We focus on making your experience with us the best you've ever had in a dental office. Our new patient consultation is second to none, and is one reason we enjoy frequent referrals from our family of patients. We provide a full range of services for all ages, and utilize a team of trusted specialists as needed. We're the only office in our area that has a visiting gum and implant specialist from Bellingham once a month which helps avoid travel for our patients.
Our philosophy regarding dental care is summarized in the following team-developed mission statement:
We recognize the infinite human worth of each person, blending compassion, knowledge, and optimal dental care at the highest level. Our commitment is to create a warm, pleasant environment in which mutual respect and open communication underscore our relationships; where we focus on each patient, developing individualized, comprehensive plans for short and long-term health.
This is just a fancy way of saying we treat all our patients the way we'd treat our own family members. We believe in relationship-based healthcare, where we form strongs partnerships with our patients, usually for years to follow. Children are gladly welcome and treated with kindness and respect, and get to visit the best treasure chest around. Regardless of age, we never forget we're treating people, not just teeth.
