Our Patient Testimonials
Giving Back to Our Community
At LP Dental & Cosmetic, we believe in making a positive impact beyond our practice doors. Our team is dedicated to supporting our community through local events, charitable initiatives, and partnerships that promote oral health and overall well-being. From providing free dental care at outreach events to sponsoring local organizations, we are proud to give back and serve those in need.
Pedaling with Purpose: Dr. Linares Rides for a Cause
At our practice, giving back to the community—and beyond—is at the heart of who we are. That’s why we’re proud to share that Dr. Linares is cycling in support of Castaways Against Cancer as part of the 2025 “The Bigger Boat Tour – Take a Bite Out of Cancer.”
This incredible non-profit is 100% volunteer-run and raises funds for cancer research through endurance-based events like this one. What makes this initiative especially meaningful is that the organization is made up largely of alumni from Christopher Columbus High School, which both Dr. Linares and our team member attended. It’s not just about the miles—it’s about the mission.
