Steveston Smiles

Let’s be honest — the dentist isn’t on most adults’, let alone children’s, top list of fun places to visit. If thinking about the dentist conjures up images of painful drills and relentless grinding, then you will be pleasantly surprised by Steveston Smiles. With Drs. Doug and Michele Nielsen it’s all about comfort, friendliness and all-encompassing services. Doug opened his practice in 1973 and has since seen his practice grow exponentially with many second or third generation patients that he’s come to know as friends.Besides all of the services and treatments you expect from a dentist, this award-winning father and daughter team were one of the first local dental offices to offer a service that at the time was rather revolutionary for dentists. While you are sitting in Michele’s chair, you can get “Botoxed.” Michele can relax wrinkle-causing muscles on the forehead, frown lines and crow’s feet, creating a smooth and natural look. Many patients love the idea that they can have their teeth cleaned and faces rejuvenated at the same time.

“As dentists, we really understand the facial anatomy and muscles … it really made sense for me to inject Botox,” adds Michele.
