Our Practice

 

Our Philosophy

Your teeth should last for a lifetime!!  Good dental health care can keep your teeth strong and healthy for a lifetime, and we can help you attain it.  We are a dental practice devoted to restoring and enhancing the natural beauty of your smile using conservative, state-of-the-art procedures that will result in beautiful, long lasting smiles!

High Standard of Care

 

We strive to offer the most comprehensive and innovative dental care.  We provide individualized treatment planning and use restorative and cosmetic dentistry to achieve your optimal dental health.  Should a dental emergency occur, we make every effort to see and care for you as soon as possible.

Digital Radiography

We are pleased to offer the best in digital radiography.  Digital X-Rays gives us a much clearer picture of your teeth and the tissues surrounding them.  This means quicker diagnosis of small problems that we are able to catch and treat before they become big ones!  Digital X-Rays also offer about 1/4 of the radiation that the traditional x-ray used to.

 

Education & Prevention

As a practice, we are true believers that preventive care and education are the keys to optimal dental health. We strive to provide “dental health care” vs. “disease care”.  That’s why we focus on thorough exams – checking the overall health of your teeth and gums, performing oral cancer exams, and taking x-rays when necessary.  We also know that routine cleanings, flossing, sealants, and fluoride are all helpful in preventing dental disease.  Not only are we focused on the beauty of your smile, we’re also concerned about your health.  A review of your medical history can help us stay informed of your overall health, any new medications, and any illnesses that may impact your dental health.

Uncompromising Safety

 

Infection control in our office is also very important to us.  To protect our patients and ourselves, we strictly maintain sterilization and cross contamination procedures.  Our operatories are well barriered for all appointments and all hard surfaces are disinfected between patients.  All instruments are scrubbed with soap and water, placed into an ultrasonic bath and then heat sterilized in an autoclave or statim sterilization machine.

In regards to privacy, our staff consciously tries to protect all patients and their personal information.  Patient information in the computers is password protected and can be accessed only by staff members.  All patient charts are kept in closed cupboards that are not left unattended during business hours.  Matters regarding personal dental health or financial arrangements are discussed only with the patient involved and with the most confidentiality possible.  We do not provide your personal information to any third party unless given consent to do so, with the exception of referrals to specialty offices.

Our Training & Expertise

 

As your dental health professionals, we want you to be confident knowing that we are a team of highly trained and skilled clinicians.  As professionals in the dental field we are required to complete specified number of hours in continuing education annually.  We attend lectures, courses and conventions regularly to meet our requirements.  Our dentists, hygienists and assistants are all licensed with their local associations.

A Positive Experience for the Nervous Patient

 

We understand how uneasy some patients may feel about their dental visits, and how we can make a difference in providing a relaxing and positive experience.  Please feel free to talk with our staff regarding ways to ease your anxiety before and during your appointment.  Our entire team is dedicated to providing you with excellent, personalized care and service to make your visits as comfortable and pleasant as possible.

We thank you for allowing us to take care of your dental needs and look forward to serving you.
