Our Core Values
Our Dental Office
Our dental philosophy is based on values, not numbers like the other guys. They revolve around giving our dental patients the kindness, compassion, and attention they deserve at every single appointment.
Strong
Relationships
We will never rush you and always take the time to explain things in full while ensuring you’re completely comfortable.

Open & Honest Communication
No gimmicks, no sales tactics, and no pressuring you to get procedures you don’t really need. We just give you information, so you can make confident decisions.

State-of-the-Art Dental Technology
We can examine your mouth with a sophisticated camera, create a 3D model of your teeth and jaws with a CBCT scanner, and even give you a custom-made dental crown or bridge in a single appointment with CEREC. We’ve invested in the best because that’s exactly what you deserve.

We Love Our Community
We select a charity every quarter and donate to it. After a dental checkup, if a dentistry patient doesn’t take our goodie bag, we add a dollar to the amount we’ll donate at the end of the quarter. In the past, we’ve given to the Children’s Heart Foundation and the local women’s shelter.
