I can hardly believe it’s 2019 already! New Year’s Resolutions get kind of a bad rap sometimes, but I’m going to come out and say I’m a fan. There is something empowering about giving yourself a pass for moments when we didn’t quite live up to our best, and start fresh with new goals in […]

Every year, we have a few great recommendations to keep your loved ones smiling at the holidays. There are a few new contenders this year, so we wanted to give you a comparison between our favorites and our not-so-favorites.

                Big news at Lake Baldwin Dental! We are overjoyed to announce that we have added a third Associate to our practice, and would like to take this opportunity to welcome Dr. Huy Tran to our team!                 Dr. Tran adds yet another Gator to the LBD family, […]
