At River City Dental Care we provide exceptional quality and prevention-oriented dental care, utilizing the latest techniques and state of the art equipment. We do this in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere, with convenient hours and plenty of free parking.

The main level of our building is devoted to patient care, with nine operatories, equipped with chair side computers, televisions and DVDs to provide interactive communication and patient education. We offer digital radiography, which provides minimal x-ray exposure to patients and exceptional imaging for diagnostics.

The dentist can project the patients own digital x-rays up on the television screen and have the capability to zoom in on specific areas of need, to show the patient why a diagnosis has been made and explain fully what treatment is recommended. The patient can then watch an educational presentation on procedures that are indicated, so they have a better understanding and can work with their dentist on their plan of treatment.

The televisions are also popular with the kids for watching animated videos during their treatment. Our patients have the choice of listening to music on the overhead speakers or they can pick from our list of available tape recordings and use a headset for their personal listening pleasure during treatment. We want your visit to be as relaxing as possible.

Each treatment room has its own self-contained water unit that runs through the waterlines of the dental equipment.These units are filled daily with distilled water. The waterlines are also flushed with an approved disinfectant.

Our sterilization center was designed to meet all OSHA and Blood Borne Pathogen guidelines, so as to provide the best practices in infection control. The room is divided into specific areas for contaminated instruments and sterilized instruments. We have an ultrasonic sink which cleans instruments and helps prevent injuries to employees. Our autoclaves are monitored on a regular basis by an independent laboratory.

Our staff members wear scrub uniforms, which they change into at the start of their shift. These are laundered daily on site, according to OSHA and Blood Borne Pathogen Guidelines. Gloves and masks are worn for all procedures. We have annual CPR training onsite for all employees, as well as an annual review and testing of all OSHA guidelines.

River City Dental never disappoints in service and professional work. Dental assistant is as professional as Dr Scott. Front desk is always helpful to file insurance for me. My confidence in this office is what I recommend to everyone looking for service and personal dental care. You will never look for another dentist!!

I had a simple dental cleaning, as I have for the last 40 odd years. The hygienist was quite pleasant and quickly ushered me into the chair. She explained it was only a cleaning and no X-rays were needed. I have a long history of a strong gag reflex and X-rays are challenging. I have gotten better over the years with the films and each hygienist has worked with me to get the best quality shots. I always appreciate how I am greeted upon entering the office and that they all seem to know my name.

I have never been happier after a visit to the dentist. I felt as if all my concerns regarding my teeth and gum health were taking more seriously than with other providers. Additionally, I felt so welcomed as a new patient by the very personal staff, especially the dental assistant, Catherine.
