Services
Dental Implants
Dental implants provide permanent solutions for missing teeth through surgically placed artificial roots. Our partnered specialists ensure secure, natural-looking results that preserve jawbone health and restore chewing function. Ideal for single or multiple tooth replacements, implants offer long-term durability compared to traditional dentures.
Root Canal Therapy
This procedure saves infected teeth by removing inflamed pulp and sealing the root canal system. Our dentists use advanced techniques to alleviate pain and prevent extraction, with crown placement often recommended for structural reinforcement. Timely intervention preserves natural tooth integrity and oral health.
Dentures
Custom-fitted dentures restore function and aesthetics for missing teeth through removable prosthetics. Our partnership with The Denture Center ensures precise fitting for complete or partial tooth loss, including implant-supported options that eliminate adhesives while improving stability during daily activities.
Sedation Dentistry
We offer oral sedation, nitrous oxide, and hospital sedation to ease dental anxiety during procedures. This ensures patient comfort for complex treatments or individuals with sensitive gag reflexes, creating positive experiences while maintaining safety through monitored administration.
Restorative Dentistry
Restorative services like fillings, crowns, and bridges repair damaged teeth while preventing further decay. Using tooth-colored materials and precision techniques, we restore functionality and aesthetics, addressing issues from cavities to missing teeth through durable, natural-looking solutions.

They have been my sole dental care provider for over 30 years. They are always friendly and have always done a thorough professional job with no unnecessary procedures. Thanks to them (and good genes!) I have not had a cavity in 41 years.

Leaving this review as a request from my parents. They have been patients at Grand West Dental for the past 30 years. They absolutely love it here. Everyone is so great. From the helpful welcoming staff, to the friendly assistants and hygienists, to the caring and knowledgeable dentists. I was a patient here as well until I moved away. My parents and I would recommend this office to anyone! Keep up the great work!

Horrible group, couldn't even fill a cavity correctly. I asked for a refund since it would cost the same to fill my cavity correctly, nothing. Dr. Amanda Harrison should be ashamed of herself. Such horrible work. I went to another dentist place and I had my teeth fixed up cleanly, no mistakes. They asked who filled my cavity and I told them. They were shocked. My cavity was filled so bad they had to ask!

I wish I could write a 0 star for this horrible dentist group. Dr. Miez was the only good dentist here. Unfortunately he relocated(smart). Went to fill a cavity and Dr. Amanda Hariss filled it wrong. Do not go here. Lighthouse dentist or any other dentist group(probably) is much better. My cavity was filled wrong and needs reworking. Not a good place. They use old dental tools as well(to save money and this also means you have a risk of STDs.) Most of the staff are very nice, however the most important is the dentist and unfortunately since the only good dentist left, it's not advisable to go to
