Company Pillars

 

Access to Care 

All care provided by our dentists will assimilate the established standards of practice and scientific evidence to develop treatment strategies relevant to each patient's specific oral health needs, not to their insurance. Our experienced and skilled clinicians provide preventive, restorative, orthodontic, surgical, and emergency dental care, and services and offer a range of sedation options to use during treatment. 

​

Disease Management 

We believe in evidence-based and individualized disease management for both dental and periodontal conditions. Our providers utilize current CAMBRA and AAP methodology to properly diagnose and treat their patients in accordance with the standard of care and best practices. This risk-based approach to disease management emphasizes individualized treatment decisions based on the patient’s behavioral and biological characteristics, with a focus on prevention and maintenance. 

​

Quality Assurance and Risk Management 

We believe in the importance of Quality Assurance and Quality Improvement. We have an executive clinical board employed to formulate and develop standard operating procedures that reflect the principles of evidence-based dentistry and the standard of care. These providers systematically synthesize the literature to create new practice guidelines and will judiciously modify any current practice guidelines in accordance with new systematic reviews. 

​

Clinical and Regulatory Compliance 

We believe maintaining standards of compliance is fundamental in achieving quality care and clinical excellence. We have developed and sustained detailed practices to ensure consistent adherence to all regulations enforced by federal and state agencies pertaining to infection control, patient and employee safety, radiation control, fire safety, and chemical safety. 

​

Mentoring, Training and Continuing Education 

We believe in investing in the training and development of our employees. Our professional training programs give all employees the knowledge and skills to excel in their roles. Our employee development focuses on career growth with instruction in leadership, strategy, and mentoring. 

​

Marketing 

Our marketing team focuses on helping us grow and retain patients. They develop market-specific campaigns reflective of an evolving consumer market through effective multi-channel marketing strategies.
