Estevan Tico

A general dentist practicing restorative, cosmetic, and preventative holistic comprehensive dentistry.Hey ya'll, I'm Estevan Tinoco! Most of my patients called me Dr. T. Easy to remember, right? (Like T for Tooth!). I am so grateful to have such a talented &empathetic staff that is alongside me providing comprehensive dentistry. We're thankful to the community for trusting us with their oral and overall health.My roots are from the dry heat of the Central Valley of California, specifically Modesto/Ceres, where I was raised by empowering and hard working parents alongside my great friend/younger hermano, Geovanni.At the University Of The Pacific (UOP) I spent time researching spider's silk incredible strength and flexibility and its application for medical sutures, or earthquake building reinforcement. After receiving my degree in Biological Sciences, I moved to San Francisco to attend UoP Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry for my Doctorate in Dental Surgery.As a health care professional, I firmly believe that our oral health is systemically linked. As a practitioner, I am traditionally trained, but holistically minded. I treat the mouth as an organ, and know that other medical issues may be contributing or worsening the conditions in your mouth.Besides teeth, I enjoy spending quality and intentional time with my life partner, as she and I hike locally, backpack through State and National Parks, listen to vinyls &live music, enjoy (and clean up) our beautiful beaches and oceans, and cooking re-imagined plant based family recipes. In addition to empowering others through their smiles, I strive to empower others by speaking at youth events, and exercising my body and mind via running, yoga, and mindfulness/meditation.
