Comprehensive Diagnostic and Consultation Service, Including Second Opinions

We will help you understand where you are and how to get where you want to be

It is important that we – and you – understand your dental situation. Knowledge is power and the most informed patients have the best results in getting what they want. So here's how we do this:

• We will actually ask you how you hope we can help you. And we will actually listen while you tell us. We will be interested in your wish list.

• We will take the time to get the kind of diagnostic records that are needed to help us understand your current situation and to help you understand it, too.

• Trust matters. So we do our evaluations and diagnosis with you, not just on you. You are involved. We want our patients to be the smartest patients on the planet. You will see what we see and we will explain it every step of the way so you will understand it, not because we tell you, but because you saw it yourself.

• We use Diagnodent (laser detection of decay) to be sure that little bit of stain in the grooves of your teeth isn't actually decay waiting to make trouble for you.

• We will do a comprehensive periodontal evaluation - we won't overlook your gum disease if you have it. You do not have to lose your teeth to gum disease.

• We will make sure your bite is not a source of trouble so you don't wear out your teeth early or make your jaw muscles and joints sore.

• We will explain everything. We do not keep secrets from you. You can ask all the questions you have.

• We will review everything with you and create a plan for your care that works for you and helps you achieve your goals for your mouth. If things are a little complex we will gladly have a consultation visit with you and put that plan in writing and give you a copy of it.

• We will discuss the economics of your plan and help you integrate your insurance coverage, your personal resources and available financing, if necessary, into a do-able program that works for you. All at once or step by step, you can reach your personal goals.
