Your Smile, Your

Wellness, Our Priority

Friends & Family Dentistry was named for that special moment when friends truly feel like family. It’s a feeling we strive to create every day—where patients are known by name, visits feel comfortable, and care is never rushed.

Why Choose

Friends & Family Dentistry 

Named for that happy circumstance when friends feel like family, the staff at Friends & Family Dentistry firmly believes that your oral health is inseparable from your overall well-being and systemic health.

Our practice is built on the strong, long-term relationships among a dentist, hygienist, assistant, and office manager—professionals who have worked together in various offices over the years.

Our experience has helped us value the qualities and systems that make a dental practice run smoothly, without any chaos.

Whether it’s a routine checkup or a complete smile transformation, our focus is on lasting wellness. We approach each patient holistically, caring for individuals of all ages—from children to seniors.

We take pride in offering the latest advances and high-tech equipment in our five state-of-the-art operatories.

Our Services

From preventive checkups to complete smile transformations, we offer a full range of dental services designed to support your health, confidence, and comfort—at every age.

General Dentistry

Prevention and education are pillars of our philosophy, since it’s easier to stop decay or disease earlier rather than later. Investing in the latest advances in diagnostic equipment, such as digital x-rays and an intraoral camera, allows us to detect decay earlier than years past. We also take time to educate patients on lifelong healthy oral habits.

Cosmetic Dentistry

Helping patients achieve a confident smile means everything to us. We offer a full suite of cosmetic treatments including whitening, bonding, veneers, implants, and Invisalign. Our Digital Smile Design technology even allows patients to preview their transformation before treatment begins.

Restorative Dentistry

Functionality is just as important as aesthetics. We provide treatments that restore and align the teeth and mouth, including extractions, root canal therapy, soft-tissue laser gum contouring, and dentures.
