It takes a combination of education, training, hands-on experience, and team effort to create a great dental care team.
We don't stop there. We know it takes more than academic knowledge to make our patients feel comfortable and "at home"...it takes something that can't be taught, a genuine heart for people. And that's what you'll sense when you come to our office. We work together like a family and we treat our patients like family. A combination that's guaranteed to make you smile.
Your dental experience in our office will be a lot different than dental visits you may have had in the past! We recently added to our office new computers and flat panel monitors in all 9 operatories. Patients can now view their digital x-rays along with the doctor or hygienists. This enables both the patient and provider to visualize and discuss treatment at chairside. During treatment patients can also view cable television or DVD's. Through Caesy educational videos and the Smile Channel, patients can also view educational presentations about dental treatment, new technology we use, cosmetic options and much more. If you're already a patient here we can't wait for you to see our new equipment, if you haven't yet been to our office we'd be happy for you to stop by and we'll show you around.
