Beach, mountains, or staycation?
The beach—without question. There’s something about the sound of the waves and the wide-open space that instantly brings a sense of calm. Whether it’s a quiet walk along the shore or watching the sunset, it’s where I can truly slow down, reflect, and feel at peace.

Advice for patients who feel nervous about the dentist
It’s completely normal to feel anxious, and we’re here to support you—never to judge. I always encourage patients to be open about how they’re feeling so we can tailor the experience to their comfort. We’ll take things at your pace, explain each step, and make sure you feel in control. Simple things like focusing on your breathing or listening to your favorite music can make a big difference. Our goal is to create a calm, stress-free visit every time.

My hidden talent

I have a natural ability to create a calm, supportive environment for others—whether that’s through reassurance, thoughtful advice, or even cooking a comforting meal.

Introvert or extrovert?
I’d consider myself an ambivert. I genuinely enjoy connecting with people and being part of a team, but I also value quiet time to recharge and reset.

A moment in my career I’ll never forget
I once helped a patient who came in feeling extremely nervous and visibly shaken. I took a few extra moments to reassure her and walk her through what to expect. After her appointment, she returned just to thank me for helping her feel at ease. That experience really stayed with me—it reinforced how meaningful even small moments of compassion can be, and how much the front desk experience shapes a patient’s entire visit.

Outside of the office
They’d likely describe me as calm, reliable, and easy to work with. I stay composed during busy times, keep things organized at the front desk, and always step in to help where needed. Most importantly, I strive to treat every patient with patience and kindness—no matter how hectic the day may be.

The Proof is in Our Patients

Iman Sheikh
Dr. Spal is an extraordinary healthcare provider. I recommend her. She's kind, considerate, and present. I had my first appointment and she checked in with me throughout my dental work, she worked in small breaks, Dr. Spal did not rush me and we still finished early.
Barry
Very good first visit with Dr Spal today. Explained what she was doing, got me out quickly, and everything was painless (although the work was fairly minor in nature). Very happy, certainly would recommend.
Becky Perfect
I was a little nervous about going to a new dentist after 20 years and I've been very happy with Dr.. Spal. She's great about letting you know exactly what she's doing with each step. Also, a big hour out to Diane!
Chris Klindt
From cleanings to more acute procedures the staff and Dr. Spal have carried themselves with integrity and true empathy and care. I recommend Dr. Spal’s practice to everyone and even have my immediate family now attending for all oral hygiene related procedures and care.
Sherman Madden
Dr. Spal and her staff are not just excellent at dental care, they are just as impressive with their people skills - a rarity in today's world. Dr. Spal is great at letting you know what task she's about to perform which puts me/you at ease. I strongly recommend their services. You'll be glad you did!
