FARMINGTON -- To help honor its new owner, Dr. Ben Leaver, Alpine Dental will be hosting a grand re-opening celebration Thursday, June 14, from 2:30-7 p.m. at Alpine Dental in Farmington. The re-opening will be an opportunity for existing and prospective patients to meet with Dr. Leaver and the auxiliary staff that has been with the practice since its original opening in 1997.
