Ultimately, his goal is to provide the highest quality care in a comfortable and caring environment. This practice has been molded to create a comfortable, informative environment for you. We believe in providing a complete diagnosis, discussing your treatment wishes as well as concerns, and then together build a treatment plan that will create or maintain your healthy smile for a lifetime.
Each dentist has a distinct philosophy of diagnosis and care. Ours is based upon functional principles of Occlusion, or the manner in which your teeth fit together and work for you. All cosmetic treatments are available to you, but such treatments will look best and be most comfortable when your teeth fit and function properly. Today, many people suffer from a poor bite and either cannot chew properly or may even suffer TMJ difficulties.
We have undergone extensive additional training to better diagnose and help guide you through treatment options when the need exists. In addition to the many types of care we provide, we work with the Denver areas finest specialists and will help you schedule in their offices when the need arises. Our office is constantly updating our education and adding the technology to bring you the newest options in dentistry.
Since 2000 we have been a leader in the use of Laser Technology for the repair of teeth and treatment of periodontal disease. Todays lasers allow many dental procedures to be done without the need for local anesthetic and yet be pain-free. In addition, we are proud to offer Invisible Braces, the new clear way to straighten out many tooth crowding problems. What better way to show off that new straight smile than by using Zoom Tooth Whitening, one of the most proven systems on the market. One of dentistrys brightest areas today is Implant Dentistry, we have been restoring implant cases for over 25 years. While the implants have changed dramatically we have been restoring implant cases since 1985.
More than anything, we believe that all of the technology in the world cannot take the place of careful, honest conversation with you as your dental team. We pledge to listen to you, your concerns and wishes. We will provide a comfortable environment for you to make your best decisions regarding your care. We will provide our fee estimate to you in advance so that you are aware of your dental costs and will help you to know more about programs such as Care Credit to allow you to move forward with your dental care confidently. We will process pertinent dental insurance claims for you and will gather as much information about your employers policy as possible to avoid surprises in your coverage. Our goal is to be your dental home for many years, a place in which you can have confidence and feel at peace. We have been providing such a place since 1982 and look forward to having you join our practice!
