About the Practice:
We are a private, independently owned practice serving Carson City since 2015. We’re proud to be a top-recommended local moms' Facebook group office and have built our reputation on being honest, approachable, and of high quality. Our team of self-sufficient hygienists and upbeat front office staff creates a seamless experience from the first call to the final handshake.

We don’t believe in micromanaging or corporate red tape. You’ll be given autonomy, support, and the chance to grow. Dr. Kiggins is available for mentorship and will meet regularly with you to review cases and treatment plans, providing structure without being overbearing.

Kiggins Family Dentistry is built on trust, gratitude, and mutual respect. Our team isn’t just here to clock in; we care about creating a place where patients and providers feel valued and respected.

Here’s what you can expect:

• Supportive Atmosphere: We recognize each other’s contributions and celebrate small wins.
   
• Mutual Respect: Everyone, including doctors, hygienists, assistants, and administrative staff, is treated with equal importance and respect.
   
• Low ego, High Standards: We expect great work, but we never let status get in the way of kindness. Be just as willing to do a patient handoff as you are to do a crown and bridge.
   
• Patient-Centered Approach: We take the time to guide conversations with empathy and honesty.
   
• Lifelong Learning: Whether clinical skills or better communication, growth is part of our DNA. We continually invest in our improvement.

You’ll be part of a culture where people say thank you, help each other out, and share a laugh or two over a dad joke between patients. We believe in coaching over criticism and in working together to improve. Our team members stay for years, not because they have to, but because they want to.
