Reasons to Choose Our Office

o Practically Pain Free Dental Care: One of the main reason people love our office is because we do EVERYTHING possible to make sure you don’t feel a thing! One of my goals is to make pain, fear, and anxiety a thing of the past when going to the dentist! I personally have a low tolerance for pain. I don’t want to hear, “This will only hurt a little.” No, that’s not good enough for me. As far as I’m concerned… I Don’t Want It To Hurt At All! I’ve always hated even the prick of that darn needle …but… there is now a great way we can give you an almost 100% pain-free injection!

o Affordable Dentistry For The Entire Family: We know dentistry isn’t the most inexpensive cost in your life, even though it is a necessity. We’ve found that putting off dental care has led to some disastrous dental experiences for our patients that could have easily been avoided if they came in and received minimal care. With that said, we accept work with all insurances, and we have payment options that allow you to run your payments as far as 5 years out.

o Raising Cavity Free Kids Program: We specialize in helping parents raise cavity free children. We used to blame cavities on too many sweets and poor teeth brushing habits. It used to be the child’s fault. However, those days are over. With improved technology it may be possible to be repeated on you OR your children. In other words, the unpleasant dental experiences of your youth do NOT have to be repeated on your children. We do everything in our power to make sure you are aware of the specific ways to prevent tooth decay for your child. What that means is you save money and your child remains healthy!

o Guilt-FREE Dental Office: Studies have shown that the #1 reason people put off their dental care has nothing to do with fear or pain, but has to do with the guilt of putting off the dentist. People keep putting it off, because they are afraid to get lectured by the doctor and staff. At our office, if we lecture you or make you feel guilty, you get a FREE gift certificate for Dinner for two.

o Immediate Emergency Service!: If you ever experience a dental emergency. I will make sure you are counseled and helped immediately no matter what time or day of the week it is. If I can't help you personally, I will find someone for you who can!

  • Dear Dr. Wightman,
    I want to thank you for the wonderful way you’ve corrected my smile.  I had wanted my teeth to be whiter and straighter for a long time, but had always put it off because other things were more pressing.
    The amazing technology that lets me see a photograph in advance of how my new smile would look was really exciting.  Now that I’ve had the dental work done, I wonder why I didn’t do it long ago!  It was painless, only took three appointments and I was back at work after each one.   When I was younger I had to wear braces for 2 years, I’m amazed this could be done in only three short appointments.
    Not only are my teeth whiter and straighter, they feel so much better, smooth and even, and I’m getting a lot of compliments from friends and co-workers.
    I also appreciate your patience in answering questions and making me feel comfortable with the process.  I felt completely at ease the whole time.   Everyone in your office treated me like family; they were kind, friendly and helpful.
    Please tell all your staff how much I appreciate their friendly style.  And thank you again for this great new smile.
    Sincerely,     Dorothy R., Sioux City, IA
  • Dr. Wightman,
    I wanted to take a moment to try to express my true appreciation for what you have done for me. Words cannot express how much I really appreciate this beautiful gesture. I cannot thank you enough. You put crowns on my front teeth and they look beautiful. The first sight of my new smile brought a tear to my eye. I did not know that this was possible. For the first time in my life I can truly smile.
    I have always adjusted my smile to hide that tooth, and for the first time in my life, I can fully smile, and I am proud of my smile! When I look in the mirror I see a whole new person. I have gained confidence in myself and truly feel like there is nothing that I cannot do if I set my mind to it. You did more than change my appearance,you have changed my life.
    I will never be able to fully express how thankful I am, and how much I truly appreciate what you've done for me.
     
    Sincerely,     Mike S.
