Three dentists, one team, and most of Abilene’s dentistry in one building.
Dr. Susan Payne and Dr. Traci King built this practice around a simple idea: a patient should not need three different offices to finish one treatment plan. Dr. Tippett joined them as an associate, and the front office and hygiene team have been here long enough that most patients know them by name.
Our doctors
The same faces at the front desk and in the chair.
Every treatment plan written in this office is written by one of these three dentists.

Come meet the team.
New patients are welcome, and the first visit is an exam and a conversation — nothing gets scheduled until you have seen the plan.
