What makes Cheyenne Advanced Dental Arts different?

The second thing I expect when I visit another professional is to have them answer the questions I have about the care I will be receiving. I do not like having someone assume the position that they are superior to me in every way and that I should simply do what they say. I also believe that there is usually more than one way to treat any given problem and that each option has its advantages and disadvantages. I prefer to be involved in my treatment, because I do things better when I understand why things are done the way that they are.

We listen

In my office we take the time to listen to what you have to say. You live with you all day long. The things that you experience and how you react to things are critical in finding the best solution to any problem. I find that if I listen to a patient carefully, I can often diagnose the problem before I actually do the examination. Once we have collected all of the information available we can then sit down with patient we confirm the diagnosis and then explore the available options.

We give choices

This takes more time and usually involves a couple of appointments before most patients decide what they want to accomplish. We provide them a typed copy at the subsequent visit of the prior visits notes so that they can see clearly what each option involves. Some patients chose the option that is least expensive at the time and many chose the option that provides them the longest lasting resolution to their problem. Some decide on a course that involves an early solution that can form the basis for a gradual progression to a longer lasting solution. Because the treatment options we provide can be life enhancing, some times they take a considerable amount of time to accomplish. Sometimes treating more slowly and methodically substantially increases the longevity of the solution, it is essential that we all work together to solve these problems.

Sometimes all that is needed is a little filling and all is good and sometimes a whole lot more is required. It is my goal to treat each person as I would like to be treated myself. Most of my patients become my friends. We do not always have everything go perfectly and when things have an unexpected outcome most of my patients understand why we are proceeding the way we are and more importantly that we are doing all that we can to achieve the outcomes that they desire.

A little more expensive, but worth it.
