“Níor bhris focal maith fiacail riamh” — A kind word never broke a tooth.

This Irish saying reminds us that kindness never hurts — and in our work, it’s the strength that keeps us smiling. 💕

We’re so grateful for our caring, hardworking bunch — each one bringing their own square of love and dedication, coming together (a bit like the Brady Bunch!) for one beautiful purpose: caring for you.
Happy Valentine’s Day from all of us — where kindness is always on the docket, and teamwork is at the heart of what we do. 🍀❤️

We're feeling extra thankful this season for all of our wonderful patients who trust us with their dental health and smiles!

Our office will be closed on Thursday, November 27th, so our team can enjoy the holiday with family and friends. We'll reopen on Monday, December 1st at 9:00 AM and look forward to seeing you then.

Wishing everyone a safe, joyful, and laughter-filled Thanksgiving!

🦷🐟 LOST & FOUND

We found a delicate earring resting quietly in our waiting room, like a fish out of water missing its matching partner. If it belongs to you, please stop by the front desk to claim it.

We’d hate for it to feel too “koi”😉 to find its way back home.

We feel lucky to care for such wonderful people.
Thanks for trusting us with your smiles.
Honestly, it’s kind of how Ant-Man felt meeting Captain America—
“I’m shaking your hand too long... thinks for thanking of me...”
We feel honored, a little starstruck, and incredibly grateful.
You bring so much good into our lives—
from your gardens to your kindness.
From the bottom of our hearts,
we hope you feel truly welcome and cared for here.

Real-deal people who’ve walked through more than just appointments and schedules—actual smile makers—we walk though life with! Sarah, our self-appointed historian, couldn’t help but notice the flash mob of former employees that converged in the office today. In classic form, she announced, “All the old people gather for a photo!”—heart in the right place, filter optional.🙄🤣 Grateful for the laughs, the history, and the kind of ties time only strengthens. It’s the people. It’s always the people.

We agree with Benjamin Franklin who said, “Lost time is never found again.” Here’s to taking a day to connect with the special people in our lives.

Every flag waves in memory of a hero.

We will be closed Monday, May 26th to commemorate Memorial Day. In remembrance of those who made the ultimate sacrifice, we honor their valor.

Dr. Van Leeuwen’s amazing Office Manager, Billie Jo, delivered a delicious lunch to our team from Alaska Oral & Facial Surgery. It’s wonderful to have such capable, compassionate and caring people to work with, who are more than colleagues—they’re our friends (and neighbors)! I know it had little to do with the fact that yesterday was our office manager’s first day back at work after taking a spill on the ice, but Sarah couldn’t help but feel extra grateful for their timing! They not only provide excellence in surgical care for our mutual patients, they are incredibly kind to us as well!
