Our goal is to put smiles on the faces of our patients by helping them achieve healthy, high-functioning teeth and gums, one step at a time. While everyone’s path to dental health is different, we treat each of our patients with the utmost care, concern, and compassion. Below, a few of our patients have shared their story of partnering with Montana Dental Arts to get results and on their path to health and happiness.
Implant Retained Dentures

“It’s the best dental experience I’ve ever had,” Keith said. “Dr. Wilcox was really nice and the dental assistant and the women behind the counter were really attentive to my concerns. I just love going there. Going to the dentist is not on everyone’s bucket list, but the whole crew makes it a very nice experience.
It’s been well worth it since I’ve had my new dentures in,” he said. “I haven’t had a single problem. I don’t understand being ambivalent about getting work done on your mouth. They treat you so well there and I feel so much better. Buck it up and go do it!”

Keith Joiner has spent years as a bus driver for the Hot Springs School District, and each morning and afternoon, he swings open his bus door with a smile at dozens of stops throughout the area. Only recently, though, has he secured a set of teeth that look and feel great.
Keith was fitted for his first full set of dentures in 1996. The dentures, which were anchored on two remaining canines, worked well for many years until his remaining teeth began to decay and his dentures were not fittings as securely or as comfortably as before. Knowing he needed to find a better solution, he scheduled a consultation at Montana Dental Arts and soon had a strategy for action in place. Over the next few months, he had his remaining decaying teeth extracted and replaced with two implants. He was then fitted for implantretained dentures that fit comfortably and snugly in his mouth.
Since getting his new smile, Joiner is able to eat more foods with more comfort and speak with more clarity. He is also able to flash a confident and friendly new smile to everyone on his bus route.
