LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR PRACTICE

We'd like to personally invite you to explore what makes our practice unique and special.

About us

Personal Relationships

In order to build that kind of relationship, we take the time to get to know you personally. We listen to your needs and concerns for your care, as well as to the every-day activities in your life! When you visit our practice, it’s like you’re visiting a good friend!

Comprehensive Exams

Our exams are more comprehensive and thorough than most around. Our initial exam not only includes a detailed oral health examination but a one-on-one with Dr. Shnaydruk, Dr. Wendt, Dr. Kirkhoff to discuss your goals and/or concerns for your care. If your treatment needs are more extensive, you will also receive a separate treatment conference where your oral health will be presented along with your treatment options. Why do we go out of our way to do all this? Because your lasting oral health is important to us, and we don’t want to miss a single detail!

Friendly Team

Our patients often comment on how much they enjoy our friendly team. We are attentive, helpful and kind. Our fun personalities, genuine care and excellent chairside manner will instantly put you at ease! We truly want our patients to be happy and enjoy their dental visit. Give us a chance — we’ll make you proud!

Gentle Touch

We truly understand how difficult it can be to come to the dentist! Our kind staff is very sensitive to your needs and desires. You will be treated with constant compassion and empathy, and our skilled team always works with a gentle touch. We aim to provide a pain-free and comfortable dental experience at every visit.

Quality Dentistry

We sincerely want to be the best at what we do so that we can better serve you. We never settle for anything but the highest standard of care. Our team members work consistently to the best of their abilities and are experienced in their field. We aim for excellence and can be trusted for quality.

Comfortable Environment

We know it’s rare to feel comfortable in the treatment chair, which is why we are committed to creating a comfortable environment at our practice. Special headrests, blankets, gentle and unseen injections, patient education brochures and pictures — these are just a few of the many things we do to make sure your visit is relaxing, smooth and comfortable.

“I cannot recommend this place enough!!! I’ve had problems with my teeth most of my life and it was time for a change. I spent a lot of time with Dr. Alex planning and coming up with the best treatment plan. We decided to proceed with a full mouth rehabilitation in other words a smile make over. The whole process was smooth, painless and comfortable. Dr. Alex made sure to explain every procedure from start to finish. I LOVE my new smile!! Thank you so much!!”
