Our company is unique in that we provide dental services exclusively for residents of skilled nursing facilities, something we have been passionately perfecting throughout our nearly 35 years in business. Sadly most nursing home residents are unable to travel outside the facility for dental appointments without costly medical transport. We solve this by bringing the visit to their bedside.

A large portion of the dental care we provide consists of examinations, cleanings, extractions, and denture work. We take great pride in the differences we make in our patients lives by providing services they never thought were possible for them in their situation. The rewarding smiles we get from our patients after a job well done are a million times better then those received from patients in general practice.
