A Familiar Place For Every Smile
Skilled, Personal Dentistry Since 1978
At Bristol Dental Clinic, you and your smile are our first priority. Dr. Laban Bontrager opened our doors in 1978, and Dr. Monica Bontrager joined the practice in 2009, carrying that same tradition of skilled, personal dentistry in a caring, comfortable environment where you'll always be treated like a neighbor, not just a patient. For nearly five decades, our father-daughter team has been a constant in this community, and that continuity means something to the families who walk through our doors.
We believe dentistry works best when your dental team knows you as a person, not just a chart number. That is why we take the time to listen, explain your options in plain language, and make sure you feel confident about every step of your care. Whether you are coming in for a routine cleaning or discussing a bigger treatment plan, you will never feel rushed or talked past.
Our office combines the warmth of a small-town practice with the precision of modern dental technology. From digital x-rays and a digital scanner to an on-site denture lab, we have invested in the tools that help us deliver accurate, comfortable care without sending you across the county. Meet our dentists and see why families throughout Bristol and Liberty County trust us with their smiles.

Small Town, Big Heart
The Only Dental Home In Bristol
As the only dental practice in Bristol and Liberty County, we take our role in this community seriously. Our patients do not have to drive to Tallahassee, Panama City, or Blountstown for quality dental care. Everything from general checkups and cleanings to cosmetic, orthodontic, and restorative treatments is available right here on Main Street, close to home.
We have gotten to know our neighbors on a first-name basis over the years. It is a small-town feeling you cannot fake: we know what is happening in each other's lives, not just what is happening in your mouth. Many of our patients have been coming to us for years, and now they bring their children and grandchildren. That kind of trust is something we work hard to earn every single day.
Our team is close-knit and easygoing, and we love having a good time together on and off the clock. We also speak Spanish in our office, so language is never a barrier to getting the care you need. Whether you are scheduling your first visit or you have been a patient for decades, you will always be welcomed with a familiar face. Come tour our office and see for yourself.

Here For You
Care Built Around Your Comfort
We understand that visiting the dentist is not at the top of everyone's list of favorite things to do. That is exactly why we have built our practice around your comfort. From the moment you walk in, our team is focused on making sure you feel at ease, informed, and genuinely cared for. We explain each step before it happens, answer every question, and never rush through your appointment.
Behind the scenes, our investment in modern dental technology supports that commitment. Digital x-rays reduce radiation and produce instant images. Our digital scanner replaces messy impressions with a quick, comfortable scan. AirFlow polishing delivers a gentler, more thorough cleaning experience. And with an on-site denture lab, patients who need denture work benefit from faster turnaround and a more personalized fit without extra trips to an outside facility.
Whether you are a new patient or you have been coming to see us for years, you will be accepted with open arms. Have more questions about what to expect? Visit our FAQs or reach out to our team directly.
