We Know Your Name
Gentle Care
Fear Free Dentistry
A different kind of dental experience.
We focus on long term oral health and patient trust rather than profit margins:
Honest Assessments
If another office told you that you need an expensive immediate procedure, we are happy to provide a second opinion. We often find that conservative watching is the better path.
The Personal Touch
You are never a number here. Our staff prides itself on greeting you by name the moment you enter. We build real relationships with our Highlands neighbors.
Gentle Professionalism
From the most basic cleaning to complex procedures, Dr. Pendleton and his team are known for being incredibly gentle. We put even the most terrified patients at ease.
What Makes Us A Highlands Favorite
Not what we do but what our patients actually say:
Escape Corporate Dentistry
Patients like Deanna choose us because we listen patiently to their stories and provide the exceptional, pressure free care that large corporate practices often lack.

Dr. Pendleton is incredibly thorough. Patients like Hannah appreciate that he identifies issues like tongue ties that other dentists missed for years.

Elijah calls our office a gem of a place. We take great pride in maintaining a warm, hilarious, and professional environment that patients actually enjoy visiting.
