Steven Markham, DDS
Dentist
"I Love My Job! I have the best team in Yucaipa, one thing you will notice when you come see us is we are always enjoying ourselves. I was born missing two of my front teeth so when people tell me they aren't in love with their smile....I understand. I had trauma to my face multiple times as a kid so all of my upper front teeth have been through root canal therapy. I went through two phases of orthodontic treatment as a young man and went through a third phase after dental school so I could have dental implants placed and remove the bridges that I wore in the front for years. I have spent countless hours in the dental chair in my life so I feel qualified to be empathetic to my patients who are going through extensive treatment. We are willing to do whatever it takes to make our patients comfortable in the chair, whether it is watching Netflix, listening to music, anti-anxiety medication, Nitrous Gas, etc.
