Dr. Navdeep Virk<\/h3>\n

I became a dentist because I\u2019ve always wanted to help people in a meaningful way. Early on, I witnessed how even small smile makeovers could completely change someone\u2019s confidence and quality of life. Seeing that impact firsthand is what motivated me to dedicate my career to helping people achieve not just healthier teeth, but better lives through their smiles.<\/p>\n

I earned my dental degree from India, and then I came to UPenn Dental School and did a couple of years of research there, followed by a postgraduate degree from the University of Michigan in 2001. I am fully licensed to practice in Washington and Arizona, have held a fellowship from the prestigious Las Vegas Institute, have also completed Kois programs and several advanced implant courses, and continually pursue advanced continuing education to stay on the cutting edge of dentistry.<\/p>\n

My approach to dentistry is simple: the patient always comes first. I believe my responsibility is to make sure you fully understand your options \u2014 including treatments you may not even realize are possible \u2014 and to guide you toward the best solution for your long-term health. Sometimes that means treatment in my office, and sometimes it means helping you find the right care elsewhere. What matters most to me is that you receive the treatment that is truly best for you.<\/p>\n

I take pride in being a confident clinician who values honesty, transparency, and quality above all else. Dentistry is an investment, and while it isn\u2019t cheap, I believe that delivering the right treatment \u2014 done the right way \u2014 should never be compromised.<\/p>\n

At the same time, I want my practice to feel nothing like the dental offices people fear. I\u2019m a naturally energetic, upbeat person who genuinely enjoys what I do. I\u2019m always laughing, cracking jokes, and keeping things relaxed because life is too short not to enjoy it \u2014 and yes, that includes dental visits. My goal is for patients to feel comfortable, cared for, and maybe even surprised by how much fun they had along the way.<\/p>\n

The best compliment I can receive is hearing patients say, \u201cI got the best treatment there \u2014 and I actually enjoyed the experience.\u201d That\u2019s the environment I strive to create every single day.

Dr. Gregg Liedtka<\/h3>\n

I am Dr. Gregg Liedtka, DMD. I have been practicing dentistry for twenty years in the Columbia Basin and Spokane, Washington.<\/p>\n

I grew up in Texas, where I attended the University of Texas at Austin to study psychology. I decided on dentistry as a career after working in management for several years following graduation. Going back to school was one of the most challenging things I have ever done, but it allowed me to follow my passion for working with people directly to make a positive impact in their lives. I have always been involved with art, and dentistry, to me, is the ultimate combination of art and science. I love dentistry because I can do my art every day and really connect with my patients.<\/p>\n

I attended Oregon Health & Science University for my dental degree. I ventured into private practice twelve years ago as both a practice owner and an associate dentist after ten years in public health. I focus mainly on surgery and prosthodontics (restoring the architecture of the mouth), but I have worked extensively in pediatrics as well. The greatest moments for me as a dentist are the \u201creveal\u201d appointments, when all the work is done and we hand the patient a mirror. I have seen huge smiles and even a few happy tears, and I can tell you\u2014it does not get old. I wish everyone could have a job like this. The impact you can have on a person by creating a beautiful smile is amazing.
