Our Story: A Legacy of Quality Dental Care
In 2011, Dr. Peri, a highly skilled and compassionate dentist, partnered with Dr. Hanawalt (her dad), and together they served our community for 13 years. As of December 2024, Dr. Hanawalt has retired, entrusting the legacy of our practice to Dr. Peri and our dedicated team.
Our office, housed in its original 1950s building, offers a unique and inviting atmosphere. Each treatment room boasts a beautiful glass courtyard view, creating a serene and homey dental experience.
We believe in providing the highest quality dental care in a setting where you feel completely at ease.
