🦷✨ Happy Dental Hygienist Recognition Week! ✨🦷

This week, we’re celebrating the heart of our practice — our FIVE rockstar hygienists! 💜

Your dedication, compassion, and attention to detail do so much more than keep smiles healthy… you make every patient feel comfortable, cared for, and confident.

We are so grateful for the hard work, positivity, and teamwork you bring to the office. Our patients are lucky, and so are we!

Here’s to the ones who are always smiling and help to keep us smiling brighter 😁 — thank you for all that you do!

👏 Drop some love in the comments to celebrate these amazing hygienists!

✨🦷Dental Assistant Recognition Week🦷✨

It’s Dental Assistant Recognition Week, and we are so proud to recognize three incredible women who help keep our office running smoothly every single day!

Our dental assistants are the heart of our practice. Bringing compassion, efficiency, and positivity to every appointment. From being our comic relief… to our Ms. Fix Its… to calming nervous patients… to anticipating every clinical need before it’s even spoken, their dedication does not go unnoticed.

Thank you for your hard work, your teamwork, and the genuine care you show our patients. We are so lucky to have you on our team. 💙🦷✨

Please join us in celebrating these three amazing dental assistants this week and every week to follow.

It's National Tooth Fairy Day! Dental hygienists are
the real-life version, helping patients of every age keep their smiles strong, healthy, and something to celebrate. So thank the Tooth Fairy for all those dollar bills under the pillow and thank a hygienist for everything that comes after!

🦷🦷Fun fact🦷🦷
National Tooth Fairy Day is celebrated twice a year - just like the recommended number of oral health visits to your dental hygienist!



Shout out to our real life tooth fairy’s 🧚

We stepped out of the office today to participate in career day at Little Falls Middle School. We shared the day with many other local professionals talking about what we do and why we love what we do. Thank you Little Falls for having us!! 🦷🪥 🤍

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Dr. Kearney. Over the years anyone that crossed paths with him instantly felt a connection and love for such a kind man with a gentle soul. To many of us he was not only a boss, but a mentor, a dear friend turned to family. As we all mourn this huge loss, we ask you to keep his family and friends in your prayers. We will be collecting cards, pictures or any memory you would like to share. We encourage you to drop them at the office and we will be sure to get them to his family.

Our office has always been privately owned.

In 2024, the dental industry witnessed 161 private equity deals — the highest number of any health care industry.
