I love this clinic! The reception staff are so professional, polite and friendly. Dr. Steve has very good bedside manner, makes you feel informed and supported when deciding a course of action for your teeth. He is a very great dentist! Can't say enough! 🦷
Selkirk Dental is very welcoming office. The front end staff are kind and courteous. Dr Mike is professional, knowledgeable and very punctual. I highly recommend this clinic.
I've only had good experiences coming here. I've always been scared of going to the dentist, but I no longer fear my next appointment and feel that it's a judgment free space. I recently got work done under sedation while the office was getting sedation certified. Everything went great and everyone involved was super understanding and patient with my initial anxiety. I highly recommend this office, and Dr schadinger specifically, especially if you have anxiety towards dental clinics.
Selkirk Dental Clinic has a super experienced and friendly team. It is a pleasure to be cared for by them. Dental procedures that required going out of town in the past, are performed right here. That is such a convenience. Thank you for your great service and lovely smiles you have given me for almost 50 years.🦷😊

Book Your ConsultationA gum graft is a surgical procedure that restores receding or lost gum tissue. When gums pull away from teeth — caused by gum disease, genetics, aggressive brushing, or trauma — tooth roots can become exposed, leading to sensitivity, decay, and even tooth loss.
During a gum graft, healthy tissue is carefully placed over the exposed area to protect the root, reduce sensitivity, and prevent further damage. The result is stronger, healthier gums and a more comfortable, confident smile.
