  • Dr. Robin J. Henderson, D.D.S. Fellow of the American College of DentistsFellow of the International College of DentistsFellow of the Pierre Fauchard Academy ''My passion is our patients health and the art of a beautiful smile; modern dental materials make this possible. Often we can restore teeth to look entirely natural, healthy and brilliant. Esthetic dentistry is very rewarding both for the patient and our team Dr. Henderson states. This passion for dentistry is evident; she enjoys all aspects of patient care. Dr. Henderson finds it particularly rewarding when a patient begins to understand how important oral health is and understands their treatment options. ''Patient education is a major focus of our practice philosophy. Our goal is prevention-oriented dentistry rather than just fixing individual problems as they occur. With modern dental techniques and equipment we are helping patients keep their teeth for a lifetime. By catching problems early, we can utilize the most conservative treatment possible. We view treatment as comprehensive care rather than focusing our attention on one tooth at a time because it is always more conservative, less invasive and more cost effective to treat conditions as early as possible. We look at each patient as an individual whose overall health is our major concern'' Dr. Henderson stated.

  • Scott Practice Manager Scott has been involved in dentistry since 1994 and is recognized as a leader in the area of Dental Photography and lectures and teaches at dental conventions and meetings. He has taken over 45,000 digital photographs of teeth. Scott worked for Nikon for over 25 years. Photography is a huge area of our practice. It allows us to educate our patients about dentistry so they are able to make important, educated decisions about their oral health. It is so valuable to show a patient a high-quality digital photograph that clearly shows their condition. This takes the education we provide to an entirely different level. Scott has a Bachelors Degree in Biology and Photojournalism. Scott is responsible for implementing technology into the practice. We use the latest in technology to deliver quality care to our patients. We incorporated computerized charting in 2004 and digital x-rays in 2006. We use the CEREC system for same day crowns which is a huge advantage to the patient because, most often, they can have treatment completed in one visit and, most importantly, Doctor has complete and total control of treatment rather than relying on an outside laboratory. I think you will be impressed with the technology that we use every day to provide an unusually high level of care. Scott also manages building and equipment maintenance and has book-keeping responsibilities. In his spare time, he loves to cook and take pictures as well as spend time with family. Scott is the youngest of eight children (his dad was a pediatrician). He and his wife have a daughter named Sophie.

    Dr. Henderson and her entire staff is very knowledgeable, friendly, and courteous of your dental needs. From my first initial exam to my cavity fillings today, they take their time and explain what they are doing and what needs to be done. Dr. Henderson uses state of the art technology and equipment to set herself apart and show that she is the expert in the LC Valley. She was able to fix my bite and (which has been causing my jaw to pop and hurt for the last couple of years!) I am now more equipped to take better care of my teeth because of her knowledge. I would highly recommend this dentist practice to anyone looking for fillings, second opinions, dental implants or general dentistry.

    I had a great appointment at Dr. Henderson's office. Catherine (my hygienist) quickly set my mind at rest about a concern I had, explaining the situation clearly and concisely. As always, the entire staff was professional, courteous and friendly. Visiting my dentist feels like visiting (extremely competent) friends!

    Before becoming a dental patient of Dr Henderson, I have to admit that I had developed dental anxiety from prior experiences at other dentist offices. However, the first time I came to Dr. Henderson's office, I immediately felt at ease because all the staff were so friendly, genuine, and super accommodating! Dr Henderson has really wonderful and unique tools to help her patients feel really comfortable and heard with any of their concerns. After my first couple visits, I noticed that I no longer had any anxiety surrounding my visits there, and my teeth health drastically improved! Now I no longer have any cavities or gum issues, and I feel so confident with my smile! They really personalized my teeth health, and I would be glad to be a patient there for life. Thank you Dr Henderson and all staff for taking care of me!

    For many years I have had what seemed at times unbearable facial and jaw pain, which began after biting into a rock eating clams at a restaurant. For years and across several states and a deteriorating condition, I had sought help. Help really did not arrive till yet another attempt at finding a dentist who wouldn't just dismiss it. And that is when I met Dr. Robin Henderson DDS. From the first appointment, which was extremely thorough and beyond the norm I had become accustomed, I was impressed. Dr. Henderson and staff immediately became active in referring me to tested and trusted periodontist, orthodontist, etc ruling out and treating any related and all possible issues. And following up on those issues. Dr. Henderson and staff were always attentive, professional, thorough, personable, and caring. I really cannot express my gratitude and appreciation enough. I might add that Dr. Henderson is held in high regard by colleagues in the field. The fact she is also very artistic in addition to being very professional and scientific in her approach has been noted in the field as helping in her craft and she takes her care further with recommending naturopathic supplements of vitamins and minerals that have been amazing in helping to relieve the jaw, tooth and ear pain suffered previously for years. I am now enjoying life again as I did before biting into a rock and spending thousands of dollars that brought no relief seeking help elsewhere. I truly cannot say enough or express my gratitude. Thank you Dr. Henderson and staff. P. Ryan
