Continuing Education & Training
Rest assured that we are fully trained and certified to provide you with the most up to date dentistry you are looking for. Several times a year the entire staff attends dental conferences and seminars to keep informed about new developments in patient care, new products, equipment, and advancements in dental treatment techniques.
Patient Consultation & Information
Knowledge is power. We want to empower you to make informed decisions about your oral health. The first step to evaluating dental health is to actually look at overall health by reviewing your medical history as well as reviewing your current medications. Next, we will examine all of your teeth visually. To aid us in this process, we may use an intraoral dental camera that enables us to take pictures so you get to see what we see in your mouth. If we decide they are necessary we will also take x-rays. Finally, we will discuss with you what we see, and we will discuss what your treatment options are. It will be up to you to do as much or as little as you want, in a time frame that is comfortable for you. We help you make healthy choices!
Positive Childhood Dental Visits
Early dental care ensures healthier teeth and better facial growth for your child, and it can also lower the cost of dental treatment needed in later years. More than 1 in 4 children in the U.S. have cavities by age 4, and some as early as age 2. We want to reduce your child’s risk of developing cavities so we often have conversations with parents about food choices and dietary habits that affect oral health. We believe that a very important part of childhood dental visits is learning how cavities happen. We do our best to make it easy and fun for both parents and children to learn about good oral health habits. We are here to provide positive dental experiences for your child (and you) right from the first visit!
What Patients Say About Us
The hygienists are among the nicest, most helpful people I have ever met. They really explained everything and that helped me understand why I need what I need.
