Welcome to Integrated Dental Arts
The Ideal Combination of Premier Care and a Family Atmosphere
We named our practice Integrated Dental Arts because we believe in integrative care:
the unity of doctor, team, patient, and community
the synthesis of beauty and function
the link between mouth and body
and the union of dentistry and medicine.
This is the foundation that allows our family of patients to experience harmonious, healthy smiles for life.
Individualized Care for Whole Health
Trust, compassion, understanding, and communication: This is what our patients expect. It is also the foundation we lay to integrate the entire individual, not just their teeth. We take into consideration your systemic health and how one system integrates with the other. For example, if you are missing teeth, we don't simply give you a standard replacement. We consider why you lost your tooth, your health history, and your age. We then educate you on your options for improved health and aesthetics, and show you how we can help with our range of services from naturally functioning dental implants, to cosmetic bridges and dentures. The treatment choices are in your hands.
Building personal, and medical, relationships allows us to understand your desires and needs, develop an individualized and efficient treatment plan, and, ultimately achieve a healthy smile and a healthy body...
