We Love Our Patients

I am dedicated to providing every patient with unparalleled dental care. That’s why I offer you my exclusive 5-Point Advantage: five great reasons… five solid commitments… why you should make Salmon Creek Family Dental your first choice:

  • Commitment to Advanced Technology- Our office uses only state-of-the-art equipment, and my staff and I remain committed to keeping the tools and techniques we use on patients up-to-date by participating in continuing education that allows us to learn the latest advances in dentistry.
  • Commitment to Convenience- We offer convenient early morning and lunchtime appointment times to accommodate your busy lifestyle. Patients are seen promptly at their appointment times, and should you ever have to wait longer than 15 minutes, we’ll give you two movie tickets to help make up for the inconvenience!
  • Commitment to Expert Care- I remain committed to becoming the best dentist possible. If you are not satisfied with the care you receive for any reason, I will work with you until you are happy.
  • Commitment to Affordability- I believe everyone should be able to afford a great smile. That’s why we offer flexible payment options and work with all dental insurance providers. Uninsured? We offer competitive fees and honor all major credit cards. Our office also offers interest-free payment plans and CareCredit.
