Selecting a dentist is never an easy process. The dental professional
you choose should know about the latest procedures and use cutting edge
technology. Not only should they be knowledgeable, but their knowledge
should come from extensive experience and continuous training.
At Abbeville, we combine all these criteria with the desire to make you
and your family comfortable while you’re here. When you visit, you’ll
see we’re a friendly team you’ll want to get to know.
Our Office Staff
Our office is very casual and we try to greet you by name when you enter.
Our staff members are always eager to help you with scheduling, financing,
and any other concerns. If you have any questions, call us and our office
administrators will do all they can to assist you.
Our Dental Staff
During your first visit, you’ll meet a member of our dental support
staff. They set-up for the doctor, manage our digital x-rays, and address
any concerns you may have about procedures or treatments you are undergoing.
These professionals are highly-trained, have years of experience and most
importantly, know how to make your dental appointment pleasant.
Our Hygiene Staff
Our hygienists know that you have a lot going on in your life. If it’s
been a few years since your last check-up, and you are feeling any anxiety,
our hygienists have a very gentle touch. Their priority is to first make
you at ease while they clean your teeth and then to suggest ways to enhance
your dental routine.

care.
We also contribute to charitable organizations year round. If you are
a new patient, ask us about our contribution coupon. When you present
this coupon, we will donate $10 of our fee for your visit to the Ronald
McDonald House, or other local charity.
