About us
Healthy teeth and gums for life!
At Laurel Smile Dentistry, we believe that a doctor and patient become a team for treating an individual's dental needs. Our dentist spends most of his time listening to understand your concerns and responding with the best treatment options for you. With the help of our professional staff, they also follow up to make sure that general pain is relieved, problems are resolved and your health improves.
We also want our patients to be informed about problems and alternatives for replacing teeth, because informed patients make better decisions about their health and well being. That is why we've included an extensive section on this web site covering the full array of topics associated with replacing teeth. We encourage you to look through these pages whenever you have an interest or concern about your dental needs and care.
