About Us

We want your time with us to be relaxing. Sample a cup of coffee, tea, or a cool glass of water as you peruse a magazine in the waiting area. Settle into our comfortable treatment chair and don a pair of headphones to listen to some of your favorite tunes. Look out upon our naturally landscaped shrubs and trees and maybe even see a deer or two.

We invest in the latest technologies such as digital impressions, digital radiographs and photography, and electric handpieces to deliver excellent dentistry and keep you comfortable while we work. Our well trained and professional dental team will make you feel at ease before, during, and after your appointment. You can rest assured that you are in good hands!

I felt as though everyone involved in my visit was professional and very welcoming. Coming from someone who has forever dreaded going to the dentist this was a positive and appreciated appointment. I thank all of the staff involved in my treatment.

I recently had an appointment at Dr. Lemperes’s Office and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. My hygienist (Mel) is incredibly thorough, personable, and genuinely invested in my long-term health. She takes the time to explain everything and ensures I’m comfortable throughout the process.The dentist (Dr. Lemperes) is excellent at what he does, providing top-notch care with a reassuring demeanor. The entire team, including the office staff (Courtney & Bev), is professional and great at what they do. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and well taken care of. I highly recommend Dr. Lemperes and his team for anyone seeking exceptional dental care.
