Abel A. Balderas, DDS, Los Angeles Dentist

Background and Credentials

Dr. Balderas graduated from dental school in 1998 from the University of Missouri Kansas City and has been practicing dentistry for sixteen years. While in Kansas, he taught for two years at Johnson County College of Dental Hygiene where he later joined the Las Pintas Project--a volunteer program dedicated to providing free health services to the underprivileged in Mexico. Dr. Balderas was responsible for initiating the dental portion of the program.

Since opening My Dental Options in 2004, Dr. Balderas has ensured that his patients receive the most comprehensive and advanced dental care by attending continuing education classes year round. He spends most of his free time with his nephews. They are the reason for his return to California. In his words, 'Being an uncle was too good to pass up.'
