Creating Beautiful, Healthy Smiles For Over 30 Years
Personalized Dental Care in Pacific Palisades, CA
At Monica Valencia, DDS, we are dedicated to delivering top-tier dental care with a personalized touch, right in the heart of Pacific Palisades, CA at our premium office location. With a legacy of over three decades, our practice has been a trusted name in the community, known for combining advanced dental technology with compassionate care.
Our Story of Resilience
When the Pacific Palisades fires changed our community, our building was thankfully spared—but we were unable to return to our office for nearly a year.
During that time, our practice operated from a temporary location, seeing patients only on Fridays and Saturdays. Each weekend, our team carried our instruments, materials, and treatment setups with us, unpacking everything before long days of caring for patients and packing it all away again when the weekend was over.
It wasn’t easy, but giving up was never an option.
We remained committed to our patients and to the community that has supported us for so many years. Throughout this journey, Dr. Valencia also made it a priority to support other beloved Palisades businesses, including the Palisades Gift Shop and Palisades Garden Cafe, where she would often pick up lunch for the team. She also continued participating in traditions that bring our community together, including running the annual Palisades Turkey Trot.
At the end of the year, we were finally able to return to our office. Coming home was an emotional and deeply meaningful moment—one made possible by the patience, encouragement, and loyalty of our patients, team, friends, and neighbours.
This video shares a glimpse of our journey: the challenges we faced, the community we stood beside, and the resilience that brought us home.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for supporting our practice throughout this difficult year. Your kindness, trust, and encouragement helped us keep going, and we are incredibly grateful to be back caring for the community we love.

Great dentist & dental hygienists - patient & gentle & great at explaining improved dental care techniques! I have been coming to Dr Valencia since she took over the practice, and have known her for the 10 years before that, when she was part of Dr. Ward’s practice. Terrific, friendly staff and always ready to explain what is being done!
