The practice is led by a team of skilled professionals, including Drs. Brian Putman and Jenna Putman, who are dedicated to providing comprehensive and compassionate dental solutions. Pine River Dental Care focuses on building trusting relationships with patients, treating them like family, and empowering them through education to make informed decisions about their oral health. Their philosophy goes beyond just treating teeth; they aim to educate patients on how home care, diet, and other habits impact oral health. The clinic offers a wide range of services for all ages, from infants to seniors, making it a true family dentistry practice. Key services include: Preventive Care: Dental exams, cleanings, and patient education. General Dentistry: Fillings, crowns, and care for common dental issues. Cosmetic Dentistry: Teeth whitening, bonding, veneers, and contouring/reshaping to enhance smiles. Orthodontics: Braces for all ages and Invisalign® clear aligners for teens and adults. Advanced Technology: Utilization of modern equipment like digital X-rays, intraoral photos, and potentially Cerec CAD/CAM technology for same-day crowns (though the most recent search results specifically mentioned "Pine River Dental Arts" for Cerec, the general philosophy aligns). They also emphasize low-dose radiation for diagnostics. Specialized Treatments: Care for TMJ-TMD, periodontal treatment for gum disease, oral cancer screenings, and IV sedation for anxious patients. Emergency Dental Care: Addressing urgent dental needs promptly. Pine River Dental Care is known for its gentle touch, focus on patient comfort, and ability to create anxiety-free visits. They strive to provide a welcoming environment where patients feel at ease and confident in the care they receive. While they are a non-participating (out-of-network) provider with most insurances, they do bill dental insurance plans (excluding state-run Medicaid) and work with patients on financial options. Patient testimonials consistently praise the friendly staff, professional care, and comfortable atmosphere.
