MOSES LAKE — Briel Loiseau is the new proprietor of the Cosmetic, Restorative and Family Dentistry practice located at 836 Sharon Ave. East in Moses Lake.

Loiseau, who has been working as an associate dentist in town for the past three years, will now own his own practice as Gordon S. Froese, long time dentist in Moses Lake is retiring after 35 years in the business.

Loiseau, who was born in the city of Moses Lake, but grew up in Everett, said he’s happy to be back and is looking forward to providing the same excellent care and service that patients received under Froese.

“I am excited to become a permanent part of the Moses Lake community,” Loiseau said.

“I enjoy all areas of dentistry and strive to educate myself with the latest advances and techniques. I am also certified in baby and child dentistry. I am confident in my ability to take care of your every dental need, including wisdom tooth extractions and endodontics, which will add more services to the office.”

After graduating high school Loiseau served a mission for the Latter-Day Saints church in Warsaw, Poland. He returned two years later to complete his Bachelor of Science degree at Brigham Young University, and was accepted into the University of Washington School of Dentistry. He graduated in 2009 and has been practicing dentistry as an associate dentist to Dr. Froese.

Loiseau has received a few accolades along the way as his skills have been recognized by the American Academy of Implant Dentistry and the Pacific Coast Society for Prosthodontics. He also received the Ferrier Memorial Prize and Fixed prosthodontics award from the University of Washington School of Dentistry.

“My mission is to make people smile,” he said. “I had braces when I was 14 and it totally changed my personality … made me more outgoing and gave me more confidence. I hope to be able to do that for people here in Moses Lake.”

Loiseau bought the practice in July. Froese will continue to see patients with Loiseau to ensure a smooth transition of the practice. Froese's staff has been retained and stands at the ready to offer the same quality service that people have come to know for the past three decades.
