her son is a firefighter in Scottsdale, Arizona. An animal lover, she has a beautiful Thoroughbred horse named Face and just added a new dog to her family, named Brandi.
Away from the office, Dr. Calleros enjoys many outdoor activities and is quite the weekend warrior.
