Treatment Philosophy
Ask your dental team about how they would describe their practice to potential patients. Do they offer comprehensive restorative care? Do they prioritize aesthetics and cosmetic dentistry? Make sure that you form a relationship with a dental team that mirrors your own dental philosophy. You deserve to get dental care that meets your unique needs.
State-of-the-Art Technologies
Dental technology is making it easier than ever before for patients to get the preventive, restorative, aesthetic care that they need. Talk to your dentist about their treatment options and technologies—do they use dental implant replacement teeth, for example? One technology that we’re proud to offer is laser periodontics. Dental lasers are gentle, effective, and patient-friendly.
Scheduling Options
Our dental practice offer flexible scheduling options to help you get the care you need, precisely when you need it. We’ve found that this is especially useful for our patients who are coordinating appointments for different family members.
Emergency Contact Info
When you are faced with a dental emergency, you want to make sure that you already know who to call. Talk to your dentist about the best way to reach them in case of dental trauma—there may be a specific phone number to use, for example. You can reach our team by calling our regular office number.
