The Dentist Is Your Friend
At Today’s Dental Comfort, we know TV and films often use dentists for comic relief or portray us as people who enjoy causing pain, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. All the dentists we know — and that includes us — are caring professionals who only want to take away people’s pain.
Your Dentist Cares About Your Teeth
So, maybe we’re a little obsessed with oral health, but when’s the last time you really thought long and hard about yours? We think about it every day because we’re fascinated with the intricacies of the mouth, the mechanisms that keep it functioning, and the essential role it plays in overall health. For us, dentistry isn’t just a job — it’s a calling — and our patients benefit from our continuous pursuit of new knowledge and skills.
Being lifelong learners, we know when something needs immediate attention or just monitoring. We also know which treatments to recommend to most benefit our patient. It’s not our practice to play guessing games with our patients’ oral health. Instead, we use all the data we gather from high-resolution digital imaging, computer-aided measurements, and our own observations to make accurate diagnoses and create custom treatment plans. Our only goal is to help our patients achieve, maintain, and enjoy optimal oral health for their entire lives.
Your Dentist Cares About You
You can’t go very far in this profession if you’re not a people person. To be a good dentist, you need more than talent and skill. Dentistry is a deeply personal profession that requires a high level of compassion and empathy because we work with people who live with real physical and emotional pain. Our patients tell us their personal stories, and our job is to listen and help.
The number of patients who have told us that the treatment we provided changed their lives is too many to count. We see patients who experience debilitating pain when chewing food or simply smiling — daily activities most of us take for granted. We make it so they can do those things with no pain at all. Not only that, our patients go from being too embarrassed to smile and show their teeth to jumping to the front of the group when it’s picture time. That is life changing.
Your Dentist Cares About Your Health
Even when we see patients who only need routine care, we’re looking out for them in a way other medical professionals may not be. Your dentist is your first line of defense against serious health threats like gum disease, oral cancer, sleep apnea, and thyroid cancer, illnesses we can help detect in early stages and that a primary care physician may not be checking for. We’re here for our patients, whether they need extensive treatment or preventive care, because we care about everyone equally and only want the best for our patients.
The next time you’re in our office, and we ask you how you’re doing, know that it’s not just small talk for us. We really want to know. Your state of mind, recent lifestyle changes, and overall health concerns are meaningful and help us make the best treatment decisions for you. Plus, we genuinely care when a patient is doing well or struggling because we see our patients as people first.
We’re always happy to welcome new patients to our practice and love to see our returning patients every time they come through the doors. If you’ve been putting off a dental appointment for any reason or you’re due for a checkup, please call our office located in Burton, MI. You and your family are always welcome here.
