Helping patients achieve beautiful, healthy smiles is a gift I am thankful for, and I'm pretty luckyto do that every day at HighPoint Dental and call it my job! I truly love what I do because I find dentistry to be personally and professionally rewarding. Every patient has unique needs and goals and I strive to develop treatment plans that are custom to each patient with these elements in mind. My treatment philosophy is centered on creating healthy and beautiful smiles that directly improve overall health, self confidence and well being. I also truly love converting fearful patients. Some people don't understand that we actually change lives by helping patients get thru their fears or enhancing their smile or just making the mouth healthy....most knowby now that there is a direct link with overall health and the health of the mouth.
Aside from hanging out with patients and my truly amazing team, I love spending time with my triplets, Eleni, Niko, and Georgia, and hubby, Sam. We love to visit museums in the city together, water color paint, hikeoutdoors, travel and explore the world around. Historical, Culturaland Beach vacations are our favorite. Recent trip to Greece was ahighlight.

My son and I have been patients at High Point Dental for more than 10 years now! I enjoy it because it's what I would call Concierge Dentistry! That's just what I like to call the office! It's not a regular Dentist Office. Everyone who works is Top Notch...from the people at the front desk, to the Hygienists, to the Dentists! You are not just a patient, they actually care about you as a person! We talk about my vacations, my son's classes at school, his sports, etc. The procedures or cleanings or whatever you are having are tailored to meet your specific needs and comfort level. My son was 5 years old when he started with Dr.Paros! He is actually HAPPY when he sees her! What 15 year old says that to their DENTIST?! I started with Dr.Paros approximately 6 months before my wedding! Not that my teeth were bad, but she is a cosmetic Dentist and thus made my teeth look AMAZING for my wedding pictures! That just shows you how awesome everyone is at this Dental office! They can't get rid of us! Thank you all! Sincerely, Cynthia and Joshua Evans

Dr. Vastlik was amazing with my 8 year old son. My son had to get fillings and it was his first time experience with having to get a filling so he was nervous and Dr. Vastlik was so kind and patient with my son. He sat with him for a few minutes and explained everything that they would be doing and all the instruments they would be using to my son before they started anything to make him feel comfortable. I am happy with the level of care that was provided!

Within the very first few minutes of my appointment, my dental hygienist Angelica put me totally at ease and a lot less anxious about my upcoming deep cleaning procedure. She assured me I had nothing to worry about, and she was right! She answered all of my questions and explained everything she was doing as she gently worked, and the whole treatment was a breeze. Very thankful to her for doing such a great job. Ruthie in the office is a gem too! Friendly, and always super helpful when making appointments, etc. Happy to recommend High Point Dental. Teresa
