What Does It Mean to be 'Family-Oriented'

There are several different kinds of dentist. Not only do you have the classical medical divisions of oral surgery, orthodontics, periodontics, prosthodontics, endodontics, and pedodontics, but there are also different kinds of simple everyday 'DDS' dentists. You have your dentists that thrive on serving single clients with high-end demands and matching purse strings, your dentists that specialize in Medicare clients with the most basic needs, and you have family-oriented dentists that handle the bulk of American dentistry.

But what does it mean to be family-oriented? Here at Dr. Eric Johnson's office, we have a simple policy: if it makes a family's life easier, it's family-oriented -- and we strive to be family-oriented in all aspects of our work.

Your Time Is the Best Time
The leading challenge faced by the modern family, of course, is time management. Our office is open 7am two days a week, and 8am two days a week so we can take care of most children's dental needs in time to get them off to school in the morning or after school. For extraordinary circumstances, contact Dr. Johnson about an off-time appointment.

Trust and Communication
The foundations of any relationship from true love to that one between a dentist and his client, trust and communication are critical, and these are two things Dr. Johnson's office holds in high regard. Our goal is to ensure that you always know what's going to happen next -- both yours and our responsibilities to each other going forward. And suffice it to say, we pride ourselves on being trustworthy: if we tell you something, unless a true disaster occurs, it will happen.

Handling Your Issues
Of course, you can't be family-oriented if you can't deal with the problems that a typical family is going to bring you. That means more than just typical dentistry, because the 'typical' family needs more than just a yearly scrubbing and the occasional retainer these days. Your son or daughter expects to be able to look perfect for her prom, and there's no reason you should have to go to a special dentist to make it happen. At Dr. Johnson's office, we offer aesthetic, implant, and general dentistry to provide the full range of needs your family is likely to come up with across their lifetimes.

Are we a family-oriented dental office? We're certainly doing everything in our power to make it so. Drop by for a chat and find out for yourself!
