Call (253) 851-4025Key Center is the middle of the Key Peninsula — the crossroads with the library and the shops, with Vaughn, Home, Lakebay and Longbranch spread around it. There is essentially one road that matters for getting off the peninsula, and it comes out at Purdy, where we are.
North up the Key Peninsula Highway to SR-302, east past Wauna, across the sand spit and over the Purdy Bridge: roughly ten miles and you have arrived. Many Key Peninsula teenagers already do most of that trip every school day, because Peninsula High School sits right beside our office.
Which has a practical upshot. When a filling comes out, you are not driving into Tacoma, crossing the Narrows and paying a toll for the privilege. Everyday dentistry stays on this side of the bridge, including night guards for grinding and custom sports guards for whatever the kids play.
We are open Monday to Thursday and closed Friday. Call (253) 851-4025.

We understand that our patients aren't all the same, and we have great news: You can experience dental treatment in comfort with nitrous oxide commonly called laughing gas.
ClearCorrect Clear Aligners Instead of Metal Braces
ClearCorrect straightens teeth with a series of clear, removable aligners instead of brackets and wires. It is used for crowding, gaps, and teeth that have drifted since childhood braces. The aligners come out to eat and to brush. An exam and X-rays tell you whether aligners can do what your teeth need.

Not many years ago, losing a tooth left you with few options for replacement. While permanent teeth should provide a lifetime of function, it doesn't always end up that way. They may be lost from an accident, deep cavities, or gum disease. And since teeth start as a full set, even one missing tooth may disrupt the complex function of chewing, the first step in digestion. As teeth slowly lean and migrate into extra spaces, wear and cracking from excessive forces often create escalating problems.
Tooth Removal with Bone Grafting to Support an Implant
While we focus on helping you maintain your teeth for a lifetime, sometimes certain teeth need to be removed. Wisdom teeth, extra teeth, or very crowded teeth present situations that may mean treatment involving removal. In some cases, severely decayed or cracked teeth, or those missing large amounts of supporting bone leave extraction as the only viable option.
