We pride ourselves on a thorough, comprehensive approach to treatment. This facilitates the most accurate diagnosis and treatment, and ensures that you are well informed about all the types of treatment available so you can make an informed decision. We've noted repeatedly that this saves our patients time and expense in the long run.
Before beginning treatment, many issues need to be discussed including the type of treatment, the risks and benefits, options for sedative medications, coordination with other treatment, and financial arrangements.
We coordinate with a patients current dentist, and often request records from previous dentists because determining how a disease has responded in the past, can affect future recommendations.
Our comprehensive approach does not represent some sinister way to ""bill more"" as this writer speculates. Our fees are based on the treatment provided, as in most dental offices, not the number of visits. We try to help consolidate treatment into fewer visits due to issues regarding sedation and the time patients may need to cancel work and or other obligations, as well as the healing period that may be necessary.
As dentists, we have teeth too and understand very clearly what dental treatment looks like and feels like. We feel that we practice with Compassion, Integrity, and Excellence.
