No Judgement Here!
We will not scold you, judge you, or make you feel less than the brave and important person you are. It takes guts to face fear with courage, and we respect your initiative to begin a journey toward good oral health.
Instead of the judgement you fear, at our dental office, you’ll experience:
- An inviting welcome
- Respect
- Solutions, not criticism
- Patience and positivity
- A step-by-step plan to restore your oral health, comfortable function, and attractive smile
In the past decade, dentistry has changed quite a bit. A movement toward no shame in healthcare has empowered patients, and rightfully so. At your dental appointment, you’ll find support, healing, and encouragement for your journey.
Real Reasons, Real Problems
In many cases, patients who haven’t visited a dentist in years may have faced obstacles like these:
- Chronic illness or pain
- Financial stress
- Dental anxiety
- Being a busy caregiver
- Depression or burnout
- Traumatic dental experience
In short, we understand that poor oral health rarely occurs because a patient does not care. Usually, life just gets in the way. And that’s okay! Life interrupts best intentions, but we’d like to help you step back into prioritizing your oral health and enjoying a pain-free mouth.
Gentle, Comprehensive Exam, at Your Pace
At your consultation, you may feel overwhelmed, shy, ashamed, or scared of what your treatment plan may entail. The dentist will not rush you; we schedule ample time for conversation in appointments, because good relationships require communication.
We’d like you to:
- Share your concerns and goals
- Ask questions about treatments or financial responsibilities
- Openly discuss your symptoms, without embarrassment
- Express to us your fears or past negative experiences
During your oral exam, we can always pause, take a break, or provide more explanation. Just ask. This innovative, collaborative approach to your dental visit will go a long way towards putting you at ease.
Customized Treatment – No Pressure, No Shame
Once your oral exam is complete and we have X-rays and images, the dentist will work with you to create a practical, achievable plan to restore your oral health. We will outline your treatment plan and answer all of your questions about clinical and financial aspects.
We accept all PPO insurance plans and offer financing options, when necessary. We want you to be able to afford the care you need to restore your smile, health, and confidence!
