What sets us apart from other dentists in the area? The genuine, lasting relationships we build with our patients. We take a one-on-one approach to dentistry, taking our time to get to know you personally and understand your unique needs and desires. We love hearing about your life and catching up like true friends. You are our number one motivation for coming to work each day.
Our practice may have a small-town feel, but the quality we deliver far exceeds that of many practices around us. We are dedicated to delivering the highest standard of care in everything we do. All our doctors and team members work with accuracy and precision, paying attention to detail and utilizing advanced technology to deliver superior results. They will never settle for less than their very best when it comes to your oral health care.
In every treatment and service we provide, you can count on us to be honest in our recommendations and to always keep your best interests in mind. We will never overtreat or push unnecessary care. We promise you're in good hands.
We know that dental technology plays a big role in the quality of your care, which is why we are always seeking to add new technology to our practice. We already have digital x-rays, lasers, iPads, paperless charting and E4D same-day crown technology, and we will continue to invest so we can provide you with the most advanced care possible.
There are preventative steps you can take to avert some of these issues, such as brushing and flossing regularly to avoid severe mouth pain. But there are also unforeseen accidents that necessitate an emergency exam.

Everyone is very friendly, I feel like I received great care. I have met all three of the dentists and each one has given me great care, they explain what I need and show pictures of my teeth to me so I understand everything.

Dr Karen is an Excellent Dentist. Make patient feel like trip to dentist isn't a choir. She takes all necessary time to explain issues. She is a great example for young dentist to learn from.
