Meet the team

The dentist and the people at Mill Creek Family Dental.

Dr. J. Matthew Cronkhite, DDS, has been the dentist here, and a Lafayette resident, since July of 2006.

He deeply appreciates the community and especially the wonderful people in it, and is grateful for the warm welcome he has received since coming here. He greatly enjoys all aspects of dentistry and finds it gratifying to help a variety of people get a healthy, beautiful smile.

Dr. Cronkhite is a good listener, and his straightforward and honest manner gains his patients' trust. He explains the diagnosis, the recommended treatment, and the information and options a patient needs to decide on a course of treatment. He takes seriously the responsibility that comes with the trust patients place in him.

He feels especially honored when patients refer their families, friends and co-workers.
