Our focus is to assist each individual in maintaining a healthy, functional and esthetically pleasing dentition over time. If you already have a healthy dentition, maintaining it may simply entail sound prevention measures such a regular visits to our hygienist and an annual examination by Dr. Watkins. In situations where your dental health is not optimal and specific problems exist, we will educate you about any dental concerns and the corrective treatment approaches that are available.
The practice is geared predominantly towards adults and is founded on the medical concept of interdisciplinary care. Simply stated, some dental problems and their treatment require Dr. Watkins to work in a coordinated way with other dental specialists to achieve a successful result. Examples might include having a surgeon place a dental implant so that a missing tooth may be replaced, or having a periodontist treat a gum condition prior to an esthetic procedure to improve the appearance of the teeth. Although each person and situation is unique, in every case we begin by establishing a plan that is designed to meet your needs and personal goals.
