We have been serving the dental needs of our community since 1972.
Our practice has grown exclusively through the referrals and kind
words of our patients. We know that you will be very pleased
with the services our office offers. The quality of our care is
excellent, patient care is our top priority and our staff
constantly strives to be the best.
Your first
visit, unless there is an immediate problem, will be for a
complete comprehensive oral examination, which includes an oral
cancer and blood pressure screening. With your permission,
necessary digital radiographs will be taken. This is a good time
for you to inform us of any areas of discomfort, problems
chewing, or cosmetic changes that you desire.
At the conclusion of this visit, we will discuss your treatment
options and formulate a treatment plan. This appointment takes
about an hour. The next step is normally an appointment with one
of our Registered Dental Hygienists for a complete periodontal
(gum and bone) evaluation. A dental cleaning is usually a part
of the plan unless periodontal issues are noted that this visit.
We have found that this is the best way to get to know our new
patients, what they want and need, and how we can best provide
treatment.
