Dedicated to providing comprehensive dental care to promote the health and beauty of smiles throughout the region, our cosmetic dentistry practice attracts Gig Harbor, Tacoma and the Key Peninsula residents. Our premier dentist, Dr. Gary Grimm, has the knowledge and expertise needed to treat individuals with a range of dental problems. Through general, restorative, and cosmetic dentistry, Innovative Smiles has the tools and techniques to give you the gorgeous smile you deserve.
To assist patients in maintaining oral hygiene, we encourage regular cleanings and exams so we can address potential problems. Dr. Grimm may recommend restorative dentistry for some patients to ensure that you achieve a long lasting, beautiful smile. Treatments such as root canal therapy and implant restorations can restore healthy teeth and gums and prevent further damage to your smile.
Patients seeking a change to their appearance can seek cosmetic dentistry treatments such as Zoom! tooth whitening and porcelain veneers for a subtle change or complete smile makeover. The popularity of cosmetic dentistry attracts Gig Harbor, Key Peninsula and Tacoma area patients to our office who are interested in enhancing their appearance with a dazzling smile.
Using the highest standard of sterilization possible, we are committed to your safety. Tours and demos are available for new patients, allowing you to get to know our practice before you come in for treatment. Contact our cosmetic dentistry practice today. We offer sedation dentistry to patients in Tacoma, Gig Harbor, and other areas near the Key Peninsula to help them feel more comfortable at the dentist.
Sedation dentistry at our Gig Harbor location involves either the use of an oral sedative or IV Sedation, so you can undergo one or several procedures in an anxiety-free environment. Although you will not be completely asleep for treatment with oral sedation, you will be largely unaware of the procedures being performed. When treatment is over, you will have little to no recollection of the events that transpired during your visit. During IV sedation, also known as sleep dentistry, you will be asleep during the procedure and will wake up when the treatment is over. Both of these sedation dentistry techniques are excellent options for patients who have overwhelming fear or anxiety when visiting the dentist.
General dentist Gary Grimm is extensively trained in the field of dentistry, attracting patients at his Gig Harbor practice. Dedicated to providing patients with excellence in comprehensive dental care, Dr. Grimm is a highly skilled cosmetic dentist who has the aesthetic sense to create beautiful smiles. Whether you are in need of restorative dentistry or cosmetic enhancements such as porcelain veneers or Zoom! tooth whitening, our practice can take care of your needs. Dr. Grimms education and experience in combination with the personalized attention he gives each patient contribute to our success here at Innovative Smiles.

My children and I have seen Dr Grimm since he started practicing in Gig Harbor in 2008. He and his staff provide amazing care in a safe, friendly environment. His office has little staff turnover which leads me to believe they are a supportive and cohesive team!

Dr. Grimm and his staff are exceptional. Since moving to Gig Harbor in 2013 I have become a loyal patient and advocate for this practice. Dr. Grimm is honest and has an, "if it's not broken don't fix it attitude" which is inline with my personal philosophy. I've referred anyone looking for a dentist to him because I believe if you have something good you should share it.

The most wonderful dentist and staff ever.They treated my son with such kindness and compassion. I can't recommend anyone or place more highly than Innovative Smiles & Dr. Grimm. If you have any type of dental fear or not so great experiences in the past- this is the place for you.

My husband developed an sore on the side of a tooth over the weekend. He is leaving for Alaska for six weeks tomorrow, so we called Dr. Grimm's office to see if there was any way he could be seen. They got him an appointment in two hours, did an exam, found a problem with an old root canal, and found him an endodontist to correct the problem this afternoon. They were helpful, friendly, and went beyond the call of duty to take care of someone who wasn't even a regular patient. I would highly recommend Dr. Grimm and his staff.

Dr. Grimm is by far the best dentist I have ever visited (and I've been to many over the years)!! In addition to being extremely talented and knowledgeable, he is kind, genuine and sincerely interested in providing the best and most affordable care possible. A friend referred me to Dr. Grimm a few years back when I was told by another dentist that I required $12,000 implants; Dr. Grimm took a conservative approach and a simple night guard solved the issue! I cannot say enough about the dedication and sincerity of Dr. Grimm and his entire staff - they are ALL top-notch!

This dentist office has a really family feel, not like the new dentist chains that are popping up these days. I love Dr. Grimm and all of his staff and would highly recommend this office.
