Dentistry as a fine art?

This is not a bunch of hype. It is really how we practice day by day.

Yes, that’s how I look at it. Providing extraordinary dentistry takes a special blend of skills. People want to be heard and understood. They want enough pertinent information to make their own choices. They have come to expect the quality of their experience to match the technical and artistic excellence of our dentistry.

Consistently living up to those expectations does not happen by accident. Our entire staff is trained how to be attentive to each patients unique needs. It is wonderful to repeatedly see people who start out nervous, skeptical, afraid or untrusting; learn to trust, relax and thoroughly enjoy their experience with our office. Once people figure out you genuinely care about their comfort and are able to provide their dentistry comfortably; they relax.

When you anticipate things for your patients, they learn to trust your knowledge and experience. When you don’t tell them what they have to do, but show them how to get what they want (like health, beauty, strength, or avoiding future problems), they make good choices for themselves.

To make all that happen takes an orchestration of many factors, including;

• integrity first and foremost. What you are will speak for itself.

• a comfortable “we care about you” health environment

• a staff that has excellent technical, communication and organizational skills

• doctors that understand what their patients are looking for and can get them there comfortably and with a smooth efficiency.

• state of the art equipment and the finest available materials

• superb laboratory technicians who have the skill to consistently produce beautiful real looking restorations. (“WOW” seems to pop out of patients’ mouths when they look in the mirror when we are done.)

• a dedication to being a lifetime student.

• enough humility to love learning from anyone any time.

Putting all the above for consistent high level care is an art. We care enough to work at it every day for every patient. No kidding!
