“Helping others has always been my heartfelt passion and it is such a privilege to practice dentistry today. Providing successful care has always been part art and part science. Scientific knowledge has exploded in recent years, giving us better technologies to improve our patients’ oral health and self-esteem – all while keeping them comfortable. This has allowed me to experience first-hand the satisfaction of incorporating leading-edge technology to increase patient comfort and to expand treatment options.” – Dr. Kelli Junker, DDS
