What is a dental procedure? It can range from a simple cleaning to surgery that corrects oral problems. Sometimes the procedures you may need are obvious; other times you may not realize you have a potential problem. That’s why we spend time with you before and after your visit. First, we listen, ask questions, and make sure we are clear about your expectations. Then we explain your options in plain English and provide treatment plans that suit your time and financial limitations. Many times we recommend a watch and wait approach that saves you time and money.
