    Providing dental care that makes people happy and confident in their smile is my favorite aspect of dentistry. It is very rewarding to see the amazing changes that quality dentistry can make in a person’s life. It is my goal to offer all of my patients excellent dental care and to make sure that they feel comfortable and confident with the care they receive. I am committed to furthering my education to make sure that I am always up-to-date with the latest advancements in dentistry.

    I am very happy to work with an amazing group of people who sincerely care about our patients and are committed to doing all they can to provide the best possible dental experience. Each member of my team is friendly and compassionate toward our patients’ needs as well as highly trained in each aspect of patient care.

    Outside of the office I spend most of my time with my wife Sarah and our four wonderful daughters. They keep us very busy with many activities like piano and dance lessons and weekly youth group activities. I am very active with my local church group. When I have free time I love to ski, cycle, or hike.

Testimonials

Our patients say great things about us...

  • "My entire family has used Stanwood Dental Care for two years now, and they truly make our appointments as pleasant as dental visits can be! Everyone is friendly and the front desk is organized and helpful. As a retired military family, we have changed dentists almost a dozen times, and this office is the best!"
    Michael T.
  • "They have the friendliest staff. I hate going to the dentist but they are all so kind and caring and the procedures have been pain free. It's been awesome finding them and their team. I no longer stress about going to see the dentist. Highly recommend them."
    Billie P.
  • "Dr. Magelsen and is crew are the best. They have been taking care of my families dental needs for years and always the latest technology and caring atmosphere."
    John W.
  • "Excellent staff... this was my first appointment and I felt very comfortable with the front office staff, dental hygienist and the doctor. We recently moved into this area and after a bad experience, I feel I have finally found a dental practice that cares about their patients well-being"
    Joe T.
  • "A professional practice that I have been going to for about ten years. They are warm and caring in their provision of care. They give you the options and let you make the decisions. They also continually educated on preventive dental practices. I have complete confidence in their service. I give them five stars."
    Janice T.
  • "My son and I love (if you can love going to the dentist) going here. The hygienists are great: super friendly, straight forward, and do a great job at cleaning and talking about care of our teeth and gums. So, taking care of our teeth makes visits much easier and less work needed. When we have needed work, they are up-front about what needs to be done, explaining the benefits of doing the work vs. NOT fixing the problem, and do an outstanding job at what they do. Not to forget the gals up-front - they are great at scheduling appointments that meet our schedule, getting out reminders, and greeting us with smiles."

The bacteria in plaque convert the sugars in our foods into lactic ...

  • Root Canal Treatment

    Every tooth has two sections: a crown, the visible part of the tooth above the gum line, and one or more roots, which anchor the teeth within the jaw. Each tooth has three basic layers: an outer layer of hard enamel (which protects the crown) or cementum (which covers the root), a middle layer of softer ...

    The bacteria in plaque produce acids that erode tooth enamel, eventually creating a hole, or cavity, in the tooth surface. Left untreated, this decay can spread to the interior of the tooth, and might lead to the need for a crown, a root canal, or even extraction. When caught early, your dentist can ...

    Slightly bigger than a pen, an intraoral camera is an innovative tool that can take up-close pictures of teeth, gums, and other hard-to-reach places in the mouth.
