Dentistry by Design "Dentistry By Design" is the concept of healthy teeth for life- by design, not by accident, luck or chance. It starts with our New Patient Comprehensive examination where we begin by getting to know your goals and desires. We take our time to look at your whole dental situation, tooth by tooth from your gums to your joints, everything you need and everything you want. We then sit down with you and discuss your treatment options. Together we finalize your treatment plan and work with your insurance to maximize your benefits. For those without insurance we offer convenient monthly payment plans. Then in as few appointments as possible we'll restore your mouth back to health while you relax under a warm blanket listening to soft music or watching TV. You can even choose our safe, easy sedation option and rest comfortably right through your appointment. We'll use the best materials available today so that you can get back to your busy life and not have to have any more dental work done for a long, long time. Dr. Arvanitis' Dental Philosophy 1. Minimally Invasive Dentistry. We believe that we should only do the minimum amount of dentistry required to ensure optimal dental health. 2. Conservative When two treatments exist for the same condition, we choose the treatment that removes the least amount of tooth structures. 3. Esthetic Dentistry should not be visible to your friends. 4. Cosmetic We believe that a beautiful smile enhances self esteem. When people feel good about the way they look it can change their whole outlook on life. We've seen it happen. Our Team Our team are all highly trained to be able to answer your questions and assist you with anything you might require. In addition to Dr. Arvanitis, Dr. Karen Lee provides family and general dentistry. We also have dedicated staff whose only job is to educate and assist our patients to thoroughly understand all of their treatment options and all costs associated with their treatment. We believe that every patient should have all the information they require in order to make truly informed decisions about their care. Once again thank you for taking the time to get to know us better. We'll let the photographs do the rest of the talking.
