Quality Dentistry for the Entire Family
We are a family dentist in Springfield, IL. That means we treat patients of all ages, from your youngest family members to your oldest.
For your child, this means we are just like a pediatric dentist in Springfield, IL, but with added benefits. A family dentist means your little one can keep their dentist into adulthood—seeing the same dentist Mom and Dad see.
For your family, this means we have experience working across all age groups and can easily switch gears to provide age-appropriate treatment to every member of your family.
A Patient-Centered Approach
Our focus is always patient-centered. In fact, our dentist hand-selected team members who share his approach and unique vision. We want you to feel at home with us and at ease, but we also want you to trust your treatment and the decisions you make for your smile.
Our patient focus includes educating you about treatment and oral health choices. We are never pushy, but we ensure our patients are informed.
The Technology We Use
We believe that patient care should include the latest advances and technology, especially when innovations make treatment safer and more comfortable for you.
Our technologies include but are not limited to the following:
- Digital scanning—no choky or gooey modeling materials are used to create your restorations.
- Digital imaging—digital imaging is much safer and better for the environment than film x-rays of the past.
- Intraoral cameras—This slim camera lets the dentist take pictures inside your mouth. We can share the images to explain a condition or help you choose the best treatment.
