Practice Philosophy

Our practice is in the business of providing excellent dentistry to our family of patients.
Our patients are responsible and willing to participate in achieving long-term oral health.
We will provide the comfort of expert and knowledgeable dentistry.
Our patients will receive personalized attention in a state of the art facility.
We are committed to helping our patients understand the benefits of achieving their ideal dental health.
The relationships that we develop with our patients and ourselves define our success.

Dr. Thompson brings this philosophy to his practice:

"I have always been interested in comprehensive restorative dental care. I decided at the beginning of my professional career to focus on delivering complete, thorough, appropriate and ethical dental health care for my patients who choose to be active participants in maintaining ideal oral health. I believe many patients really want to be as healthy as they can be and are willing to be responsible for achieving that state. I strive to create an environment where that choice is realized.

The single most important part of that practice approach is to take the time to really find out what the patient wants for themselves, determine the real presenting condition of their existing oral health, and determine appropriate long-term goals before any treatment is provided. By spending the time to complete a thorough examination at the beginning of our relationship, we are best able to find out what we can really offer our patients to help them meet their goals. We find that most patients have never even been asked “what are your own personal oral health goals?”. We insist that you think about it! Most everyone will say “I want to keep my teeth”, but I want to know “what does that mean to you?” as well as “how healthy do you want to be?”.

In trying to meet my own goal of providing a leading-edge resource for my patients, I strive to maintain my skills, my team, my equipment and my facility in the most contemporary way. I believe in realistic assessments of my patients’ conditions as well as always planning for predictable clinical success. I employ the highest caliber team members. I use the best materials and most modern equipment. I am trained in the most modern techniques. I use the best laboratories. I work with the absolute top specialists. I will give you as much of my time as you need to help you reach your goals. How healthy do you really want your smile to be?"
