About Cheek Dental

At Cheek Dental, we believe dentistry should feel personal, thoughtful, and grounded in trust.

From your very first visit, our focus is on understanding you—your goals, your concerns, and how your oral health connects to your overall well-being. Rather than quick fixes, we take a careful, relationship-based approach to help you feel confident in your care today and supported for years to come.

Cheek Dental:
Our Philosophy of Care

At Cheek Dental, our philosophy of care is rooted in respect, relationships, and thoughtful excellence. We believe dentistry is about more than treating teeth—it’s about caring for people, building trust, and creating an experience where patients feel genuinely heard and supported.

We are committed to earning our patients’ trust through integrity, transparency, and accountability. That means taking the time to listen, clearly explaining the “why” behind our recommendations, and honoring each patient’s individual goals. We believe long-term oral health is best achieved through collaboration, education, and mutual respect.

Our team approaches care with optimistic curiosity and clinical intention. We thoughtfully invest in continuing education and advanced technology—not for novelty, but to provide care that is precise, comfortable, and centered on long-term wellness.

Above all, we are driven to deliver excellence in every interaction. From comprehensive treatment planning to the smallest details of a visit, we hold ourselves to the highest standards of care, professionalism, and compassion.

This philosophy guides every decision we make and defines what patients can expect at Cheek Dental: respectful care, thoughtful expertise, and meaningful connections—every step of the way.

Our Vision

By Dr. Kristina Chandler

“Over the past ten years, Cheek Dental has become more than just the place I practice — it has become my home. I’ve grown here alongside an incredible team and a community of patients who have taught me what compassionate, relationship-driven care truly means. When I stepped into ownership, my goal wasn’t to change who we are, but to continue building on the strong foundation that has made this practice so special.

My vision for Cheek Dental is to be a place where people — both patients and team members — feel genuinely cared for, respected, and valued. I want our practice to be known not only for our clinical excellence, but for the warmth, trust, and humanity behind every interaction. I want our team to feel supported and proud of the work we do, to find joy and purpose in serving others, and to know that the effort they put in each day truly matters.

Together, we will continue to grow — as professionals, as individuals, and as a team. We will persevere through challenges, celebrate progress, and uphold the standards that make Cheek Dental exceptional. Guided by our core values — earning respect, embracing every opportunity with courageous optimism, embodying a spirit of collaboration, and being driven to deliver excellence — we will strengthen our reputation as a pillar of dental health and integrity in our community.

This is more than my vision; it’s our shared purpose. To care deeply. To serve wholeheartedly. And to make a lasting difference — one patient, one smile, and one meaningful connection at a time.”
