What we do

Complete care, minus the cold clinic feel

From routine cleanings to a full smile makeover — everything happens in-house, explained in plain English, with no surprise line items.

Preventive & Cleanings

Gentle hygiene visits, digital X-rays, and honest guidance so small things stay small.

We show you your scans on the screen — nothing happens you didn't see first.

Cosmetic & Whitening

Veneers, bonding, and in-office whitening tuned to look like your best smile, not a Hollywood cutout.

Shade-matched in our chair, not guessed at a lab counter.

Clear Aligners

Discreet aligner therapy to straighten teeth on your schedule, mapped out before you commit.

A 3D preview of your finished smile at the free consult.

Dental Implants

Single implants to full-arch restorations, planned and placed in one calm, coordinated place.

Planned in-house, scan-to-seat, by the same dentist start to finish.

Same-Day Emergencies

Broken tooth, sudden pain, lost crown? We hold time every day for people who need to be seen now.

Call before noon and we'll do everything to see you today.

Kids & Families

From first checkups to teen aligners — a friendly, low-drama visit for every age under one roof.

A prize wall and a "no lectures" promise for the little ones.

Meet the founder

Hi, I'm Dr. Mara Solis

I started Solara because I was tired of dentistry that felt rushed, transactional, and a little bit scary. I named it after the sun — solara — because that's the feeling I wanted the moment you walk in: warm, bright, and completely at ease.

"You'll never hear a surprise on the way out. We talk through every option and every dollar before anything happens — because trust is the whole job."

Your playlist, your show

Tooth emergency?

In their words

Loved by nervous patients
and dental nerds alike

"I've avoided dentists my whole life out of fear. Dr. Solis walked me through everything on the screen, never rushed me, and I actually didn't dread my second visit. That's a first."

"They checked my insurance and gave me the real cost before touching anything. No upsell, no mystery bill later. After years of being burned, this felt like a different planet."

"Cracked a molar on a Saturday and panicked. They saw me the same morning, fixed it, and the whole team was so kind about it. The weighted blanket didn't hurt either."

"My kids ask to go to the dentist now, which is genuinely bizarre. The prize wall, the no-lecture vibe — they made it fun without it being a circus."

"I got two aligner quotes elsewhere with zero explanation. Here they showed me a 3D preview of the finished smile and a clear price. Easy decision. Six months in and I love it."

Our culture

Kindred by design

We built Solara around one idea: patients aren't case numbers, they're neighbors — and often, over the years, they become kindred. The warmth you feel isn't a script. It's just how this team treats each other, and it spills right over to you.
