Employer Description:
A Patient Focused Practice We firmly believe that dental treatments must start and end with the patient's needs. We take the time to get to know our patients and understand their situation - what concerns they have and what treatments they are and are not willing to pursue. Our aim is never to upsell procedures and treatments but to provide our patients with information and opportunities allowing them to make confident choices about their dental health. Consistant Results without Compromise We want every patient to be a case we can proudly point to as an indicator of our dental care quality. While each patient case is unique, and some require more extensive work, we strive to help each patient achieve optimal dental health. Every patient deserves our best work, so we always aim to provide the best possible care for our patients. Patient First Our friendly and approachable staff work hard to create a comfortable and welcoming environment. Whether a patient has been coming for their entire life or is visiting for the first time, we greet them with warmth and endeavour to help them feel at home
