Dr. Steven Cisternas, D.D.S.
Site Director / General Dentist
When I created Richmond Hill Dental Design Studio my vision was to provide a practice where all specialties were taken care of under one roof. In my opinion, gone are the years of having to send or refer a patient to a periodontist, endodontist, or oral surgeon.
