About Our Practice

Your new dental family

Quality. Transparency. Empathy — those are the values Dr. Thorlakson envisioned when he first started our practice. Our goal is simple: we want to be more than just your dentist, we want to be your dental home for life.

We believe that great dental care is built on trust. We’re here not only to give you a healthy smile but also to make sure you feel comfortable and cared for throughout your dental experience. Get to know us and learn what it means to be part of our family.
