Continuing education is extremely important to Dr. Calleros, as she spends countless hours taking courses to ensure she stays at the forefront of dentistry. She has taken many courses in advanced esthetics, occlusion, and treatment planning at the world-renowned Spear Education in Scottsdale, Arizona.   She has studied extensively in implant dentistry and she has recently attained a Fellowship in the International Dental Implant Association.  Dr. Calleros has a particular passion for airway dentistry.  She helps patients with a comprehensive treatment for airway disorders, from infants to older adults. She is actively working on an affiliateship with The Breathe Institute in Los Angeles, CA, a world renowned organization.  She is one of the first Laser Certified Dentists in the South Bay.  Her continuing education will not stop here, as she understands the importance of staying ahead with current dental research and technology.

Giving back to the community is important to Dr. Calleros.  In the past, she has joined forces with agencies such as Habitat for Humanity and the 1736 Family Crisis Center to provide dental services to local families who are unable to afford treatment.  She and her team have volunteered at Maria Shriver’s Modern House Call for Women in Long Beach, California where they provided uninsured women on-site dental treatment.  In the past, she has volunteered with the South Bay Health District, where she helped low income children and abused women receive much needed dental work.  Giving back does not stop at volunteering her time, she continuously donates to many different charities and participates in local fitness events that raise money for various charities.
