Porteous Family Dentistry

History

Larry Porteous Family Dentistry welcomes patients of all ages and provides all aspects of dental care, thus eliminating the need for referrals in most cases. We work closely with orthodontists for patients in need of orthodontic attention. We have developed a loyal following over the years because of our commitment to quality dentistry and putting the needs and concerns of our patients first. Our practice is dedicated to treating and preventing dental diseases in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere. We believe in straight talk. No hype, no over-selling, no pressure. It is our priority to inform you of your dental condition and to put you at ease. We encourage your questions, and are glad to thoroughly explain your treatment options. We strive to provide each patient with the same respect, concern, and care that we would expect as patients ourselves. Our goal is to provide you with the best dentistry possible in a personal style for a positive dental experience.
