Our Philosophy

I would like to thank you and welcome you to our office.

I'll start by sharing our guidelines for patients.

Our philosophy is to help each patient achieve the highest level of dental health that is appropriate for them. Recognizing that not all patients have the same dental needs or desires.

With that in mind we would ask you to identify how you would like to be seen in our office by checking which of the three levels seem appropriate for you at this time. Please understand that it is not uncommon for patients to choose a different path after they have experienced our office, but this helps as a starting point.

Level 1:
Reactive care. Patients at this level are generally only interested in solving more urgent problems and not in a comprehensive exam or long- term planning.

In addition, they typically want the treatment performed to be as inexpensive and efficient as possible.

Level 2:
Proactive care. Patients who choose this level of care generally want a thorough examination and want to be Involved In the prevention of present and future dental diseases.
Typically however, they choose repair solutions that are not long term in nature.

Level 3:
Regenerative care. Patients at this level have a high value for their dental health and appearance. They desire a complete dental examination and have a desire to be informed of all findings and the potential consequences of each problem.

Ultimately they want to be involved in creating a long-term master plan for their dental health which includes choosing the longest lasting solutions to their problems.

We hope these different levels make sense to you, and as we stated before, it is not uncommon for patients to change levels after beginning treatment with us. We look forward to seeing you and helping you achieve the level of dental care most appropriate for you.
