Bright Smiles Start Early! 🦷✨
At 201 Waterfront Dental, we love taking healthy habits beyond our office walls and into the classroom!
Our Dental Hygiene Visits to Schools are all about making oral health fun, engaging, and easy to understand. During our visits, students learn: 🪥 Proper brushing and flossing techniques 🥕 How nutrition affects their teeth 😁 Why regular dental checkups matter 🦷 How to prevent cavities and keep their smiles strong
We believe education is the first step toward a lifetime of healthy smiles. By connecting with students early, we help build confidence, reduce dental anxiety, and encourage positive habits that last for years to come.
Thank you to our schools and families who continue to welcome us into your communities - we’re proud to support the next generation of bright, healthy smiles! 🌟
Interested in scheduling a visit for your school? We’d love to connect!

Learning never stops around here! 🧠💙
Dr. Gerard, Jenny, and Bella were in Las Vegas this past weekend for the Breathe and Thrive Symposium put on by the American Laser Symposium! Along with soaking up some sun, they learned from all the top providers in the fields of tethered oral tissues, lactation support, myofunctional therapy, and airway health all with the intention of bettering the lives of so many of our patients.
We love seeing our team invest in growth, bring back new ideas, and continue raising the bar for the care we provide. When our team learns, our patients win. 🌬️✨

Last weekend, we celebrated a true legend. 💙

Dr. Bender’s retirement party was filled with gratitude, laughter, and so many meaningful moments as we honored 38 years of dedication, compassion, and exceptional dentistry. From caring for generations of families to mentoring colleagues and shaping the heart of our practice, his impact is simply immeasurable.

The room was full of stories, smiles, and love—perfectly reflecting the community Dr. Bender helped build. While we’ll miss seeing him in the office, we are so grateful for the legacy he leaves behind and excited for all that lies ahead in this next chapter.

Congratulations, Dr. Bender, and thank you for everything. You will always be part of the 201 Waterfront Dental family. 🤍

This OMT appointment was pure magic ✨👑
We had the sweetest visitor at 201 Waterfront Dental this week! Our little patient showed up to her OMT appointment dressed as Princess Anna, and who better to greet her than our very own Princess Jess 💙❄️
Smiles, confidence, and a little fairytale fun make even dental appointments something to look forward to. Moments like these are why we love what we do—helping kids feel comfortable, celebrated, and brave every step of the way.
👑💫 Thank you for bringing the magic to our office for the day Princess Anna!

As we head into Dr. Bender’s final week at 201 Waterfront Dental, we’re feeling all the emotions. 💙
Last week, he saw his final baby patient—a moment that perfectly captured the heart of his career. Dr. Bender found a passion for caring for the tiniest members of our community with exceptional skill, gentleness, and compassion. Countless babies, parents, and families have been impacted not just here in Jefferson County, but far beyond our walls.
From easing worried parents to giving babies the best possible start, his work has created ripples that will be felt for generations. Many of the babies he helped continue to walk through our doors and we get the joy of seeing them grow into thriving adolecents—a true testament to the trust he built and the legacy he leaves behind.
This week, we celebrate a career well lived, lives well changed, and a community forever better because of Dr. Bender. Thank you for everything, Dr. Bender. 💙🦷
