We started in dentistry a long time ago:

We blend 40 years of experience-based wisdom with cutting edge techniques to provide the kind of care we'd give our mom's. In 1979, fresh out of the University of Washington Dental school, Dr. Kim Nordberg, DDS, (hyperlink to bio) opened his Puyallup, WA dental office just off the Highway 512 at Canyon Road. From the very beginning, he set out to create a different kind of dental office; one where patients could reliably depend on three critical virtues at every visit:

Quality Workmanship

Good dentistry is far more than head-knowledge. Excellent care requires gentle, well-trained hands with a strong artistic gift. Our patients depend on it, and we continually train to provide that kind of high-level treatment.

Trustworthy Service

We don’t push expensive or unnecessary treatment plans. Instead, we address your most critical needs first, letting you choose the direction and extent of your dental treatment. After all, your smile belongs to you!

Genuine Caring

After so many years in practice, Dr. Nordberg now treats the children and grandchildren of his original patients. He considers his patients and staff his most treasured friends. Dentistry is personal for Dr. Nordberg. That may be why so many of our staff have been with us for so long.

After twenty-five years in practice, Dr. Kim’s youngest son, Dr. Peder Nordberg, DDS joined his father in the practice. Peder didn’t need training in these core practice values; they were built into his childhood! A graduate of Loma Linda University Dental School, Dr. Peder brings the latest in dental technology and advanced treatment techniques to our patients. Together, Dr. Kim and Dr. Peder continue to provide great care to their south sound patients.

Dr Peder you were right! My random nerve pain in my tooth finally calmed down after 1 month! Yay! Thank you for not deferring to do a root canal! I appreciate your expertise and smart diagnostic skills!
