That is the whole pitch. Meet the five dentists.
Three reasons people do not leave
Most practices are one or the other. Being both is the reason households stay with us for decades rather than switching when the work gets complicated.
The problem: cosmetic dentistry is barely taught in dental school, so most general dentists learn it on patients.
Both Dr. Aaron and Dr. Brandon are graduates of the Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies, the largest post-graduate cosmetic dental facility in the world. Dr. Brandon also holds a Fellowship from the Academy of General Dentistry. Veneers, makeovers and reconstruction are designed here, not ordered.
The problem: most people do not avoid the dentist because of the dentistry. They avoid the room.
A coffee bar. Massage chairs. Paraffin wax treatments. An in-office hand and foot massage therapist. A television in every operatory. Nitrous oxide and oral sedation if you want them. The office was rebuilt in 2009 to feel closer to a day spa than a surgery, and it still does.
The problem: the office that suits your Tuesday does not suit your daughter’s Thursday.
Bellevue, Kenmore, Everett, Kirkland and Lynnwood. Same records, same standard, same family. Book wherever is easiest this week, and your notes are already there when you arrive.
We see children from age three, and a large share of our patients bring the whole household to the same office. Treatment, timeframes and cost follow a full examination.
