Happy Team Members = Healthy Smiles, Happy Patients.

Your smile is the first thing people notice when they meet you. A healthy, white smile leaves a lasting impression. Here at Finger Lakes Dental Care, we want to help you achieve that great first impression by helping you attain that healthy smile. One thing that separates us from other dental offices is our emphasis on educating our patients about their treatment options and oral health issues. Whether you are interested in cosmetic dentistry or in need of a restorative treatment, a consultation with one of our highly trained dentists provides you the opportunity to ask questions, get all of your treatment options and to discuss how you feel about your smile and the desired outcome.


Our Dental team is constantly growing personally and professionally.  Come join the Finger Lakes Dental Care Family!!
