Dr. Roger's trip to Guatemala

Our dental office currently has three caring and gentle Registered Dental Hygienists (RDH) ; Sylvia, Liz and Carole. Throughout the year, our hygienists attend continuing education classes to keep up with the most current information in dental health care.Sylvia, Liz and Carole are all fully trained on our state-of-the-art dental equipment. You will have the honor of meeting one of these remarkably professional hygienists at your routine hygiene appointment. During your visit, your medical history will be reviewed, radiographs will be taken, an intraoral cancer examination will be done, and your teeth will be scaled (tartar removed) and polished. Your appointment will be completed with individual home care instructions in order for you to maintain a healthy mouth, gums and teeth. Please feel free to ask our hygienists any questions about your oral health during your visit, as they are all very personable and knowledgeable.

Susan, Jean and April are three highly trained and skilled dental assistants. Giving patients comfort is a daily priority along with helping the doctor's chair side. They will explain each and every procedure and are able to answer questions regarding alternate treatment options, preventative treatment, and post operative care so every patient is well educated in what their needs are. Such knowledge and care helps patients feel confident that they are in the right dental practice. They are all key players and are very valuable to this practice.

Our office coordinators Diane, Desiree, and Rachael are extremely knowledgeable about all dental procedures, costs, and time involved with each treatment. You may call them at anytime to learn more about what is offered at our office and describe in detail the procedures we provide. They are happy to help you with your dental benefits and any processing of your insurance claims.
