Because advances in research, technology and technique are constantly being made, we understand the importance of being open to innovation that is safe and effective. That’s why we practice integrative dentistry, which means we incorporate the best of other sciences and healing arts. It’s a more holistic approach that includes the educated use of medicament options, natural therapeutics and the latest in biocompatible substances, along with the full spectrum of good traditional options.
After understanding your aspirations and carefully diagnosing your dental health, we develop a plan that treats your individual restorative needs and aesthetic desires. Your treatment plan aims first to establish sound dental condition, then if necessary, apply cosmetic artistry. Just as you wouldn’t build your dream house on unstable ground, you can’t achieve dental success without first securing the underlying elements.
We are mindful of the intimate nature of our work and appreciate the privilege of entering your personal space. By taking time to explain the sounds, sights and sensations you can expect during procedures, we minimize any potential for anxiety. Our goal is to open the “sacred door” between doctor and patient to enter an atmosphere of trust and confidence. We want our patients to be as motivated by the treatment plan as we are. Your full involvement in your transformation is an important goal of ours.
Feeling anxious doesn’t have to be part of a dental visit. At Oris we help with advanced relaxation techniques and natural relaxants, if you need them. Our approach is to address your feelings seriously, rather than being dismissive, or rushing you to “grin and bear it”
Our philosophy also applies to our network of select specialists to whom we refer complex cases.
We take care throughout your treatment to follow the pathways to oral balance because it’s a foundation of total health, and therefore beauty.
