“We believe each person has the right to become as healthy as they chose to be. Our desire is to work specifically with those people who wish to achieve a higher sense of self-esteem and well-being by enhancing their appearance, their comfort, and ability to sustain health.”
We understand that choosing a new dentist and dental health team can be a challenge. We are writing this to welcome you and to share our beliefs concerning the type of services we offer and why.
There are three levels people may choose for treatment in our office:
Urgent Care:
People in discomfort or with trauma, needing immediate help . Generally patients at this level prefer short term cursory examinations. They usually want to correct immediate problems with as little effort as possible. We are happy to help you in these situations but it is not the primary focus of our practice. An example of this might be minor oral surgery, or wisdom teeth removal.
Maintenance Care:
People who choose this level of care, want to take an active part in the elimination of current and prevention of future disease problems. Often repair solutions chosen are medium term in duration. This is usually a 3-7 year repair oriented treatment, knowing that the dental treatment performed today will have to be repeated again in the near future.
Optimum Preventative Care:
Patients at this level are similar to people described in the previous category. The difference is that they choose to have comprehensive examination and treatment planning for health and repair to achieve a future based on choice not chance. These patients are very concerned about treating the causes of dental disease and not simply the effects or symptoms. They want all treatment provided to be completed in the most durable manner possible, with an added emphasis on the look of their smile as well as the state of their oral health.An example of this is TMJ therapy to address jaw joint problems .
It is very common for people to progress to a higher level over time. Please feel free to ask us any questions whether they are about your current situation, available options, or future considerations for you or your family.
A dentist is always available for our patients in the case of after-hours problems.
