The Greater Sandpoint Chamber of Commerce welcomes Sandpoint Dental Cosmetics (SDC) Family Dentistry to the Chamber. Dr. Joe Johnson has taken over a more than 30 year old business that was founded by Dr. Osmunson and carried on by Dr. Tom Helvey. After Dr. Helvey decided to go back to school, Dr. Johnson realized a dream could come true.
After joining the US Army at 17 years of age, making the ranks of Special Forces Training and serving as a Special Forces Medic, Dr. Johnson was wounded in combat and released to attend college. His tours took him to Kosovo, Afghanistan, Iraq, and Haiti. He then attended BYU-Idaho for his undergrad, UNC-Chapel Hill for a Masters in Public Health, Still University of Health Sciences for his Doctorates of Dental Medicine (DMD) and the Uniform Service’s University for Forensic Odontology.
Dr. Johnson practices under the same motto as his alma mater “Mind, Body, and Spirit.” This is a Holistic Medicine approach which means the patient cannot be healthy until the mind, body, and spirit are healthy and in harmony. Adopted by Still University of Health and Sciences in 1888 by the creator of Osteopathic Medicine and it is the first and only dental school in the nation to teach this approach.
“Here at SDC Family Dentistry we are as concerned with your emotional and spiritual health as we are in your oral health,” explained, Dr. Johnson. He then commented, “We frequently have patients stop in just to relax in the waiting room and enjoy some complementary coffee and a place to unwind. This accurately describes why I have chosen the motto of ‘Body, Mind, and Spirit.’”
Do not let the word cosmetics in their name turn you away because they perform all aspects of dentistry and simply added cosmetics to their name to signify that everything they do is designed to be undetectable to the eye. They perform regular exams, cleanings and radio graphs and even offer free whitening when you pay for those services. Also, if you get any referral outside of your immediate family to come in for an exam, they will give you a $50 gift card. For the first three months of the New Year, they will be giving free denture stabilization examinations.
The Greater Sandpoint Chamber of Commerce wishes Dr. Johnson and Sandpoint Dental Cosmetics Family Dentistry success in our community and thanks Dr. Johnson for his service to our country. Visit them at their office at 30336 Hwy 200, Suite A. For more information or to book, give Dr. Johnson a call at 208-255-1255 or visit www.sandpointdentalcosmetics.com.
