Welcome

We understand that choosing a new dentist and dental health team is Challenging. We believe you will find our approach to be unique because it is guided by the following purpose:

To help people achieve the highest level of well-being appropriate for them and, in doing so, to enhance the quality of their lives.

This is a major departure from the way we were trained and the way most dental offices approach patient care. Instead of telling you how healthy you ought to be, we will try to help you understand your choices about dental health and then let you make a free, well-informed decision. Your first choice in this regard is how you would like to begin with us. There are four levels on which people may choose to be seen in our practice.

• Level 1...URGENT CARE People in crisis or with an emergency problem such as pain, swelling, or bleeding that need our immediate help are at this level. We see urgencies immediately, whenever possible.
• Level 2...SELF-CARE Patients who choose this level of care want a thorough examination and take an active part in the treatment and prevention of present and future disease problems. However, they usually choose repair solutions that are short range in nature.
• Level 3...COMPLETE DENTISTRY Patients at this level are similar to people described in level 2. They choose to have a thorough examination. However, they decide on a MASTER PLAN to formulate a long-term treatment plan for health and repair. These patients are very concerned about treating the causes of dental disease, not simply the effects. These patients want all dental treatment provided to be completed in the most lasting fashion possible.
• Level 4... LOOK YOUR BEST People in this group are in level 3 as far as dental health is concerned, but also want to look their best at all times. They know that their smile is the first things others notice about them and want to put their best smile forward.

We hope these levels of care make sense to you. It is not uncommon for people to begin at one level and progress to another over time. We are here to help you discover and determine the most appropriate level for you. This web page is designed to help you in that endeavor by providing good information about what ideal oral health looks like, the services we provide, the experience and expertise we have to offer, and much more.

Thank you for the opportunity to serve you.

Sincerely,

Dr. Mark R. Link and Dr. Jean-Michael Link
