Practice Philosophy

Our office is specifically focused on the care and protection of children. Our goal is that every patient and parent feels safe and comfortable in our office. We strive to alleviate a child's fears by using our own specialized language and skills to explain procedures in a way they can understand. We also work hard to address parental concerns by explaining each child's dental condition, why and what type of treatment has been planned, and how it might be prevented in the future. In all aspects, we hope that every patient and parent has a positive experience in our office.

We believe that by working together in cooperation with children and parents, most dental disease can be prevented. We stress prevention by incorporating highly the use of brushing and flossing instructions, topical fluorides, diet counseling, and sealants into our daily practice. We believe that when the dentist, parent, and child each play an integral part in a prevention program, children can stay cavity free.

When fillings or crowns are required, we strive to provide the highest quality dental restoration possible. To help maintain healthy, good looking smiles, we try to utilize tooth colored restorations whenever possible.

Our business foundation is set upon Christian principles and ideals. We strive to provide service to you with honesty and integrity. In our office, we strive to do the right things for the right reasons. We recommend treatment that, in our opinion, is best for each child's unique circumstance and will treat and protect that child as if they were our own.
