We want you, the patient, to be involved in determining the course of your treatment. Gone are the days of the dentist telling you what you “need” and not providing options. Dental health is a team enterprise with one collective goal – nurturing your teeth, mouth and gums to simply be the best they can be.
Maybe you’ve neglected your dental health for a bit too long, or maybe past experience has left you with apprehension when it comes to dental care. Dental technology has come a long way from what you might remember. We make every effort to make your treatment a pleasant experience.
Preventive dentistry is our goal for every patient. It involves the daily care, good nutrition, and periodic re-care visits that maintain good dental health. Preventive dentistry may not be where we start with every patient, but it’s where we like to finish.
Restorative dentistry is basic repair of the mouth. We mend broken or leaking fillings, replace missing teeth with implants, build crowns and bridges, fit partial and full dentures, and improve your bite. Where necessary, gum disease is treated prior to major restorative treatment. The prevailing belief behind restorative dentistry is a simple one: you can keep all your teeth for all your life.
Cosmetic dentistry is coming of age with new materials and procedures that make a beautiful smile accessible to everyone. Because our preventive and restorative programs have been so successful, we now have the luxury of considering cosmetic treatment for gaps, chips, and otherwise less-than-perfect smiles.
We work hard to control the cost of dental care. It’s part of our philosophy that quality care should be available to everyone. Our first rule of thumb: before any work is performed, we’ll sit down together and go over our estimate of charges—every detail.
