See How Our Team Can Improve Your Smile
We feel that it’s probably a great thing to have a non-patient come in and just see our office and see the environment that we have here. I would say that we are much different in that we do spend the time to deal with dental phobias in our office. We’ve set it up so it’s a little bit comfort with the chairs and various things, and coffee ready or such. But then even back in the operatories, we have the overhead monitors, which is a great distractor for many, watch a show or such. I would say that also, we have the ability to use (laughing gas) for some of our patients that might be anxious. Sometimes we find that even after a visit or two that they may not even require that.
The fact that we’re a single practitioner, or a single office, it allows our current patients to continue to see their dentist, their doctor, and not feel that they need to possibly see somebody else as we’re seeing more and more in corporate dentistry. We like to set ourselves apart, spend that time with our patients more so. I work a lot of times one-on-one. I don’t run room-to-room to cover. With that, even our hygienist, the same thing. She just has her one patient. She’s not moving around from others that start. The most important person in the building is really our patients, and so we treat it that way.
