Juanita Torrez

Lead Dental Assistant, also known as our Support Squad Lead

Juanita has been with Turlock Dental Care for over 18 years, and her care, confidence, and calm presence reflect every bit of that experience. While she originally entered dentistry with the encouragement of a family member, she quickly discovered a deeper purpose: enriching lives beyond just dental care. For Juanita, the real reward is the human connection—watching fear turn into trust, and seeing guests discover they’re truly in good hands.

Whether she’s helping guests feel safe or leading her team with heart, Juanita brings presence, empathy, and joy to every moment. Outside the office, she soaks up time with her granddaughter, enjoys concerts with her husband, and never says no to a good brunch with friends.
