We believe that our relationship with you must begin by understanding you as a whole. Knowing your dental history, medical needs, and specific concerns about dentistry like anxiety or fear, helps us provide the best care possible.
We offer gentle Microscope Enhanced Comprehensive and Preventative Dentistry, as well as full Aesthetic and Restorative dental services at our Gig Harbor Dentistry.

“My children and I see Dr. Hansen for our dental care and could not be happier. Dr. Hansen and her staff are great with my young children. They are kind and gentle and my children never complain when they have to go to the dentist. My son especially loves the hidden treasure chest. We have never waited very long to get into our appointment and we are always greeted with a beautiful smile.”
