Dentistry that explains itself.
You'll know what we found, what it costs and what happens next before you leave the chair. A small practice on Pearl Street, taking new patients, with same-week appointments most weeks.
“They showed me the x-ray, told me the price, and then asked what I wanted to do. Nobody had ever done that before.”
Your first visit, minute by minute.
Seventy-five minutes, and none of it is a mystery. If anything we find needs treatment, you'll leave with a written plan and the price of each line.
A conversation first
Ten minutes with your dentist before anyone picks up an instrument. What's bothered you, what you want, what you'd rather not do.
Pictures of everything
Digital x-rays and a quick scan of your mouth. You'll see them on the screen in front of you, and we'll point at what we're looking at.
The cleaning
A hygienist who'll tell you what she's doing and stop if you raise a hand. Numbing gel is there if you want it; just say.
The plan, in writing
What's fine, what to watch, and what to fix, with a price next to each. Nothing's scheduled until you've gone home and thought about it.
Prices you can see before you sit down.
These are what you pay without insurance. With insurance, we check your plan before the visit and tell you the number in advance.

Check your insurance in ten seconds.
We're in network with most of the big plans and we file the claim for you either way. If we don't take yours, the Alder plan usually works out cheaper than you'd expect.
Four people you'll actually meet.
We're small on purpose. The dentist who sees you the first time is the one who sees you the next.
Dr. Hannah Reyes
Twelve years in practice, the last six here. Trained at Colorado, teaches a day a month. Likes a long explanation and a short appointment.
Dr. Tom Okafor
Crowns, implants and the harder cases. Patient to a fault, which is the quality you want when you're the one in the chair.
Marisol Vega
Gentle, thorough and honest about flossing. Has a following; ask for her by name and book early.
Jess Lindqvist
The person who answers the phone, checks your plan and tells you the real number. Reaches most insurers in under a day.
On Pearl Street, above the bakery.
