Its a crummy feeling and one weve all felt and hate. But if theres one thing that makes Norco Family Dental different than the rest, its making you feel comfortable and we know that begins with our team.

We care for each person who walks through our door. And while you might ask yourself how its possible to care for each and every person, we believe the answer is because we take the time to get to know you! Each patient has a history, and we know that if one just takes the time to get to know someone, its easy to care!

But in addition to the above, the staff and doctors at Norco Family Dental have decades of experience in the dental field. They take each moment as a learning experience and strive to do better every patient, every day.

To us, your dental experience begins the minute you walk in the door. From your check-in at the front desk to the hygienist and from the dental assistant to the doctor, we promise to get to know you, take good care of you, and make you feel at home.

These two are unique in the sense that while they were teenagers, they were planning a way to work together as adults. Little did they know they would both go to the University of Louisville dental school, become dentists and realize their dream in Northern Colorado.

Another interesting tidbit; The name Norco Family Dental doesnt just come out of nowhere. Dr. Stewart and Dr. Buffington actually grew up in Norco California, a small horse town in the middle of the great hustle and bustle of Southern California.

The first thing you should learn about Dr. Stewart is that he truly cares about people. And that hes a goofball. Put those two things together and youve got a doc who will make you laugh at the same time that you feel like the dentist isnt so bad after all. Talk with him for a few minutes and youll see what we mean.

You already know where he grew up (see above), but you should know that he did his undergraduate education at Brigham Young University and his dental education at the University of Louisville in Kentucky. And that he has a wonderful wife and four wonderful children (none of whom want to grow up and be a dentist at this point).

Dr. Stewart loves everything Apple. Hes addicted to Macs, iPhones, iPads, and Apple Watches. He loves being with his family (all 26 of them) who all live in town, and he loves movies, the Los Angeles Angels, and Pringles.

Dr. Buffington, originally from Kansas has had one heck of an upbringing. He grew up in a single parent household and bounced around from city to city until he landed in Norco where he met Dr. Stewart. Before (and even during) this time, he often went without basic necessities like food, transportation to school, and a home. But he was somehow able to navigate through those difficulties, got an education and became the dentist he is today. Not only is he the only doctor in his family, but he's also the only college graduate. It was his difficult childhood and teenage years that gave him a lot of his drive become successful. In the ways that he received help, he wanted to be able to return the favor to others. Dr. Buffington is always looking for ways to help and bless others lives. You can often seeing him giving his time and resources to help to those in need.

Dr. Buffington and his wife Emily are the parents of 5 children ranging in ages from 3 to 17. They have a wonderful family and it's clear to anyone who sees them together, that they are finding joy in the journey they navigate together. He also loves football although he wasn't as good as Dr. Stewart growing up.

Michelle is one of our lead dental assistants here at Norco and has been in the dental field for almost 20 years! The first thing youll notice when you meet her is how happy she is. Youll know right away that she truly cares about youand the truth is, she does! Shes been married 18 years, has two wonderful children (one of which is a nationally known race car driver at age 15!!). In fact, Michelle (also a racer) had a car slam on his brakes in front of her and she subsequently crashed into the wall to avoid him. Needless to say she lost.

When shes not doing dentistry, she can be found depositing money into her daughter Hannahs account after she calls needing some gas!. Trust us, weve tried to get her to expand to other recipients.but as of todayits just Hannah!

Nicole is an 11 year veteran with the practice (and dental hygiene) and absolutely loves helping people love their smiles. You wouldnt know it unless you asked, but if shes not cutting a rug on the dance floor (trust us, weve seen it), then shes conning people into playing pool with her. Seriously though, she loves pool, plays in competitive leagues multiple times each year and just loves having a good time with whoever wants to play.

Her love of the Broncos and her rivalry with Dr. Buffingtons Chiefs result in some pretty interesting Mondays. You might see her wearing a Chiefs jersey or you might notice Dr. Buffington wearing a Broncos jersey. Either way, Nicoles makes each day awesome!

Kyla, the newest addition to the Norco team, is definitely not new to hygiene. She was introduced to dentistry at a young age as her mother was a long time dental assistant. It wasn't very long after she finished high school that she applied for and was accepted into hygiene school. She's been practicing for over 10 years.

Dr. Stewart is in the process of putting crowns, a bridge, an implant bridge and crowns on all my teeth. He is also realigning my bite. All these procedures are complicated. He possess an extremely high skill set! Excellent staff!!!

I'm so grateful to have been recommended to this practice! Both Dr. Stewart and Dr. Buffington are so friendly and accommodating. They were able to get me in on short notice (within the day) on two separate occasions. The office staff is also incredibly nice and easy to talk to/work with. I no longer dread going to the dentist :)

I had an emergency and Norco Family Dental went above and beyond to help me. I was given an appointment immediately. Dr.Stewart was personable and knowledgeable. All the staff was amazing and straight forward with my insurance and I was given the price upfront, no surprise billing. My husband and I will be returning to Norco for all our upcoming dental needs. Thank You for everything.

I've had a bit of work done to my teeth and this was by far my most favored experience. I missed my first appointment and they rescheduled without an issue for another appointment with in a few hours for the same day. I was only there for 2 hours, my tooth was out about 5 minutes after being numbed. 8 + hours later this is the least pain I've had to deal with. Highly recommend!!

Was scheduled for a cleaning, running about 10 minutes late. Said that they didn't have time I needed to reschedule. Wouldn't be until the end of January! Might look into going somewhere else!

The staff was extremely nice and professional!! My husband had a tooth that was causing him a lot of pain. They got him in that day and took care of it and when they needed to they sent him to an oral surgeon which again got him in immediately! Both teams at norco and the oral surgeons took great care of him, the dentist (dr. Horton) even called to check in which is incredibly considerate! I would trust these guys to take care of my families dental needs for sure. This isnt the first time we have been treated by them and it certainly wont be the last.

They were amazing.! The dental hygienist Alycia was so wonderful. She answered all the questions I had, she was thorough, she provided me with the information I needed. I felt super comfortable the whole visit. Dr. Buffington was amazing as well. He was very thorough, I felt comfortable asking him all the questions. If you are looking for a new dentist.! I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM.!! I cannot say this enough, they were both amazing.

Having not been to the dentist in many, many years due to a traumatic experience the staff was super supportive! They took every chance to make sure I was comfortable. The procedure was quick, and painless. Dr. Buffington was amazing! He explained everything very well, he was very caring, and have all my options up front. I will definitely be back and NoCo Family Dentistry has gained another patient!

I broke a tooth on Wednesday night, not only did the office respond after I sent a late night text, but also helped me get an antibiotic to help with the pain in such an amazing way. Nicole is amazing, and she kept in touch with me through out the weekend until I could get in to see the Dr on the following Monday. They were so gracious and cordial towards me, it was unbelievable. The staff was welcoming and helpful, it is a warm and comfortable atmosphere ( for a dental office ), the Dr's were friendly and caring as well ( they actually listened ). I've already made another appointment for a checkup, I wouldn't have, if this place wasn't top-notch and amazing, they make you feel comfortable and at ease. I hadn't been to a dentist in over 8 years, and I'll make them my dentist from here on out. Thank You so much Norco Family Dental

This is BY FAR the best dentist I have been to. I was only in Greeley for a year, and out of all states and places I have lived, this was the best dentist's office . The doctors and staff are kind, caring, knowledgable, personable, and compassionate. You can tell they love what they do. Thank you for fantastic care while I lived in CO.

Was so impressed by Norco Family Dental today! I broke a crown Saturday night and texted them right away. They got me in Monday morning and from the time I walked in to the time I left, I was amazed at how efficient and friendly everyone was. Dr Stewart and Michelle were wonderful. They took their time to explain everything to me and did a great job! I felt very comfortable through the whole experience! I highly recommend Norco Dental!

I've always been terrified of going to the dentist an also very embarrassed of my teeth. Dr. Stewart was incredibly helpful an understanding. He made me feel super comfortable an talked me through everything. The entire staff there are such nice an kind people. They made sure I was okay an didn't hesitate to answer any questions or to let me know I can call anytime I need. I was so scared going in to get my tooth pulled but they all made the experience so easy an had me feel very calm. It didn't take long to get that bad tooth out an I didn't feel any pain. I'll be sticking to this dentist office from now on. I fully recommend this office.
