About Us
Report
We believe every child should be treated the way we would like our own children treated. It is our goal to implement the highest standard of care at every patient encounter whether it is a child's first visit to the dental office, a teenager who is headed off to college or a special-needs adult patient we've been seeing for decades.
Meet The Team
Report
Lonnie began in 1990 in the dental field. Her scheduling expertise will ensure you have an "outstanding" experience with our office. She is often the first voice you hear when you enter our office and her laugh can likely be heard for miles. Lonnie's contagious energy will often get kids to dance and sing for their appointments.

Report
Many parents will call and ask when their child should first see the dentist. According to the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, a child's first visit to the dentist should be no later than 6 months after the eruption of the first tooth. This is a relatively new concept in dentistry, but research has shown that an ounce of prevention will help prevent a pound of problems.
Common Procedures
Report
These are the "fillings" which go into the teeth once all of the decay is removed or a traumatized tooth is repaired. They are tooth-colored and are bonded to the prepared tooth surface. Silver fillings, or amalgam fillings, are only very rarely used in our office on a case-by-case basis. Different materials have different strengths and weaknesses, and for the overwhelming majority of the time, the tooth-colored fillings will work fine.
Prevention
Report
Sealants are typically placed on molars with deep pits and grooves. These molars are at higher risk for getting cavities because the anatomy of the grooves allows for bacteria and carbohydrates to get packed down into them. Sealing a tooth is analogous to caulking your bathtub, where the grooves are filled in with a hard, white material that leaves the tooth feeling smooth.
