This is not your typical dental office; no "drill, fill, bill" attitude here! We are genuinely caring people, striving to fulfill even the unexpressed wishes & needs of our guests.
Noteable achievement: For the past 20 years (as of 2026), Dr. John has hosted "Dentistry from the Heart" every February. This day of philanthrophy to those age 18 and older (cleanings, fillings, extractions) is very important to our team, and in 2026 we hit a record $50,000+ in donated dental care! Additionally, 2025 marked our 11th annual "Dentistry for Our Vets", where we offer that same style day of free dental care to members/veterans of Armed Forces only. Between these two events over the course of 20 years (their combined totals), it is now estimated that the practice has donated over $1,000,000 in free dental care! This would not be possible without amazing volunteers and a team dedicated to giving their time, care and talents to those who need it most. If you're looking for a comfortable lifestyle, mentorship, and making a difference, this is the place for you!
