It might be a little old-fashioned, but a smile goes a long way toward letting you know everythings going to be okay. Whether youre here for a routine checkup, a scheduled cleaning or tooth repair, to diagnose tooth or gum pain, or for a procedure that may take a visit or two, a smile is where we start.
Dr. Heather performs a wide, deep variety of dental procedures and works directly with patients of all ages. Each person who comes in here has a different set of unique dental challenges, anxiety or concern.
She attended the Western School of Health and Business and believes, quite simply, that improving dental health is a key part of maintaining overall health and wellness. Kelly is married and has one lovely daughter, lives in West Newton and enjoys camping, 4-wheeling and spending time with her family.
