We want every person to smile when they think back on their time with us, and designing our practice around a positive patient experience is one way we aim to do just that. Your dental health may be our number one priority, but your comfort is right up there as well. At One Smile Dental, we work extra hard to make sure you feel extra comfortable while receiving dental care.
With digital X-rays, we can spend less time waiting for images to be developed and more time actually treating you. Even better, the images are higher quality, and the process is more comfortable for you.
We use our intraoral camera to show you detailed images of your own mouth, giving you a dentists view of whats going on. This helps the patient to better understand their mouth, allowing them to make more confident decisions.
At One Smile Dental, our mission is to provide each patient with such an exceptional experience that theyre proud to refer us to their family and friends. We demonstrate this first by offering convenient hours and payment options in order to make our services easily accessible for everyone in our community. Secondly, we provide care in a calming, personable environment and treat each patient as a valued guest in our own house. Last but not least, were always striving for higher levels of professional excellence through continuing education and training in order to provide a consistently high standard of care.
In 2000, Dr. Collins graduated with his Bachelor of Science degree, asked his wife to marry him, and loaded his truck for the big move to dental school. He then continued his professional education at Indiana University School of Dentistry and earned his Doctorate of Dental Surgery degree in 2004.
Armed with his new degree and a desire to make a difference in peoples lives, he joined the Indian Health Service and was commissioned as a Lieutenant in the United States Public Health Service. He served in the hospital facility at Santa Fe, NM working mainly with the Pueblo and Navajo tribes. Dr. Collins believes this unique opportunity gave him valuable experience interacting with different specialists and patients of all age groups, helping him see dental health as a team effort between not just doctor and patient, but family and community as well.
When his commission ended, he took a job in the private sector and quickly realized he wanted the freedom to be able to provide the same level of patient care he would want for his wife and family in a community he would be proud to call his home. While visiting Texas, he discovered Bastrop and after seeing the town and meeting some new friends, he decided this is where he wanted to open his office.
One Smile Dental opened its doors in May of 2012. Dr. Collins is proud of the quality of care One Smile Dental provides and strives to provide the best overall dental experience for all patients and their friends and relatives. After all, his family are patients here, too.
