Dr. Leslie Dickinson
Owner, Dickinson Dental
At Dickinson Dental, I practice cosmetic dentistry and provide a wide range of general dentistry services. I opened Dickinson Dental a decade ago and have created a dental practice that combines state-of-the-art technology and cosmetic concepts with an emphasis toward the highest level of customer service. My passion is to create life-changing dentistry for my patients. I love that first moment when we reveal our patients’ newly transformed smile.
On Power
People often underestimate the power of honesty. I strive to give each patient the best treatment options available. I truly want them to feel comfortable and know that I have their best interests at heart.
I feel most powerful when I was able to start my own business and practice dentistry the way I have always wanted. It was a daunting task, but it allowed me to create my ideal practice that provides both family and high-end cosmetic dentistry. Building a team atmosphere that is enjoyable for my patients, my staff and me is my goal. I think we’re succeeding!
On Motivation
Dentistry provides me the opportunity to be creative and impact patients’ lives in a positive way. I love seeing a patient happy with his or her new smile. My goal is to continue to strive for excellence every day.
I’ll know I am successful when I have found “balance” in my life.
Weekend Schedule
Being a mother of three boys means I don’t sleep in. A typical spring weekend is spent at the baseball or soccer fields. If I’m not being a coach or cheerleader for one of my boys, I love spending time at the lake or visiting with close friends.
The Quiz
- Currenty Reading? I love to read—all kinds of books, from great literature to the latest novel. I truly read for the enjoyment of it. To lose myself, even for a few minutes a day, in a great novel is my one of my favorite things.
- Pets? We have a new addition to the Dickinson household, and it’s a girl! Her name is Bailey, and she is a beautiful, white British Labrador.
