Meet the team
The people who make it feel like family
Patients tell us the same thing again and again: the team welcomes you by name, remembers your kids, and makes a dental visit feel like catching up with friends. Meet the hygienists, assistants, and coordinators who make that true, several of whom have cared for our patients for decades.

Between them, our clinical team carries decades of experience, and several members have served this practice's patients since the 1990s. That continuity is rare, and it is one of the quiet reasons care here feels different.
