About Our Practice
My Staff and I are dedicated to providing you competent and caring dental treatment in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. From check in with office administration, to chair side with the doctor and assistant, we all want you, the patient, to know we are listening and ready to treat you in a professional and relaxed manner. We want to field your questions and concerns, so that you will not only understand the treatment you need, but also be willing to have it done. This can be a trying time for people, and rest assured we are happy to speak to any and all concerns for your total understanding and acceptance.
Dr. Mikkelsen has over 30 years of experience practicing general dentistry. The main concern is total integration of periodontal health and restorative function. Aesthetics are a large part of modern dental practice, but only when the foundational structures will allow it. Our new patients receive thorough screenings for cancer of the oral cavity, radiographs for unseen or untreated disease, and periodontal evaluations for long term stability of the dentition. It is our goal to treat to a maintenance standard, not just an emergency or disease care standard. Once a patient is healthy in maintenance, dental care is usually a breeze.
My office manager, Shannon, has more than a decade of experience with front office and treatment planning coordination. She is well versed in insurance programming, and will do everything she can to help you understand and maximize your benefit. You won’t find a more knowledgeable or friendly individual on administration side of a dental practice, and we are lucky to have her with us.
