Our mission

Bettering our patients' quality of life

Our mission at Tender Dental Care is to engage with our patients in bettering their quality of life. We believe strongly in prevention. “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of care.” That's why Dr. Prabha Raju offers preventive and conservative care first, and why she has a special interest, from personal experience, in treating sleep apnea.

Our team is passionate about fully restoring a person's oral health and loves to create beautiful smiles. We'll explain what we see in plain language, give you honest options, and never recommend more than you need.

That woman is very strong, and very nice. I had some teeth that were not doing too well. The staff are very helpful and friendly, put me on antibiotics prior to coming in so there would be no complications, and she was able to get those teeth out very quickly. I gave them all 10 stars. Taking my family and friends here.

I had an amazing experience at Tender Dental Care. My dentist was incredibly patient, gentle, and thorough while performing three root canals for me. She explained every step, made sure I was comfortable the entire time, and genuinely cared about my recovery. The procedures were smooth, professional, and far less stressful than I expected.

Dr. Raju is kind and amazing, with her wonderful staff helping me to undo bad, traumatizing dental work from a previous office. My gratitude for this office's help is unmeasurable. My oral care is very important to me. I love food and smiling!!

I had a walk-in emergency. The dentist came right in with her pleasant disposition and took care of the problem. I recommend her to everyone for their dental needs. She goes over and beyond the call of duty. Kudos to the world's best dentist.
