Our Philosophy
Our Mission
We have one common goal for our patients – preserving their teeth with long term success. We are committed to the highest level of care.
Minimally Invasive Dentistry
is a new approach focusing on conserving tooth structure rather than radically removing it.
Minimally invasive dentistry is a philosophy of oral health provision. It focuses on comprehensive preventive management and minimally invasive approaches to operative interventions. This approach is founded on conserving your tooth structure rather than radically removing it. Minimally invasive dentistry follows a new paradigm in dentistry, as it requires minimal surgical intervention, the use of modern adhesive materials according to stringent scientific principles, and prevention according to the individual patients needs. Minimally invasive treatment has long-term benefits. Rather than invasive treatments that often lead to loss of tooth structure, complications, tooth loss, and possible overall health problems, minimally invasive dentistry’s goal is to preserve your teeth. Such a philosophy ultimately leads to a prolonged life-span of the patient’s natural smile and whole body health. See examples of non-invasive additive treatments in esthetic dentistry.
Patient Centered Care
Minimally invasive dentistry is both patient specific and patient centered. Our specialists work closely together in decisions involved in saving and preserving our patients’ teeth.
Partnership With Patients
We take partnership in caring for our patients’ oral health. We teach our patients what they can do to preserve their teeth on their own and use latest techniques in oral care preventive management to achieve the best results possible.
We believe in prevention, early diagnosis and conservative therapies to protect and strengthen our patients' teeth and gums, and we center our care around that philosophy. By following these concepts, we are able to prolong the life span of our patients' teeth and gums.
Using new technologies, materials and very careful techniques, we are able to preserve our patient's teeth without the need for invasive procedures that can produce unsightly results. Our minimally invasive techniques preserve the structure and enhance esthetic of our patients' teeth, but more importantly, they ensure the patients' long-term oral health.
Our team's goal is to diagnose both periodontal disease (gum disease) and tooth decay early and prevent them from advancing. Utilizing specialized skills and state-of-the-art technology in a caring and compassionate atmosphere, we are able to successfully diagnose and treat a wide range of dental issues. We are highly committed to successful treatment and maintenance.
