  • WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT

    Hapy Bear Surgery Center is an Ambulatory Surgery Center that exists to serve our Central Valley Children. We have a team dedicated to treating each child’s dental needs in the safest way possible. There are many reasons a child may need to be sedated for their dental care, some of which being: Phobia, Special Needs, Unable to cooperate or endure extensive dental care, and Cognitive Delay. We are here for children if they cannot be treated in a regular dental office and need to be sedated for their care.

    Safety is Our Top Priority

    Hapy Bear Surgery Center is committed to safety first! Each member of our medical team is highly trained, licensed, and credentialed. During treatment, your child will always be under the individual expert care of a dental surgeon, an anesthesia provider, a dental assistant, and a nurse. While waking up from general anesthesia, your child will have the undivided attention of a registered nurse. Hapy Bear Surgery Center has earned The Gold Seal of Approval from the Joint Commission for meeting the highest standards for safety and quality of care.

    Our Customer Reviews

    They have amazing, honest people. We went to another place down the street and they overdiagnosed saying my daughter needed extensive work done. When we came here they laid all our worries to rest and gave us an honest explanation of what was happening. Thank you again.

    My son had his surgery done a couple weeks ago and I would recommend this place to anybody they are very caring, compassionate and considerate I was very worried about my son they came out and talk to me while I was in the waiting area several times letting you know that he was okay.

    The staff there are excellent. I've never seen another dental office where the employees actually go above and beyond what is expected of them to help the patient out. They find a way to make sure that the patients dental needs are met within a short period of time.
