About the practice

Esther N. Mallari, DDS

Dr. Esther Mallari has practiced dentistry in Southern California since 1992, and opened Dental Care of Torrance in 1995. For three decades, her patients have returned year after year — many now bringing children and grandchildren to the same chair.

Dr. Mallari’s approach centers on long-term dental health. Rather than favor quick fixes, she considers each patient’s situation — health history, lifestyle, and financial realities — and builds a treatment plan meant to last.

It’s a practice built on referrals. Patients come because someone they trust sent them.
