Peterson Dental

Annette, aka "The General", uses her masterful experience to keep the entire office running smoothly. Since 1982, she's done nearly every job in dentistry, from starting out as a dental assistant while in high school (only a few years ago!) to a licensed hygienist to managing the busy front desk.

Patients often receive calls from Annette reminding them to take their medication, asking how recent surgeries went and of course reminding them of upcoming appointments.Receiving one of her famous thank you or get well notes is always a special treat! Outside work, Annette spends time with her husband, Bill, whom she married in 1982.

When it comes to your health I try to treat every patient like family. That's why I take the time to explain all aspects of your care to you, make sure you are comfortable in our office and treat you how I would want to be treated. I believe in a comprehensive, family-focused approach to dentistry.

There's no need to be nervous about your first visit to see us! Expect a warm, welcoming smile when you first arrive. Grab coffee or bottled water from our comfortable lobby. Then come to one of our comfortable, modern patient rooms and sit in our super-soft, massaging and heated dental chairs. You can even listen to your favorite music while you receive a gentle but thorough dental cleaning.

Your teeth are often one of the first things people notice about you! Therefore, I promise to be honest and give you the best options. I'll help you choose the right treatment that suits your wants and needs. Being honest, open and truthful is incredibly important to me, so together, we'll look at your x-rays, I'll explain procedures and I promise to listen so that we can work together towards your dental goal.
