Mr Neal Buffington, D.D.S.

I found my way to lovely Columbia Falls somewhat by chance, after high school when I spent a year playing junior hockey for the then Great Falls Americans, which was my introduction to the Big Sky state. While traveling with the team I had the pleasure of exploring this vast state, one place in particular that made a lasting impression on me was the Flathead Valley. As I attended college and graduate school at Colorado State University, then dental school at Creighton University, I made several more trips to the valley. I was attracted by its open space, endless activities and pace of life. From then I began somewhat wishfully thinking of making it my home. That opportunity arose when I found a practice for sale in Columbia Falls and it seemed like it would be a good fit. Now I have the pleasure to live and practice in this wonderful valley. At my practice I believe in forming lasting relationships with my patients through communication, education and service. I believe it is important to develop a mutual trust, which is achieved by communication and addressing a patients wants and needs. Optimal oral health does not have to be difficult or complicated, but it does help improve overall health and ones quality of life. We are looking forward to meeting you and to welcome you at Buffington Dental.
