We also don't fall into the dogma that people should get their teeth cleaned every 6 months. Instead we evaluate the health of the gums at every recall visit. Based on our findings we adjust the recall interval to maintain optimal gingival health. This is such a simple idea, but in a world dominated by insurance protocols many health care providers have forgotten than every person's body is different and has individualized needs.
Similarly we personalize the interval of radiographs, and recommend use of specific types of flouride based on decay risk and gum recession. This all contributes to our true goal of providing patients with optimal oral health, and it begins with the right attitude toward prevention.
When it comes to treatment, we use the most modern materials and conservative techniques. Each doctor has attended hundreds of hours of continuing education credit. Our treament philosophy is to accomplish oral health, cosmetics and function in a comfortable, contemporary, professional environment.
We also understand that many patients are apprehensive about getting dental treatment. To make you comfortable, we offer complimentary nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and headphones with customized playlists from our streaming music menu. For more involved procedures or patients who desire it, sedation dentistry is available.
