Dentistry as it Should Be

We've built a practice around one belief: exceptional results and a calm, unhurried experience are not mutually exclusive.

01

Spa-Level Environment

Aromatherapy, warm blankets, noise-cancelling headphones, and a beverage station — designed to calm even the most anxious patient from the moment you walk in.

02

Advanced Technology

Digital X-rays, intraoral cameras, 3D CBCT imaging, and same-day CEREC crowns mean more accurate diagnoses, less chair time, and better outcomes.

03

Genuine Relationships

Dr. Dawson and Dr. Turke see their patients personally — not a rotating cast of associates. You see the same faces every visit, and they know your history.

The Only Dental Practice Near You with an
On-Site Board-Certified Anesthesiologist

Most dental offices that offer IV sedation have the dentist administer it. We have a board-certified dental anesthesiologist — a physician-level specialist — dedicated exclusively to your sedation care.

Zero Fear, Zero Memory

IV sedation patients typically experience little to no memory of the procedure. You close your eyes, and it's done.

Physician-Level Safety

Our board-certified anesthesiologist monitors you exclusively throughout your procedure — they do nothing else while you're in the chair.

Complex Cases in One Visit

Full-arch implants, multiple extractions, extensive restorations — procedures others refer out, completed comfortably in a single appointment.

Experienced. Caring.
Dedicated to You.

Two co-founders, one shared commitment: exceptional care in an environment that respects your time and your comfort.
