About Us
Our Office
State St. Family Dental has been serving the St. Johns and surrounding communities since 2002. We started as a small practice with one hygienist and one doctor. We have expanded our practice and are now able to offer our patients a wide variety of treatment options. Our dentists are highly skilled and qualified in several dental specialties. We are a family here; we spend a lot of time together and work well as a team. We hope your experience with us leaves you feeling part of our family as well!
Meet Dr. MacPhail!

Outside of the office, Dr. MacPhail’s favorite thing in the world is spending time with her husband and their two young children. With two toddlers only 16 months apart, every day is an adventure!
