“It’s a jungle out there” is more than just a saying at Safari of Smiles. It’s a jungle inside, too – the kind that kids love to visit. By design, the office of pediatric dentist Ivis Alvarez is family friendly. The attention to detail and excellence extends beyond the safari-themed décor to the welcoming, accessible Dr. Alvarez and her staff.

The setting at Dr. Ivis Alvarez’s Pediatric Dental Practice is specially designed to make a child’s trip to the dentist more like a trip to a theme park. The Safari of Smiles theme includes three-dimensional animals on the walls, live parrots, jungle sounds and colorful murals.
