Alpine Dental
Building a foundation of trust by treating our patients as special individuals is vital to our success. We understand how uneasy some patients may feel about their dental visits, and how we can make a difference in providing a relaxing and positive experience. Our entire team is dedicated to providing you with excellent, personalized care and service to make your visits as comfortable and pleasant as possible.

We thank you for allowing us to take care of your dental needs and look forward to serving you. A standard of excellence in personalized dental care enables us to provide the quality dental services our patients deserve. We provide comprehensive treatment planning and use restorative and cosmetic dentistry to achieve your optimal dental health.
Services
We are family-owned practice run by a father and daughter team. Dr. Ellis grew up at the practice and follows in her father's footsteps to provide exceptional care to all patients. We have a strong interest in systemic health so we focus on identifying any underlying issues that may be interfering with your oral health while correcting visual and functional problems.
From the beginning, I've always had a great appreciation for the up to date technology that our practice offers - intraoral cameras, laser therapy, and digital technology, just to name a few. All of these allow us to better focus on each patient's individual needs. My husband and I moved out to Bozeman from the Chicago suburbs.
If you have several damaged teeth, missing teeth, or gaps, your smile may be taking its toll on your self-confidence and functionality. Dr. J. Steven Smith and Dr. Jennifer Smith Ellis offer custom smile makeovers to help rebuild and enhance patients' smiles. If you're struggling with your self-confidence because of the way your teeth look, let us help you achieve your dream look with a custom smile makeover.
Sometimes we feel that a tooth requires a more conservative treatment than a crown. Inlays and onlays are an option for restoring teeth that have been damaged by tooth decay or have some structural issues that do not require full crown placement. Dr. J. Steven Smith has helped many patients restore their smile with inlays and onlays.
We do everything we can to build a healthy foundation for your teeth but there will be instances where your teeth are compromised. If you have decayed teeth that require a filling as a restoration or missing teeth that require replacement, come to us for crowns and bridge work.

Dr. J. Steven Smith and Dr. Jennifer Smith Ellis perform a variety of tooth restoration procedures at our practice and are here to restore your smile with a custom crown or bridge.These procedures can improve your quality of life and keep you smiling with confidence for years to come. A dental crown is a porcelain cap that sits over the top of the tooth.

I have been going to Alpine Dental for a couple years now and always been happy with cleanings and such. Then, on a Sunday I broke my front tooth! It wasn’t hurting so I left a message with the office. They got back to me with an appointment the next morning. Dr Ellis was able to fix my tooth on the spot and it looks so great you could never tell it was broken!

They had wonderful staff and were very flexible with payments! They really went above and beyond for me, especially being that I haven't been to a dentist in over 6 years! Will only being going back to them from now on 😁

I have been a patient Dr Smith's for over 30 years. I have always been treated with exceptional care and personal attention. They are continuing their unparalleled care with the addition of doctor Jenny and the professionals we can count on for continuing care.

The dental hygienist did a very good job on my teeth. I shared a few concerns with her and when the doctor came in, she decided to share those concerns with him in front of me. I felt uncomfortable--and the doctor probably did too. This is definitely a boundary issue.

Yesterday I had periodontal therapy for bleeding gums. I was dreading it. However, it was an easy experience thanks to Kim's expertise and the numbing gel. No pain and also no pain after the numbing agent wore off.
I have future appointments to finish the treatments, but won't go full of anxiety like I did yesterday.

I have been a patient at Alpine Dental since 2018 and am very pleased. Dr Smith and Dr Ellis provide very thoughtful care to keep my mouth and teeth healthy, without pushing cosmetic procedures that I don't want or need. Kim, the hygienist, is outstanding. She is committed to keeping my teeth and gums healthy, and she guided me through a series of periodontal treatments that immediately improved my gum health and set me on a path to keeping my teeth and gums healthy. Excellent care all around.

As a new patient, a great experience with all staff (front of office, hygienists, and dentists). Communicative, explained things before they did anything, and set a game plan to go forward. 👍👍

My kids had their first ever visit/exams. The hygienist, Kim, was so great with both of them! She made them feel comfortable from the moment she met them in the waiting area. She even had my daughter giggling throughout her entire cleaning! No tears, only smiles! They exceeded my expectations. I am so happy with the customer service and friendliness of the entire staff. Thank you so much for making their first visit beyond successful!

I received the BEST possible care at Alpine. They are very thorough, listen to your needs and are very compassionate and kind. Thresa and Jenny helped me feel at ease every step of the way. I would highly recommend Alpine to everyone! If I could give more than five stars, I surely would. Thank you all so very much.

5 stars isn't enough for these folks. I give them 5 more on top of that. I was in the ER last night with really bad jaw pain, and after a couple of wrong referrals and no's I was pointed in this direction. I called and explained my situation and instead of "no we don't take your insurance" it was "you're in pain, let me talk to Dr. Smith to see if he can maybe recommend some help". 5 minutes later I get a phone call, "can you make it here soon?". I was greeted by kind and friendly faces. Dr. Smith knew very well there was a chance my current insurance
