Highlights of the past 200 blog posts – Our Mission

Dedicated Personal Care is what our logo represents.

Our mission statement – We are dedicated to providing personal care to assist you in achieving excellent health outcomes for life!

This is what we are about and this is what the blogs are all about. The more educated a person is, the better the outcomes. Post-operative instructions are followed and there is a better understanding of procedures.

We will often call and see how you are going after an extensive procedure.

We want to avoid crisis treatment as pain is too late.

We have developed patient guides to explain the cornerstone of achieving our mission:

• Getting to understand you better, including your dental concerns, medical history, and personal preferences.
• Obtain good records including, charting, x-rays and if necessary an OPG.
• Extensive diagnosis.
• A treatment plan or a staged plan to discuss, with options.
• Preventive treatment and education, such as scale and clean, tooth brush instructions, and dietary care.
• Treatment to be carried out.
• Maintenance including regular cleaning, and x-rays and examinations.
• Review of past treatment.
• Then if needed, more complex treatment can be carried out on a solid foundation, such as implants, dentures, veneers, crowns and bridges and bleaching.

We need to keep an eye on you. There is a saying – “the only constant is change!”

These changes include wear and tear, an altered bite, medical, and diet, lifestyle and maintenance habits. There is also new technology and updated knowledge.

The staff have also contributed to the blogs on our mission as we try to practice what we preach.

A patient was told when the website was born, she replied, “How long was the pregnancy?” Yes, there was a pregnancy of about six months, and it needs to be fed constantly!
