Only One Patient At A Time

One of the most unique services we offer you is complete, personal attention. When you schedule your appointment, we make sure you are the only patient scheduled for that time in our office on that day. No one else. Not even emergencies.

We care about each one of our patients so much that we only see one patient at a time. You get our full, undivided attention. That is true for any procedure whether it is a routine cleaning or a full mount rehabilitation.

Five Star Concierge Service

At The Dental Design Center, each patient is a welcome guest. Your comfort is a top priority. You will be treated to our five star concierge service at every visit, which includes drinks, warm towels, professional telephone answering service while you’re in our office, neck massage, and your choice of entertainment (iPod and iPad hookups, satellite radio, noise canceling headphones, a vast collection of music CDs, televisions in all operatories, and movies). Patient treatment chairs are equipped with ergonomically designed neck pillows, so you can relax in comfort. We value your time and run exactly on time 99% of the time.
