Our Story
Dentistry you can follow along with
Helix Dental is a general dental practice in Grand Island, Nebraska. Dr. Salma Mahmoud started it because she wanted patients to see what their dentist sees: the X-ray, the scan, the tool and what each one is for.
Three general dentists share the practice. Each has an area of focus, and when a case needs different training, the dentist says so and refers you to someone who has it.
We see adults and children. You get a plan and a written estimate before treatment, and time to ask questions before you decide.
Digital Scans
Your dentist scans your teeth instead of using putty, then shows you the result on the screen.
Comfort First
We numb the area before we start, and you can ask for a break at any point.
General Dentists
When a case needs a dentist with more training, yours says so and refers you.
Early and Saturday Hours
Visits start at 7:30 a.m. on weekdays, and the office is open on Saturday morning.
