Our Practice

Our goal is to help you keep your teeth for a lifetime in maximum function, comfort and beauty, according to your personal standards.

Drs. Glenda G. Owen and Melissa Lent Brown welcome adults and adolescents (12+ years) and focus on restorative care (fillings, crowns, bridges, veneers, implant restorations), basic TMJ treatment and preventive periodontal care through our hygienists. We refer to a variety of talented specialists for orthodontics, root canals, extractions, implant placement and periodontal surgery.

Our practice is a little different from the typical dental/healthcare model.

We allow time for conversation to hear about what is important to you and about any concerns you have about your mouth and your dental care experiences.

We want to know you and for you to know us. We are a relationship oriented practice and believe that is best way for trust to develop.

We incorporate a comprehensive exam that includes but goes beyond the teeth and gums, allowing us to identify subtle conditions that may impact the longevity of your teeth.

We want you to have a choice in your personal treatment plan. Because of our exam, we can identify chronic as well as acute conditions. Your choice about how to proceed will depend on your priorities as well as your financial and time issues.
