Birchwood Dental has been a great introduction for me into the dental field. The staff are all friendly, lovely, and helpful. I have loved getting to know the patients and being a part of their dental care team. As someone with dental anxiety myself, I can sympathize with our patients who may experience this as well. However, I am confident our dental team will put you at ease at they take care of your dental needs!

"I’ve worked in a daycare and I’ve worked in a nursing home, so it’s safe to say I enjoy caring for people young and old. When I became a part of the Birchwood Dental team in Spring of 2022, I was able to help patients of all ages achieve a healthy smile. That’s what I love most about working here!"
