What Makes Us Unique

Why Us?

We empower you with options and knowledge to make your own care decisions.

Many people avoid seeing the dentist out of fear.

Fear of pain
Fear of the unknown
Fear of the cost of care

Another reason for delaying that visit to the dentist is the lack of perceived need for dental care and how that can affect overall health.

Whatever the reason we understand that a vital part of our relationship with you is to empower you with knowledge. Allowing you to self-advocate for optimum oral health whatever circumstances you find yourself in. We are here for you so that you can understand what decisions you have to make to achieve your best oral and systemic health.

Our goal will always be to first address your primary concern and also view your overall oral health from the long-term viewpoint. We will work in conjunction with your general dentist to support your oral health throughout your life-time.

Images are readily captured and saved to facilitate diagnosis, planning, and monitoring of each case.
