The two dentists who will be looking after your teeth, and the team around them.
Two dentists see patients at Dentistry For You in Broken Arrow: Dr. Mitch Hoopes and Dr. Steven E. Deem, DDS. Both treat general, cosmetic and restorative dentistry, so most patients can stay with whichever dentist they started with rather than being handed between specialists for routine work.
Dr. Mitch Hoopes
Dr. Hoopes came to dentistry through his father, who practised in Muskogee, Oklahoma. Growing up around a dental office meant he saw the ordinary side of the job early: the same patients coming back year after year, the small fixes that stop big ones, the difference it makes when somebody is not frightened of the chair.
Patients tend to call him Dr. Mitch, and it shows up that way in reviews. He treats the full general range here, from checkups and fillings through crowns, extractions and cosmetic work.
Dr. Steven E. Deem, DDS
Dr. Deem holds a Doctor of Dental Surgery degree and has been treating Broken Arrow patients at this office for years. His work spans the whole general practice: cleanings and exams, fillings and crowns, root canals, extractions, dentures and the cosmetic side, including veneers and whitening.
Patients who come in nervous often end up seeing him for exactly that reason. Several of the reviews on the practice’s Google listing mention being talked through what was happening rather than having it done to them.
The Rest of the Team
The dentists are not the only people you will deal with. Hygienists do most of the cleaning and much of the prevention work, and assistants are in the room for almost every procedure. Patients name them in reviews more often than they name the dentists, which tells you something about who actually sets the tone of a visit.
The front desk handles the part most people find hardest, which is insurance. They will check your benefits before your first appointment and tell you what your plan covers, so the number you hear at the start is the number you pay at the end.

Call the front desk and we will find you a time that works.
If you would rather see one dentist than the other, say so when you book and the front desk will work around it. For an emergency it is better to take the first available appointment, because with a broken tooth or an abscess the speed matters more than the name on the door.
