ABOUT US
In 1968, after serving his country in Vietnam, Dr. Vernon Gaffner returned to Southeast Idaho with new perspective on dentistry, and new appreciation for something most of us have the luxury to take for granted-a simple smile, and the powerful effect it can have on the human psyche, the community around us, and the sentiment of an entire culture.
Precision dentistry should be expected, deserved, and standard. And, although Dr. Gaffner had the credentials and talent to practice anywhere or with any group, he wanted to create a dental experience that was far greater than average. Dr. Gaffner wanted to create a better experience, and a new standard of care that would not only protect the integrity and health of his patients, but would also initiate and stimulate an abundance of smiling faces-the one thing he had struggled so hard to find serving in the world’s harshest realities.
The Center for Cosmetic Dentistry was founded on the notion that smiling is the most powerful human expression. Yet, so often those smiles are buried by embarrassment, self-consciousness, or fear.
One single smile can transform an aura of a room or a community. A smile can ease tension, build self-esteem, express feelings for those around you, and even improve your health.
That’s why we are so fanatic about creating an atmosphere of comfort and providing care that ensures you leave with, at the very least, a grin.
Find Your Smile-the people around you deserve to see it, and you deserve to feel good about it.
The world needs more smiles.
