Why Dentistry: Prior to going to college, I worked in construction as an electrician. Upon completing my four-year electrical apprenticeship, I concluded that I would like to pursue a career in the health industry but still be able to use my hands. Dentistry completes both aspects. I have the opportunity to care for people and improve their overall health and well-being on a personal level using my hands and artistic ability. Dr. Van Pelt

An exceptionally wonderful/skilled Dentist and Staff. Very calming atmosphere with a Dentist that shares his knowledge (without feeling overwhelming).

I was in Town on assignment for the Dixie Fire and was having issues. I made an appointment and was seen that day with the best care from any medical professional that I had ever had. I wish he was my regular dentist! I would highly recommend.

I absolutely hate going to the dentist. I only go every 5 years or so. Dr. Van Pelt has absolutely changed my mind. He is amazing! He used a pre-numbing gel on me and I didn't even feel the shots! I love his staff too. I highly recommend him if you're looking for a new dentist.

Just had my second visit to this office... First one was just a check up. Today, we got some much needed work done on my upper right side... Not only was the staff professional and very friendly; Dr Van Pelt and his wonderful assistant Michelle made my visit as painless as possible.... so painless in fact I never felt a thing!!! From the numbing needle to the drill and beyond, not a thing!! This office definately gets 5 Gold Stars
