Our philosophy of dental care is based on keeping our patients healthy and happy. Arming each patient with the knowledge they need in order to keep their smiles bright and healthy for a lifetime is our main purpose. We are gratified when patients return year after year seeking to stay healthy, especially those who have moved away with the military and then returned to see us upon moving back to this area.
Our staff is highly motivated and continuously trained to provide high quality modern, hi-tech dental care. We also offer the latest technologies for your benefit to include dental implants, same day crowns with CAD/CAM CEREC crown, LUMINEER veneers, digital xrays, intraoral photography, lasers, and more!
Our practice is dedicated to prevention. Once a patient is restored to the level of health they desire, maintaining that level of health becomes a team effort. We hope to be your main resource on that team, motivating you to stay at peak dental health, with the beautiful smile every person deserves. Helping children develop this attitude of a lifetime of peak dental health is a daily occurrence for us and a priority.
