Cristina Started to love the Dental field in 2010. She has been working in the front office since 2012 and loves it!. Cristina loves to be able to tell the patients, Yes! we can see you and get your dental needs addressed. One of her favorite things is to see patients come back every 6 months for their Hygiene appointments. She says “ to me it’s most important to do preventative dentistry. My goal is to work with our hygiene team to help our patients schedule back to keep their teeth healthy and feel great about their smiles.” Cristina is from Jalisco, Mexico and loves visiting during the summer, which by the way is her favorite season of the year. Her hobbies include: spending time with her kids, going to the gym and watching movies.

Laura is a great asset to our team and has over 12 years experience as a Hygienist! Her diligence and devotion to her patients makes her fantastic. Laura enjoys educating and helping our patients, and she says, "I love my job. Our great team and Doctor's are great!" Usually she's at work ready to see out 'early bird' patients first thing in the morning. Laura loves to read, quilt with her daughters, gardening, yard work, playtime with grandkids, and lately you will find Laura and her husband crusing around on their new motorcycle. You'll know her, she's on that red 'blur' with flying blond hair swooshing by.

"Our office is not a high pressure place; in fact, just the opposite. We work hard when we are here, but we like to have fun at the same time. I think the patients relate to our easy-going attitudes. We want to make sure we put patients at ease and follow-up with top-of-the-line dental care. We are really excited about our new CEREC machine, digital x-ray equipment and in room televisions."
Kari has enjoyed helping dental patients for over 11 years as a Dental Hygienist! She is dedicated to helping enhance the smiles of our patients!

"Right when I walked through the door, I was instantly greeted with a friendly smile. It was my first visit in a couple of years and they still remembered me. I felt welcome and knew I was in good hands, from check in to check out. The staff is amazing and awesome and super friendly!!"
Review by danah, PROVO
"I love this office. I have received the best dental health education from here and have had better oral health because of it. I especially love Dr. Peacock although I know he is retiring soon. The office staff are friendly and helpful (which I haven't found at any other medical office) and the hygienists are gentle with my sensitive mouth. They care about you at this office. I love it!"
Review by elizabethf, OREM
"Very courteous staff, and detail-oriented. Always happy to make sure my teeth feel great. No issue is too small. Even if my bite just doesn't feel quite right sometime after service they are happy to adjust it until they know I feel satisfied. I recommend this dental team to anyone who is looking for top-notch service from an outstanding staff."
