Our Dental Philosophy
Teeth are Made to Last a Lifetime
It is policy of this office to retain all teeth, if possible. Through improved techniques provided by Dental Research most people can retain all of their teeth, if they follow a proper plan of oral hygiene, good nutrition and regular dental care.
The Importance of Oral Hygiene
Dentists have been telling patients to brush and floss their teeth after meals for years. These same patients keep coming back for routine examinations only to find that they have more dental disease. Most people brush but few floss regularly. We are working hard to educate our patients how they can eliminate tooth and gum disease. Recent research has shown that these diseases can be controlled and we are here to help!
Prevention First
We have dedicated ourselves to the prevention of dental disease and consider treatment secondary. Unless we are controlling the cause of the disease, it is futile to be chasing the results. The treatment of dental disease is a very necessary service but the prevention of the disease before damage occurs is our primary goal.
Lower Dental Bills
Those patients who follow our program of control will have fewer cavities, less gum disease and lower dental bills. It is the intent of this office to see that our young patients graduate from high school with all of their teeth and a minimum of restorations (fillings).
Dental Insurance
Dental insurance is intended to cover some, but not all of the cost of your dental care. Most plans include co-insurance, a deductible and other expenses which must be paid by the patient.If you have dental insurance, please bring your plan information, including your insurance card to your first visit. We will work with you to assure that you receive the maximum benefits to which you are entitled.
As a service to you, we will file most of your insurance claims for you. This is done by our staff daily, in order to expedite payment on claims.
A Word About Fees
We make every effort to keep down the cost of your dental care. Our fee for each procedure is based on the service rendered and the time required for its accomplishment. We believe this is the only way to establish a fair fee, both to the patient and the dentist. We are confident you will find our fees value oriented and in keeping with the quality of the personal and professional services we offer.
Staying With The Times
Our staff has had the finest training and prides itself in staying with the "times" so that we may provide our patients with the finest Dentistry available. Our primary purpose is one of prevention. We are here to help make you aware of how this can be accomplished. We will see to it that you are comfortable at all times during a dental procedure, from the day you enter our office, to the day your treatment is completed.We would like to thank you trusting with your dental health. We are certain you will be rewarded with a lifetime of good dental health.
We hope our efforts and philosophy will result in the greatest compliment a patient can make; the referral of a friend or relative to our practice.
