Highly recommend Dr. King & his staff! Something had stained my teeth shortly after leaving his office & they were able to get me in and take care of it very promptly! Ashley at the front desk is always very friendly & the staff in the back puts you at ease. Great, family friendly office!

What Our Patients Say:

I love Dr King’s office! Their staff is always pleasant, and friendly. Informative and helpful with financial options. For the sissies like me, they’re the true Gentle Dental! I do not do pain well, and have severe anxiety with dental work and exams. They walk me through every step before, during and after procedure. If you’re looking for compassion, and true care, this is the place to be. It’s almost like they NEED to make you smile, to see what you need done; and it’s their favorite part! I feel so happy to be a part of Dr King’s dental family

More than 300 types of bacteria make up dental plaque.

Sports-related injuries account for approximately 5 million missing teeth per year.

Approximately 25% of adults DO NOT brush twice a day. This increases their risk of developing tooth decay by 33%.

Tooth decay is the second most common disease, second only to the common cold.

The first toothbrush with bristles was manufactured in China in 1498.

Coating a pacifier in sugar, honey, or sweetened juice can contribute to tooth decay in infants and toddlers.
