Early in her career, Dr. Slate made an important discovery. She was having one of herteeth repaired and lo and behold, the injection didn’t hurt. The dentist who treated herthat day inspired Kelli Slate to provide the same skillful and compassionate care for herown patients. “I thought that would be a wonderful thing to do for people who shared myfear,” she says.For Dr. Slate and her staff, the words “comfort” and “dentistry” go hand in hand. “Peopleare looking for that extra touch of care and compassion,” says Dr. Slate. “They find it here.”Located in downtown Lakewood in the historic Diener-Mills Building, Dr. Slate’s full-service den-tal practice provides the latest advancements in preventive, restorative, and cosmetic dentistry.A Dallas native, Dr. Slate is as dedicated to giving back to her community as she isto caring for her patients. She offers free dental care to clients of Attitudes and Attire(attitudesandattire.org), a nonprofit agency whose mission is helping economicallychallenged women find jobs and attain self-sufficiency.Dr. Slate and her expert staff provide a warm, friendly, and fun atmosphere that hasinspired a loyal clientele since 1994. As Barbara Paulsen says, “Dr. Slate and the officestaff are the best. I no longer dread going to the dentist!”
