About Us

An office for the generations

Trust, kindness, and impeccable care. These are the cornerstone principles of the vision Dr. Mitchell Nore had for his office in 1948. Three generations later, Dr. Mitchell's son and grandson continue to practice as dentists serving the same community. We love what we do.

We know family is priority and we care for your family like our own. It is our mission to provide gentle, friendly, high-quality dentistry. We understand going to the dentist may bring anxiety and we are sensitive to your needs. It is our aim to make you feel comfortable and at home in our office.

First Visit Expectations

Let's get to know each other

Your first visit is not only about our team getting to know you, but also about you getting to know our team. Ask questions, express your concerns, and share anything that helps make your care as individual as you are.

Before your visit you'll receive online patient forms, which go straight to your chart. Please bring your insurance card — we like to research plans before you arrive so you get an accurate estimate of your benefits.

At your visit we'll review your medical history and medications, take X-rays with advanced radiographic technology, then a gentle cleaning with our hygiene team and a comprehensive exam including a non-invasive oral cancer screening. Your doctor will talk through the findings and build a personal treatment plan with you.

Payment: we accept most insurance plans and major credit cards, and offer affordable payment plans and financing options. No insurance? We'll work with you. You can also pay your bill online.
