About us  

Welcome to one of the most exciting dental practice locations in Prescott, Arizona. Combining high-tech general dentistry, and a philosophy of minimally invasive care in a compassionate, friendly environment, our new \\\"Dental Fitness Center\\\" may be the office you\\\'ve always looked for.

Dr. J.C. Goodwin\'s unique combination of experience, technology and philosophy position him to be able to provide you with one of the most comprehensive dental health and dentist treatment opportunities available. Same-day bonded ceramic crowns offer beauty, durability and convenience.

These are just some of the many techniques available to help you improve your health and comfort, your appearance and function. We would be pleased to share more with you at any time.

Dr. J.C. Goodwin is an Arizona native with family in the southwest since the 1870\\\'s.  He credits his pioneer legacy as having helped him develop a strong sense of family and community which is evident in his volunteer work with the Kiwanis for over twenty years and in the care he delivers in his practice as well.

A 1984 graduate of the University Of Alabama School Of Dentistry, he has a diverse professional background including three years of public health dentistry on the Navajo reservation and has been in private practice in Prescott, AZ since 1987.  He organized the first professional study club in Prescott and participated for twelve years.  Besides advanced training in comprehensive dental rehabilitation, bonded ceramic restorations, conservative cast gold restorations, cosmetic dentistry, Dr. Goodwin has advanced training in laser surgery and holds fellowship status with the World Congress of Minimally Invasive Dentistry.  He brought the first dental laser technology to Prescott in 2005.

Having completed many hundreds of laser procedures, his affiliation with the Centers for Dental Medicine and the creation of a \\\"dental wellness\\\" type practice, the first of its kind in northern Arizona, was a natural and inevitable transition.  \\\"I\\\'ve thought for many years that laser technology should be incorporated into the dental hygiene and prevention aspect of my practice as well\\\", he states.

Dr Goodwin is very pleased to now offer his patients a comprehensive, effective, non-surgical gum health treatment protocol including state of the art diagnostic tests and therapy techniques.   His patients will not only have better dental health, but will be healthier systemically as well with lower risk for cardiac disease, diabetes and other concerns.  Dr. Goodwin’s cutting edge approach to patient care proves the pioneer spirit is alive and well in the great southwest.

His passion for innovation has led him to develop and patent a dental instrument used to smooth and finish dental composite (bonding) restorations.  He hopes to have it marketed in 2010, but, you may experience the benefit at your next visit.
