Choosing the right dentist is an important decision. We respect your right to choose a dentist who will fulfill your dental needs and help you achieve your dental goals. Dr. Nickels understands what his patients want in a dentist, because he invests time listening to each patient's concerns and discussing treatment options.
There's more to cosmetic dentistry than meets the eye. Although the objectives are universal-optimum dental health for life, the details involved in accomplishing that are numerous. To do our work well, we must consider everything that effects your mouth's function and appearance, its hygiene, and overall health.
We make it our goal to do what it takes to bring your teeth into their healthiest possible condition. We do this with an important principle in mind; maximum conservation of tooth structure. That means look for and arrest decay at its earliest observable state; removing only the diseased tooth structure, thus requiring placement of the smallest amount of filling possible.
Implementing the above allows our office to have open communications to provide you with the ultimate service. We want you to feel like you're visiting friends. This allows us to serve you better and give your dental needs our full attention.
