Located in Steamboat Springs, Dr. Hank is a licensed pediatric dentist dedicated to provide the highest quality dental care to children in and around the Routt County, Moffat County, and Grand County. A healthy smile makes a significant impact on a child's overall well-being and self-esteem. We are dedicated to delivering excellent dental care with the utmost respect and attention to each of our patients.
Our goal is to make your time with us fun, quick, and positive, while educating you and your children on the importance of oral health. Not only is the actual dental care different for children than it is for adults, the manner in which it is performed separates pediatric dentists from general dentists, and our practice from others. Dr. Hank and staff are aware and sensitive to the needs (and fears) of children.
Our hope for all our patients is to provide a foundation for lifelong good oral health and positive feelings about going to the dentist without anxiety, pain, or fear.
