Rachel Jensen, DMD:
One of the best parts of my job is seeing a patient begin the appointment with dental anxiety and leave with a smile on his/her face.

About Dr. Jensen
As a child I always loved going to the dentist, and I was curious to learn about the practice of Dentistry. Through my Orthodontic treatment, I was able to see firsthand how dentistry transforms smiles and increases self-confidence. My goal is to improve smiles and change lives, the way that mine was forever changed. I also realize that dental anxiety is a strong hurdle for a lot of people, and I strive to make my patients feel as comfortable as possible, so that they too can benefit from dentistry. I believe in teaching the importance of prevention and good oral care at a young age. I do my best to give my pediatric patients the wonderful experience that I had as a young dental patient, in hopes to minimize dental anxiety for their future.
