An introduction


Yoder Rahrig Family Dentistry was founded in 1989 with the objective of providing exceptional dental care in a comfortable, friendly environment at a reasonable fee. Our group practice of two dentists work with well-trained, experienced dental hygienists and clinical assistants. Together, we provide an emphasis on preventive dental care, the cornerstone of our treatment philosophy. With our extended office hours and coordination among our staff, we are able to offer flexible scheduling, and the patient always has the option of requesting the treatment provider of their choice. We welcome open, constructive dialogue with our patients to give the best possible dental care.
