Reduce your risk of cavities with dental sealants. Learn more about how they help below!
Sealants are a protective varnish that is placed to protect the deep grooves in your back teeth. These grooves are hiding places that allow bacteria to accumulate and cause tooth decay. The sealant eliminates the hiding place and works to prevent cavities.
At Mid-Columiba Dental, we encourage all adults and children to have your back teeth properly sealed. Sealants can prevent the kind of decay that starts in the deep grooves of back teeth, and we believe if you keep your teeth properly sealed, you will eliminate your risk for this kind of tooth decay.
Adults are just as prone to tooth decay as children are, and this inexpensive procedure will help avoid much more expensive problems in the future.
Most insurance companies will reimburse for sealants placed on permanent molars in patients who are under the age of 14. Additionally flex-spending accounts and health savings accounts (FSA and HSA) usually reimburse for this procedure. At Mid-Columbia Dental, we will do a complimentary benefits check to see if your insurance company may cover your expenses.
Dr. Greer is from Mesa, Arizona and attended Brigham Young University and Creighton University School of Dentistry.
“Initially, I was on a different career path when I felt a strong calling to do something with my hands in the sciences. Shortly thereafter, I had my yearly dental exam; that’s when I knew that being a dentist was what I was called to do. It’s been beyond rewarding to feel needed, challenged and successful. I couldn’t do what I do without my amazing team.”
When Dr. Greer isn’t being a Rockstar dentist or serenading his patients with song, he can be found alongside his wife and five kiddos. He enjoys mountain biking, surfing, playing pickleball with his wife and sons, and enjoying family performances where everyone takes a turn in the spotlight.
Dr. Howard is from Bellevue, Washington and studied dentistry at Roseman University of Health Sciences. His natural curiosity for science and being drawn to people made it easy for his wife to see that he would make a great dentist.
“I’m so grateful to her for opening this door because I love dentistry, every facet of it intrigues me.”
When Dr. Howard isn’t providing stellar care to his patients, he likes to spend his spare time with his beautiful wife and three kiddos.
“Family is most important to me, and I would be honored to help you and your family with all your dentistry needs!”
Dr. Stoker is from West Richland, Washington and graduated from the University of Washington. He began his journey into dentistry as a Dental Assistant, where he discovered the joy and satisfaction of being part of a patient’s oral health transformation. Having a big heart for serving others and helping with community outreach programs also made becoming a Dentist an easy choice.
“Dentistry allows me to balance family life while still helping the community, which lines up with my core values.”
In his free time, Dr. Stoker enjoys competitively playing board games with his wife, performing hip-hop dance parties with his kiddos, and enjoying the outdoors with his family.
