Dentists at Buhite & Buhite, DDS have over 40 years experience in the area, which makes them a leader in the dental care industry.

All dentists must have the DDS (Doctor of Dental Surgery) degree or a DMD (Doctor of Dental Medicine), which requires a minimum of 4 years of dental school. To become dentists, after college they must get a license from the state which is granted only after a board examination is passed or a residency in dentistry is completed.

We have experienced dentists who can offer you the complete range of dental treatments, plus a staff of equally experienced dental hygiene specialists and our own in-office dental lab. Our experienced dentists, combined with our professional staff means we provide an unparalleled level of dental care and dental services.
