Teeth that work as well as they look — from a dentist who spent ten years as a master dental technician before he ever treated a patient, and who still checks every restoration with a craftsman's eye.
A Different Standard
Dentistry that treats you like family —
and your smile like a work of art.
At Arbor Dental Associates, you’re part of a family. Dr. Christopher J. Paulson and Dr. Cynthia Sitchon blend leading-edge technique with genuinely personal treatment planning — a supportive, unhurried environment where you are cared for with respect and compassion.
The practice is built on prevention, a holistic approach, and minimally-invasive solutions: preserving what is healthy, restoring what isn’t, and designing smiles that last a lifetime.

The Doctors
Most dentists send their lab work out and hope. Dr. Paulson spent ten years as the craftsman on the other side — building crowns, bridges, and implant restorations by hand before he ever picked up a drill.
Christopher J. Paulson, DDS
Craftsman · LOCATOR FIXED® & Implant Restorations
A master dental technician before dental school and nearly twenty years in practice since, Dr. Paulson brings a rare, laboratory-trained eye to every restoration — identifying and correcting problems with minimally-invasive techniques and an emphasis on results that last. His focus is LOCATOR FIXED® permanent teeth — implant-secured teeth that stay in, restored with a technician’s precision.
Cynthia Sitchon, DDS
