Our Philosophy - Prevention We are committed to the concept of optimum dental health. You will find that prevention is the cornerstone of our practice and the foundation for maintaining healthy teeth and gums. We offer each patient the same degree of courtesy and quality professional care that we ourselves would want. We Care We have the interest and desire to listen, really listen to what you are saying. Please don't ever hesitate to ask about anything you don't understand. You will be working with members of a dental team whose primary job is to serve you. Our pledge to you includes being available and approachable. We will do everything possible to keep the lines of communication open. We invite your comments and suggestions as we recognize the need for continual improvement. Regular Care We firmly believe that regular care is the secret to fewer problems for the patient. In fact, in this age of fewer cavities, more people are keeping their teeth. Thus, gum problems are becoming the most treated dental disease. The importance of regular cleanings cannot be stressed enough. We tailor our recall system to the needs of our patients. Some require 3 month, 6 month or 12 month cleanings. We also tailor our x-ray schedule; some are on a 6 month schedule and for some every 3 years is sufficient.
