WHY DR. HUFFMAN PRACTICES ALONE: Because continuity of care matters! Whether you just need routine exams or a full-mouth restoration, Dr. Huffman wants to be the dentist you see every time you need dental care.

His goal is to know each of his patients personally and understand their needs, preferences, and how to make them feel comfortable receiving dental care.

Another reason he practices alone is that it is very difficult to control quality and fulfill promises about the care you will receive when utilizing associate dentists. Each dentist has different skills and approaches. Most practices that utilize associate dentists are looking to maximize profits through volume by employing associates with minimal experience.

"I feel loyal to patients that have placed their trust in me and invested in treatment."

Real Google Review

I have had everything from cleanings and fillings to root canals and implants. Every experience has been a positive one, no kidding. I don’t have insurance so I use their membership plan to get cleanings and exams and discounts on the rest. Dr. Huffman and his staff make going to the dentist an stress-free experience. They get to know their patience and truly care about their health. They have helped me to make important decisions about necessary and optional procedures, explained my options and costs, and made sure I was comfortable with my choices. I have recommended his office to several friends and family, and they have all had the same positive experience as me you won’t regret making BDS your family dentist!”

WHY DR. HUFFMAN LOVES HIS TEAM: Because they share his passion for quality, gentleness, and professionalism.

HOW DR. HUFFMAN CREATES THE BEST PATIENT EXPERIENCE:

  • Personalizing the care and experience to each individual patient
  • Partnering with a dynamic team of professionals who stay at the forefront of dentistry
  • Caring for the whole person—not just their mouth
  • Intentionally designing every detail that shapes each appointment

WHY SMILE MAKEOVERS / FULL-MOUTH RECONSTRUCTIONS MEAN SO MUCH TO DR. HUFFMAN:
Smile makeovers and full-mouth reconstruction are among the most fulfilling parts of Dr. Huffman’s work. His passion comes from helping patients achieve more than beautiful teeth: the comfort to enjoy a meal, the confidence to smile freely, and a healthier foundation for the years ahead.

He takes time to understand what matters to you: how you want your smile to look, how you want it to feel, and the concerns you want addressed. Those goals give the work its personal meaning, whether treatment involves crowns, implants, or a combination of procedures.

What he finds most rewarding is seeing that care transforming your everyday life: a patient laughing freely, enjoying a meal in company, speaking with poise, or stepping into a photograph with confidence. Helping someone feel more like themselves is what makes this work so fulfilling.

OUTSIDE OF THE OFFICE: Dr. Huffman enjoys spending time with his wife and children, often outdoors hunting, fishing or hiking. He is also an animal lover and an avid sports fan.

HIS BEST ADVICE FOR PATIENTS
“Keep up with your dental hygiene – It’s easier to maintain your dental health than get treatment.”

“Be discerning about your dental care. It is difficult for consumers to differentiate between good and poor quality care.”
