What Sets Us Apart?

Quality Dentistry is Timeless

Dr. James E. Shelton, Dr. Katie Peterschmidt, and the Glen Creek Dental team do more than fix teeth and enhance smiles. We care about you as a person and want only the best for you.

We’ve been honored to serve our Salem-area friends and neighbors since 1999, with the practice growing through referrals. Patients tell us they appreciate our thorough, compassionate approach to dental care, and how we make them feel like the only patient during visits.

We are committed to providing you and your family with the most advanced care, in a welcoming and safe atmosphere. Not only do we want you to achieve and maintain your most attractive, beautiful smile, we want you to enjoy your time with us!

Why Choose Glen Creek Dental?

  • Communication. Our practice is founded on the belief that the happiest patients, and strongest results, start with understanding what you want and what you need. We will learn your dental goals and concerns and then Dr. Shelton and Dr. Peterschmidt will create your treatment plan that addresses all your needs and respects your concerns. Your care will be comfortable, timely, and have you smiling!
  • Comfort. Our office feels like a spa where you’ll immediately feel welcome and able to relax. From our water feature to natural light and art that features local artists, we’ve developed an inviting space. Our reception area has a special kids’ corner and complimentary coffee, tea, and water. Our treatment areas and operatories feature comfortable and supportive chairs, and warm blankets are available at your request.
