- A provider of general dentistry plus dental hygiene
- Experts for some of the highest quality reconstructive treatments available.
Prosthodontist’s education and training
Note that less than 2% of all dentists are trained as Prosthodontists. This involves years of formal post-graduate dental training. Learn more about prosthodontists, – what they do, and how they are trained: click here – Prosthodontists.
What are our goals and our patient’s expectations?
Our goal is to determine our patient’s dental needs and concerns. Then we can work up a couple of treatment options. Some cases involve developing detailed treatment plans involving other specialists.
Our patients expect meticulous, personalized dental care
Our patients expect meticulous, personalized dental care using the best labs and biomaterials. This systematic process requires time. Yet it allows us to provide some of the most advanced prosthetic restorative treatments available.
We provide time and quality care to all patients regardless of case size
All patients receive the same level of precision, scrutiny and individualized care. Whether they need a full mouth implant-supported prosthesis or a simple cleaning. We welcome young families and those with more complex dental needs. Young families with kids represent a growing part of our dental patient population.
Our business model is based on quality materials, adequate treatment time, detailed treatment plans and collaboration with other dental professionals
We attempt to conserve and restore existing teeth when practical. Where applicable, we offer the patient different treatment options. This includes consideration of cost expected outcome, longevity and personal care requirements of each option.
We are not a high patient volume, revenue driven practice.
We do not adhere to methods and materials prescribed by dental insurance plans. Each patient has ample time for a thorough treatment.
We are a quality driven dental practice.
This includes taking exact impressions by hand. We work only with select, detail oriented dental labs. We develop thorough treatment plans and use the most advanced bio-materials.
Precise cosmetic & restorative details can take time
We focus on tooth shape, alignment, opacity, color, symmetry and natural look. Optimal bite and chewing function are also of paramount importance. We make every effort in both hygiene and restoration to do our very best job. For areas outside our skill set, we work with of a group of allied dental specialists. These include the areas of oral surgery, periodontics, endodontics, and orthodontics.
Why is high-quality dentistry an excellent investment?
Healthy natural teeth and a nice smile boost your self-esteem
Your smile prompts a reaction from others. They respond impulsively -thinking “oh teeth problems”. Your conscious or subliminal response of this reaction has consequences. It may have a negative impact on your psyche. Your self-esteem and level of confidence may suffer. High levels of confidence and self-esteem are essential for social interaction.
Gum disease may cause other diseases. Other diseases may lead to gum disease.
A bacteria, S. mutants, the cause of cavities and gum disease may also cause or other maladies. If it enters the circulatory system it can affect the valves of the heart. Dementia is also associated with gingivitis or gum disease. Those with rheumatoid arthritis or diabetes are more likely to contract gum disease. (Webmd.com). More work is needed to better clarify these causal relationships.
Oral chewing and speech function is also important
Of course, a proper bite too is an essential function of daily living. Thus, healthy teeth and gums can prevent a variety of other diseases and are important to living a long life. Thus, oral health is an investment in your self-esteem, your appearance, your comfort and your health.
Determine which dental practice is right for you!
Considering the importance and cost of dental care you should take the time to assess different providers. Many important decisions are first influenced first by emotions than facts. Try to avoid irrational, impulsive decisions. First, gather facts. Due diligence requires gathering information from more than one source. Assess the dental practice, its people, their qualifications, and other’s reviews.
