From page MED23 | 1 Comment

DRS. PELIKS AND PELIKS make a great family team. With two dentists, the husband-and-wife team can make appointments as early as 7 a.m. and as late as 6 p.m. “Our patients come first and we strive to develop long-lasting relationships with all of our patients,” the Pelikses said, adding, “we enjoy getting to know our patients and giving them the highest quality care possible.” The Pelikses have invested in the latest dental technology and also offer clear braces for those needing ortho work. Needless to say, it is a family owned dental practice, one that has been in business for a quarter century. They also do dental implants and bonding to cover up imperfections and enhance a person’s smile. For more information and testimonials visit drpeliks.com. Democrat photo by Shelly Thorene

A dental professional should up to date with new technology. If he uses new methods then he can easily develop long-lasting relationships with their patients. Dr. Gordon Roznik
