We believe we have a unique experience to offer our patients. Because we are growing our practice, we are able to offer personalized treatment in an intimate setting where each patient is very important. Our team is passionate about serving the community with state-of-the-art orthodontic treatment options and contributing to the overall health and well-being of our patients. We are dedicated to offering you and your family the highest quality of orthodontic care.
Dr. Vossoughi and his staff are committed to enhancing the quality of life for those who choose to come to us for their dental health care. This includes orthodontic excellence and expediency in which our service is provided. Equally as important, we are committed to the creation of an environment that is open, friendly, and a fun place to be. When people leave our office, we want them to feel better about themselves. We dedicate our time, talents, and energy to this objective.
Quality care takes time, careful planning, and good communication. Communication with the patient and the patients family is essential from the very beginning when treatment options are evaluated, and the treatment plan is agreed upon by the patient and/or guardian. Each step of the treatment process and patient progress is discussed so that everyone is well-informed and expectations are met prior to the placement of the braces. Patient questions and feedback are encouraged at every stage of the treatment process.
We enjoy getting to know our patients on a personal level, keeping up with school activities and supporting local athletic teams. We promote a relaxed, fun environment where patients and their families feel comfortable. All our patients especially enjoy participating in office contests and reward incentive programs.
A beautiful smile and healthy teeth go hand-in-hand with a focus on general health. We not only improve the aesthetics of your smile, the treatment improves malocclusions (bad bites) resulting from tooth or jaw misalignment. Patients with malocclusions tend to have a harder time brushing, flossing, and chewing, as well as TMJ soreness. Additionally, we will give you and your general dentist regular updates on your oral hygiene and health. Quality orthodontic treatment together with routine dental care help to ensure that teeth will function correctly and stay in proper alignment for a lifetime.
Through our use of advanced technology, we are able to offer higher quality care to our patients. Computer technology enables us to focus on our patients and not on tracking paper files. Additionally, digital imaging and digital radiography (x-rays) minimize exposure to harmful radiation, and also help provide patients and parents with a better understanding of treatment options. Overall, we believe that a digital office with onsite digital imaging enable better communication with other dental professionals, and higher quality treatment.
