There are two G scale trains that run through the office, giving the practice a fun atmosphere. The office building was designed with some of the architecture of the old Springville Train Depot. Dr. Nance is very family oriented, and he and his staff have a lot of fun together. Come meet us and see our practice and become a part of our dental family.
