Why a Visit to the Dentist's Office Needs to Provide Patients with Specialized Treatment Options

When it comes to dentistry, there are certain qualities that seem to perpetuate themselves across many practicing dentists as a standard way to do things. This is partially what fuels the stigma that the dentist's office is a frightening place fill with pain, sore jaws and more needles than a pin cushion.

Not all dentists are like this.

Dentistry is a field that requires professionalism, close attention to the needs of the patient and a keen insight on how the many processes of the mouth come together.

Steve Baumgart, DDS and Mike Unser, DDS are two of the few dentists that know how to utilize these three principles in perfect harmony to ensure patients have long-lasting cosmetic work and an amazing smile.

What Makes an Excellent Dentist?

There are three requirements to give patients the best dental experience possible: a warm professionalism that makes patients feel safe and comfortable, the ability to pay close attention to the needs of the patient and how to best fulfill them, and a complete understanding of how the mouth works.

The level of professionalism that exists with the care that Steve Baumgart, DDS provides is something that patients will be hard-pressed to find elsewhere. Not only does he take every step to explain his diagnosis and the potential options to solve the problems patients face with them, he does so in a way that allows the patient to become knowledgeable about the way their mouth works.

The ability to pay close attention to the needs of his patients is another quality unique to the dentists of West Denver Dentist. Many dentists follow standard procedures that may be more costly and often times unnecessary because they don't pay close enough attention to what a patient really needs. For example, it's not always necessary to put a costly and cumbersome crown on a tooth when something like onlays can do the job just fine.

The last unique trait you'll find at West Denver Dentist is the unbeatable level of dental knowledge possessed by Mike Unsere, DDS and Steve Baumgart, DDS. Both are regularly practicing dentists who stay current on the kind of advancements in dentistry that allow for a speedier recovery and treatment that lasts longer. For example, both stay current in methods that allow for the minimal amount of dentin to be removed during cosmetic restoration and techniques that allow for procedures like dental implants to be a simple one- or two-visit procedure.

Dentistry should be a profession that caters to the needs of the patient above all else. Every patient is unique, which means that it's imperative to every dentist's approach to deciding upon the best method of treatment should be unique to a patient's specific problem.
