"Coming in not only as a new patient, but a new patient in quite a bit of pain needing an extraction. I was beside myself with anxiety and pain. Dr. Fife and his whole staff were so nice and calming and got me in right away to have my procedure without anxiety. I plan on continuing to have my dental issues addressed with Dr. Fife’s office and have a happier, healthier and stress free mouth!"

Susan

"I have always had a phobia when it came to the dentist and had neglected going to the dentist for several years. Dr Fife and his staff are caring professionals and put me at ease. I will be keeping up with and no longer neglecting my dental care!"

Ingrid

"The dental care I receive always exceeds my expectations and is the best I’ve ever had in my 45 years. I hope I never have to move from this city."

"I always have a great visit at Fife! Marla and Dr. Fife are so awesome and welcoming! Marla is definitely the warmest and friendliest dental hygienist I’ve ever had! You can definitely tell they care about their patients. I definitely recommend them!"

Allison T.

"I had a procedure which I had performed twice many years ago…both times extremely painful. I was very apprehensive to go through this again. This time my experience was so different being totally pain free and completely comfortable. I would never delay this procedure again…as long as FIFE Dental preforms the work. Thank you all for a wonderful experience!"

Bill L.

"Very friendly and professional."

Our Standard of Dental Care

At Fife Dental Care, we maintain high standards of care so that we can provide a better dental care experience for you. Our new facility is equipped with the most advanced technology, including digital X-rays, which decreases patients’ radiation exposure by up to 80% to 90% compared to already-low dental film X-rays. We see restorative dentistry as an opportunity to enhance the aesthetic appeal of a person’s smile at the same time we restore dental health, so we use natural-looking materials, including tooth-colored fillings and porcelain veneers.

Contact Fife Dental Care today to experience a higher standard of care and discover that it is possible to enjoy visits to your family dentist.
