What is Patient-Centered Dental Care?

cosmetic dentistry Decatur

A question from the team at Decatur Smiles in Decatur AL: What is your perception of the patient-dentist relationship? Would you characterize it as one-sided? In other words, does the dentist examine the patient’s teeth, choose the course of treatment, and perform the procedure, all while the patient is just along for the ride?

It Starts With Atmosphere

We don’t do things that way. You will learn the difference when you first walk in our doors. You will discover a friendly atmosphere. We don’t push patients through as if they were on an assembly line. We see you as a whole person, not just a disembodied mouth full of teeth. We want to create a long-term relationship that benefits you and helps us do our jobs well.

We Listen

When we examine a patient and find a problem that needs treatment, there is rarely only one solution proposed. We take as much time as necessary explain the options and answer your questions. By listening carefully and communicating clearly, we can fully assess the many important factors that influence your present and future oral health.
