Caring for Your Smile

During your first visit with us, our focus is on getting to know you and understanding your goals for your smile. Your dentist, Dr. Hughes or Dr. Patterson, will talk with you personally to learn more about your dental and medical history, as well as address any interests you may have in changing your smile appearance.

We always want to keep you well informed about your dental health. Following a thorough examination of your teeth, gums and jaw joints, the dentist will review recommendations with you to maintain a healthy smile. Our office is equipped with digital x-rays and 3D imaging technology, which allows us to share our findings with you on a computer screen.

Your Comfort is Our Priority

If you or your loved ones have concerns or fears about seeing the dentist, please let us know. We have helped many patients that struggle with extreme dental anxiety; we can offer a number of options to help you receive the dental care that you need, comfortably and worry-free.


Dentistry for Children

Is this your child's first visit to the dentist?

We know that a fun and enthusiastic approach encourages kids to look forward to future dental visits. Our dentists typically begin seeing children in our office at age 3 for a “Happy Visit”. During this appointment, we will give your child a “ride” in the dental chair and introduce them to the sights and sounds of the dental office.

We will pace our approach based on your child's interest and response to the dental environment. If they are curious and entertained, we usually can proceed with a preventive teeth cleaning while your child holds “Mr. Thirsty” (the suction) and learns what we are all about. Or, if we see that we need to move a little more slowly, we may give them a toy and ask them to come see us again to “count” their teeth.

We will also teach both you and your child how to make brushing and healthy eating habits fun and rewarding to help take care of that precious smile!
