Conservative Care You Can Rely On

We prioritize saving natural teeth whenever possible, only recommending dental implants or extractions when absolutely necessary.

Our goal is to preserve your smile, not profit from unnecessary treatments. This conservative approach helps prevent unnecessary procedures and long-term complications, ensuring you receive care tailored to your needs.

Your Health Comes First

Every recommendation we make is guided by your best interest.

We focus on patient education, explaining the reasons behind each recommendation and helping you understand why a particular treatment is or is not recommended.

We explain all treatment options clearly so you can make informed decisions about your care. Our team takes the time to discuss potential outcomes, risks, and benefits so you feel confident in your choices.

Value Over Low Cost

We focus on providing the best long-term value.

Our philosophy is: “Do it once and do it right.” Investing in quality care now helps avoid repeat procedures and long-term health issues, ultimately saving you time and money.

Open Communication

We are never too busy to answer your questions.

Questions to Ask Your Oral Surgeon

Ultimately, you make the final decision about your oral care. To ensure you are making the best decision, consider asking your oral surgeon these questions before agreeing to any treatment: 

  1. What are my treatment options? 
  2. What are the risks and benefits of each option?
  3. What is the expected recovery time?
  4. How many similar procedures have you performed?
  5. What are the costs involved?
  6. What type of anesthesia will be used?

A good oral surgeon will allow you to make the decision on your own and will not pressure you one way or the other. They will provide you with several treatment options and will discuss the pros and cons of all treatments.
