THANK YOU for joining our dental practice.Your expression of confidence in selecting us to consider your health needs is greatly appreciated.It is our feeling that one of the most important items in your total health care is that you understand your dental problems, their correction and the various aspects of dental treatment you will encounter in our office.
OUR PHILOSPHY is that the ultimate goal of dentistry is the control and prevention of oral disease.Since almost all oral disease is preventable, there is little reason that in an environment of preventive dentistry, any dental disease or discomfort should exist.In seeking this goal, our prime consideration is your complete and comprehensive dental care.
ON YOUR FIRST VISIT, a thorough dental examination will be performed.This will consist of a complete series of x-ray, digital photographs, a visual examination and the use of any diagnostic aids that may be indicated.(The procedures for children will vary according to the child’s age and circumstances.)Once the necessary information is gathered, the doctor will discuss with you your dental needs, the appropriate treatment, and an estimate of costs involved.
APPREHENSIVE OR SCARED?We cater to cowards!Almost everyone has some apprehension about dental treatment.To minimize apprehension and to maximize comfort, local anesthetics are used as needed.Nitrous oxide analgesia, affectionately known as “happy gas” or “laughing gas” by many of our patients, is also available to make your visit more pleasant. For further relaxation we have radios and CD’s with earphones that can be played during your dental visit as well as a wide selection of the latest movies for longer appointments.
FINANCIAL ARRANGEMENTS are handled by our financial administrator.She will explain in detail the various payment methods available to help you in your planning.We offer a financing plan called “Care Credit” which is a separate line of credit to cover you and your family members’ healthcare needs.With “Care Credit” there are no annual fees or prepayment penalties and flexible financing options.
A DENTAL APPOINTMENT is a reservation of your time, the doctor’s time and the time of the entire office staff.We will do our very best to be ready for you at your scheduled appointment time.We will appreciate the same courtesy from you.Should it be necessary for you to reschedule an appointment, kindly give us at least two working day's notice (48 hours) so that your reserved appointment may be given to someone else in need of dental services. We appreciate this courtesy.
