Since our founding in 1974, our practice has prioritized delivering the highest quality of periodontal care and an exceptional patient experience. In 2022, we brought an Endodontist onto the team so that we could better serve our patients with cross-collaborative specialty care. All of our specialists are focused on the support structures of the teeth: the gums, roots of the teeth, bone, and dental implants. Our name, Foundation Dental Specialists, reflects our commitment to making sure your smile is as healthy and strong as possible.
