About
Meet Dr. Nikki Crislip.
Good visits today. Healthy habits for life.
Dr. Nikki has wanted to be a pediatric dentist since grade school. She believes positive experiences when you're young shape how you feel about your health for life, so she makes every visit a good one.
She started her career on a dental bus, caring for kids at elementary, middle and high schools in her home county. She has a special interest in oral surgery and restorative dentistry, and she's always learning new skills.
