Dr. Lambetecchio received her credentials at the University of the Pacific School of Dentistry in 1987. In 2000, she served as the president of the Fresno-Madera Dental Society. She is also a member of the California Dental Association, the American Dental Association, is on the Board of the University of the Pacific School of Dentistry, and is an Instructor for the Northern California Institute of Cosmetic Dentistry.

In a profession dominated by men, Dr. Lambetecchio is uniquely endowed with gentleness appealing to children and adults. She offers composite (tooth colored) bonding versus amalgam or stainless steel crowns for decayed or cracked teeth. Dental sealants are a benefit in the absence of decay in the children's permanent molars. These sealants help protect the teeth from developing decay if proper dental habits are maintained.

Dr. Lambetecchio was also the first dentist in the Fresno-Madera area to utilize the Waterlase Dental Laser. With the use of the Hydrokinetic process, the Waterlase can remove decay with no heat and no pain, thus eliminating the need for any anesthetic. This ultimately results in a more pleasant and incredible dental experience.

If you are looking for whiter, younger-looking teeth, Dr. Lambetecchio also offers in-office "Laser Whitening" and "Take-Home Whitening Kits" for that bright smile that you are looking for. Click here for more information on this procedure.
