The Drs. Perkins have completed a seven year post graduate continuum including a masters program from the prestigious L.D. Pankey Institute. The Institute advances skills in treating the entire chewing system. This includes not only the teeth but also the supporting structures (gums and bone) and the functioning system (joint and muscles). All of these things working harmoniously together create a great looking, comfortable smile.

Together, Tom and Gretchen focus attention on a comprehensive approach to patients and their needs. They and the entire team are dedicated to knowing the patients on a personal basis and building trust by thoroughly examining in a way that is understandable to the patient. They diagnose and develop an individualized treatment plan that offers long-term solutions for oral health and esthetics.

Perkins Dental continues to be the best dentistry has to offer because of their commitment to the patient. The Drs. work with exceptional personnel who support their philosophy of "One Life One Smile."
