Personal RelationshipsIn order to build that kind of relationship, we take the time to get to know you personally. We listen to your needs and concerns for your care, as well as to the every-day activities in your life! When you visit our practice, it's like you're visiting a good friend!
Comprehensive ExamsOur exams are more comprehensive and thorough than most around. Our initial exam not only includes a detailed oral health examination but a one-on-one with Dr. Shnaydruk, Dr. Wendt, Dr. Kirkhoff to discuss your goals and/or concerns for your care. If your treatment needs are more extensive, you will also receive a separate treatment conference where your oral health will be presented along with your treatment options. Why do we go out of our way to do all this? Because your lasting oral health is important to us, and we don't want to miss a single detail!

Our fun personalities, genuine care and excellent chairside manner will instantly put you at ease! We truly want our patients to be happy and enjoy their dental visit. Give us a chance we'll make you proud!

Our team members work consistently to the best of their abilities and are experienced in their field. We aim for excellence and can be trusted for quality.
Comfortable EnvironmentWe know it's rare to feel comfortable in the treatment chair, which is why we are committed to creating a comfortable environment at our practice.

I cannot recommend this place enough!!! Ive had problems with my teeth most of my life and it was time for a change. I spent a lot of time with Dr. Alex planning and coming up with the best treatment plan. We decided to proceed with a full mouth rehabilitation in other words a smile make over. The whole process was smooth, painless and comfortable. Dr. Alex made sure to explain every procedure from start to finish. I LOVE my new smile!! Thank you so much!!
As most people have anxiety going to the dentist... I too am one of those people.. The entire staff from the front desk to the dentist are amazing.. not only professional, very welcoming and are excellent at putting your mind at ease.. I would recommend them to anyone!!
After a schedule mix up on my part Dr Kirkoff and staff was able to get me in later the same day to have my temp crown work done. I have been a customer of this office for 15 plus years and they have always been great. Thank you!
I appreciate the total information that is given before a procedure is given. So I know what to expect. My dentist explains what he recommends and the consequences if I decide not to do a procedure. No pressure just facts so I can decide. Very pleased with the staff as well!
