About Your Dentist
Jaclyn Ridder, DDS
I absolutely love the daily challenges and rewards of practicing dentistry. I realize a large number of patients have some level of anxiety about dental treatment. My challenge every day is to make my patients feel comfortable throughout the entire process; not just the procedure itself, but also the planning of their treatment. I want my patients to feel involved in the education regarding their oral health and confident about the results we can achieve by working together toward a solution for their dental needs. I get tremendous satisfaction from helping my patients have a positive overall dental experience.
My Mission
My mission as a dentist is to provide the best quality care to my patients in all aspects from the technology used at our office to the clinical techniques we practice daily, and further, to patient education and customer service. As a dentist, I believe every patient should leave my office with renewed confidence in their smile, knowing they have the tools needed to maintain their oral health well into the future.
