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, a saltwater aquarium, jungle sounds and colorful murals.
