Mountainside Dental La Quinta has seven doctors in a single office at 78461 CA-111. Patients across the Coachella Valley, from Indian Wells and Palm Desert to Indio and Bermuda Dunes, can see general and cosmetic dentists, a periodontist, a prosthodontist, an orthodontist, and our root canal doctor without driving between separate offices or waiting weeks for outside referrals.
Why Specialists in One Office Matters
Most dental practices employ one or two general dentists who refer patients elsewhere for specialty work. A root canal goes to one office. Gum treatment goes to another. Implants require a third. Each referral means a new intake form, a new set of X-rays, a new waiting room, and a gap in communication between providers.
At our La Quinta office, we have eliminated that fragmentation. Our seven doctors, spanning five dental disciplines, share the same charts, the same imaging systems, and the same hallways. When a patient needs a root canal followed by a crown, the endodontist and the general dentist coordinate the plan together. When a periodontal case requires implants, the periodontist and prosthodontist discuss the approach before treatment begins.
This model reduces delays, prevents miscommunication between providers, and allows us to offer same-day specialist consultations in many cases. For families with children and adults under one roof, it means one location handles everything from pediatric checkups to orthodontics to complex restorative work.
Meet Our La Quinta Dental Team
Each specialist on our team completed additional training beyond dental school in their respective discipline. Here is who you will find at Mountainside Dental La Quinta and what they treat.
The Full Roster
- Dr. Steven M. Wolfram, DDS, General/Cosmetic Dentist
- Dr. Steven Haddad, DDS, General/Cosmetic Dentist
- Dr. Damon Anderson, DDS, General/Cosmetic Dentist
- Dr. Tyler Hendry, DDS, MS, Periodontist
- Dr. Brian Quesnell, Endodontics (root canals)
- Dr. Scott Adishian, DDS, Prosthodontist
- Dr. Morris, DDS, Orthodontist
General and Cosmetic Dentistry
Dr. Steven M. Wolfram, Dr. Steven Haddad, and Dr. Damon Anderson
Our three general dentists handle the full range of preventive and restorative care: exams, cleanings, fillings, cosmetic dentistry, teeth whitening, veneers, and crowns. They are often the first doctors you see at Mountainside Dental, and they coordinate with the specialists on our team when your treatment plan extends beyond general care.
All three also practice cosmetic dentistry, including porcelain veneers, composite bonding, and smile design. If you are looking for both routine dental care and aesthetic improvements, these doctors handle it without a referral.
Preventive Care
Exams, cleanings, digital X-rays, oral cancer screening, and fluoride treatments
Cosmetic Dentistry
Veneers, bonding, whitening, and full smile makeovers
Restorative Work
Fillings, crowns, bridges, and same-day emergency appointments
Periodontics: Gum Disease and Gum Grafting
Dr. Tyler Hendry, DDS, MS, Periodontist
A periodontist specializes in the structures that support your teeth: gums, bone, and the connective tissue between them. Dr. Hendry completed a master’s degree and additional residency training in periodontics beyond dental school.
Gum disease affects roughly half of American adults over 30, according to the CDC. Early-stage gum disease (gingivitis) causes redness and bleeding during brushing. Advanced gum disease (periodontitis) destroys the bone that holds teeth in place, leading to tooth loosening and eventual loss.
Dr. Hendry treats all stages of gum disease with scaling and root planing, pocket reduction surgery, and regenerative procedures. He also performs gum grafting for patients with receding gumlines and places dental implants when teeth cannot be saved. Because Dr. Hendry works alongside our prosthodontist and general dentists in the same office, implant cases move from surgical placement to final restoration without delays between providers.
Endodontics: Root Canals and Tooth Preservation
Dr. Brian Quesnell, Root Canal Care
Endodontics focuses on the interior of the tooth: the pulp, nerves, and root canals. Dr. Quesnell provides root canal care at our La Quinta office.
Root canal therapy removes infected or inflamed tissue from inside a tooth, cleans and shapes the canal system, and seals the space to prevent reinfection. The procedure preserves the natural tooth rather than extracting it.
Having root canal care on-site means patients with severe toothaches or dental infections can often be seen the same week, sometimes the same day. After the root canal, the patient walks down the hall to their general dentist for the final crown. No referral paperwork. No second office.
Prosthodontics: Implants, Dentures, and Full Mouth Reconstruction
Dr. Scott Adishian, DDS, Prosthodontist
A prosthodontist is a specialist in replacing and restoring teeth. Dr. Adishian completed advanced training in prosthodontics, which covers dental implant restorations, implant-supported dentures, full and partial dentures, crowns, bridges, and full mouth reconstruction.
Patients who have lost multiple teeth, suffered dental trauma, or need extensive restorative work benefit from seeing a prosthodontist. Dr. Adishian designs treatment plans that account for bite alignment, jaw function, facial aesthetics, and long-term durability.
Full mouth reconstruction cases illustrate why having specialists under one roof matters. Dr. Adishian works with Dr. Hendry (periodontist) for implant placement, Dr. Quesnell for any root canals needed before crowns, and Dr. Morris (orthodontist) if teeth need repositioning before restoration. These conversations happen in person, over shared imaging, with all providers reading from the same chart.
Orthodontics: Invisalign and Braces
Dr. Morris, DDS, Orthodontist
An orthodontist specializes in correcting tooth alignment and bite problems. Dr. Morris provides both traditional braces and Invisalign clear aligners for teens and adults at our La Quinta location.
Orthodontic treatment addresses crowded teeth, gaps, overbites, underbites, crossbites, and other alignment issues. Straight teeth are easier to clean, reduce the risk of gum disease and decay, and distribute chewing forces more evenly across the jaw.
Dr. Morris works closely with the rest of the team when orthodontics is part of a larger treatment plan. Patients who need braces before implant placement, or who need gum treatment during orthodontic care, stay within our office for every step.
“Lovely office – all staff were extremely welcoming, efficient and capable. This was my first visit coming from another dental office and I was very impressed. Small enough to offer personal service but large enough to have specialists on staff. I will be back!”

How Coordinated Care Works in Practice
A single dental problem often crosses specialty lines. Consider a few scenarios that our team handles regularly:
- A patient with gum disease and a cracked molar: Dr. Hendry (periodontist) treats the gum infection first. Dr. Quesnell performs the root canal on the cracked tooth. The general dentist places the final crown. Three doctors, one office, one coordinated plan.
- A teenager finishing braces who needs wisdom teeth evaluated: Dr. Morris (orthodontist) completes the orthodontic treatment. The general dentist evaluates the wisdom teeth and handles extraction if needed, all in the same location.
- An older adult needing full mouth reconstruction: Dr. Adishian (prosthodontist) designs the overall plan. Dr. Hendry places the implants. Dr. Quesnell saves any teeth that can be preserved with root canals. The work proceeds in stages with all providers aligned.
- A family with a child, a teen in braces, and a parent needing implants: A general dentist sees the child. Dr. Morris manages the teen’s orthodontics. The parent sees Dr. Adishian and Dr. Hendry for implant work. One office, one schedule, one morning.
In a traditional referral model, each of these scenarios would require two to four separate offices, separate intake processes, and separate billing. At Mountainside Dental La Quinta, the treatment stays in one place.
No Outside Referrals
Five dental disciplines are represented on staff, so most complex cases stay in-house from start to finish.
Shared Records and Imaging
Every provider sees the same digital X-rays, 3D scans, and treatment notes. No duplicated imaging. No lost records between offices.
Faster Treatment Timelines
Specialist consultations can happen the same week, sometimes the same day. No waiting 4-6 weeks for an outside referral appointment.
One Location for the Whole Family
Children’s checkups, orthodontics, and adult care under one roof. Schedule the entire family in a single visit.
“First visit was perfect. Staff was welcoming and took care of my experience. Dr. Wolfram was professional and listened to my concerns, with a plan to for my dental care. I appreciated knowing This dental office has Experienced Dentists, that specialize in the more challenging treatments beyond General & Cosmetic Dentistry.”
