Patients who have been in our practice for years know that our practice is unique because we are size limited due to design, not necessity. We have been in practice over 20 years. Our philosophy is to enhance the circle of quality by staying away from a large overstaffed clinic setting. Our care is based heavily on European technology and quality materials along with Far Eastern and European work ethics. This allows for a type of practice where personal care is a standard. As a Fellow of the Academy of General Dentistry, I strongly share the Academy philosophy of responsible patient care through dedicated participation in lifelong continuing dental education. To enhance the quality of care and comfort, improvements are constantly added to our repertoire. Highlights include, and are not limited to: [1] advanced root canal therapy through the Dentsply Tulsa Dental Profile GT Nickel Titanium Rotary Instrument and Thermafil Plus System. This system uses Dr. L. Stephen Buchanan 'crown down and 3-D fill technique. Treatment is quicker, more accurate, and more comfortable. [2] the software-driven Planmeca Proline 2002 CC Panoramic-Cephalometric imaging system, rated as the finest imaging system in the world. The 2002 CC performs advanced imaging programs of the TMJ and the maxillary sinus as well as panoramic and cephalometric images. [3] advanced vinyl polysiloxane crown and bridge impressioning system.
