Mission

Our mission is to make each patient feel like our office is an extension of their home. We are able to do this because of our training, experience, and compassion. Together, we are able to offer comprehensive dental services in a punctual and timely manner so you can make the most of your visit and get back to your normal schedule. Our quiet and secluded location, combined with our over 20 years of providing conscious sedation dentistry, allow patients to remain relaxed and comfortable whether you are receiving a cleaning and exam or undergoing a more extensive procedure like dental implants.

Knowledgeable and Compassionate Staff

We are especially interested in making all our patients feel right at home! We put your needs first to achieve efficient and comprehensive treatment. Our staff is trained and skilled, and we strive to provide energetic and fun-loving service to each patient. Each member of our dental staff is a registered assistant, and our office staff has years of experience in treating patients with the highest level of care. We strive to stay abreast of the latest in technological advances by regularly attending continuing education courses and seminars.
