A Dentist in Gig Harbor Transforming Lives Into Healthy Ones
Dr. Kim Rioux looks beyond traditional dental care.
Many dentists offer “cosmetic dentistry.” Dr. Kim Rioux reaches deeper, into fully maximizing our genetic potential to be the best possible version of ourselves: healthy, happy, and beautiful.
Our perception and preference for beauty is not some superficial diversion; it hearkens to a deeper, biological ability to instantaneously assess health, vitality, and all the things that afford us the ability to live life to its fullest.
This philosophy has inspired Dr. Rioux to take an extensive amount of advanced dental education. Using this training, she performs a thorough comprehensive exam, enabling you to achieve a beautiful, functional smile while getting healthy. Her expertise includes:

A Gig Harbor Dentist Who Goes Beyond the Phrase "Cosmetic Dentistry"
Having never really identified with the term “cosmetic dentistry,” the motivation of which is rarely to improve health on any level, we prefer “Esthetic Dentistry.”
Cosmetic is defined as done or made for the sake of appearance and is synonymous with superficial, surface, and exterior.
Cosmetic dentistry is often performed without regard to its consequences to overall health, often sacrificing healthy tooth structure along the way.
Esthetic Dentistry takes into account the whole system, the whole person, and creates or enhances health and beauty. The premise is without health, true beauty cannot be attained.
It is necessary to respect and support the whole system, the entire person, rather than focus on one small problem or imperfection.
If an esthetic problem is a small one, then the solution should be non-invasive and follow the Hippocratic paradigm of “first do no harm.”
Removing healthy, stable tooth structure falls counter to the Hippocratic Oath.
This is why we work hard to provide the most cutting-edge options for beautiful, esthetic dentistry WITHOUT the removal of healthy tooth structure.
At Harbor Hill Dentistry, many of our restorative and esthetic options actually ADD strength to the tooth structure, rather than removing tooth structure which ultimately weakens the tooth.

Going great lengths to improve your health AND beauty.
This often involves discussing how big broad smiles actually support and create health by allowing for an ideal airway getting back to that most fundamental element of health: Breathing.
We incorporate an assessment of airway, TMJ, and overall health into each and every new patient exam. We know that it is as vital to the care of our patients as is assessing all other aspects of oral health more commonly associated with regular dental care.
