Patient Experience at South Temple Dental

What to Expect at South Temple Dental

Dental offices often conjure feelings of uneasiness, and discomfort. These feelings are most often due to cultural stereotypes, other than real discomfort, but can still make the prospect of your next dental visit worrisome. We have a fix. A dentist who listens to your concerns and discomforts paired with unwavering dental quality, and a conscious effort to keep the highest standard of patient experience. These will work in tandem to leave you happy with South Temple Dental.

Communication

At South Temple Dental we believe exemplar dental work should be the focal point—we also believe in the highest quality patient experience. While we are trained, skilled, and prepared to provide superior dental work, we also know that is only a piece of the good-dental-experience puzzle. We believe in more than doing the work. As a patient we want you to understand the work that was done, is being done, and will be done. We also want our patients to know ways, techniques, and commitments they can use to better their overall oral health.

Practitioner’s and patient’s communication is key to real oral-health improvements, and changes. The long-lasting effects of in-office work and daily dental care can be long lived, and lasting. We believe it’s our role to correctly communicate with you as a patient.

South Temple Dental isn’t here to solely sell you dentistry. We are here to show, educate, and provide you with the two-way communication you need for your teeth to feel cleaner, healthier, and better off throughout your life. As you are educated about your individual dental care you will have a say in decision processes.

In-Chair Care and Office Amenities

As you are empowered to be part of your oral-health decisions, we also want to provide you with the tools you need to understand, see, and use in making these decisions. In doing so, we offer some of the following in-office services:

  • In-operatory x-rays
  • Individual chair-side x-ray review
  • Intra-oral photo review
  • In addition to all necessary dental consultation

These services are how you, as a patient, become empowered through a correct understanding of your individual situation, and overall dental heath to make decisions, and treatment changes—all with the help of our staff.

In addition to the more technical in-chair care, South Temple Dental is committed to your overall comfort. We know that dental visits can be seen as uncomfortable, and even painful. We are committed to make your visit with us not only comfortable and productive, but entertaining. With some of the following tools at your fingertips, you will be able not only to be comfortable, but enjoy your time at the dentist:

  • Laughing gas
  • Dental Vibe (more information can be found here )
  • Pandora Radio
  • Kind and competent staff
  • And much more

Your experience at South Temple Dental will be more than just “dental work.” You will have an enjoyable office visit from appointment to follow up. As you consider or reconsider where and when to have your dental experience, remember South Temple Dental.

 

 

 

 

Power of Your Smile
12 May, 2024
A smile is a universal gesture that transcends language and culture, capable of expressing a spectrum of emotions from joy and satisfaction to empathy and comfort. Beyond its communicative power, a smile carries the ability to transform one's self-perception and influence interactions with others. The link between the act of smiling and a person's confidence is profound, with cosmetic dentistry emerging as a pivotal player in enhancing this expressive feature. Not only does an attractive smile impact one's appearance, but it also bolsters mental well-being and confidence, carving out a better social and professional path for many. Understanding the psychology behind smiles and the benefits of smiling can unlock a new realm of self-assurance.
 Gum Contouring
02 May, 2024
Many people dream of having a perfect smile. Beyond straight, white teeth, the shape and health of one's gums play a crucial role in achieving this. Gum contouring is a cosmetic procedure that has gained popularity for its ability to reshape the gum line, remove excess tissue to reveal more of the teeth, or make the gum line more uniform. This procedure not only enhances the aesthetics of a smile but also contributes to oral health by removing places where bacteria can hide, potentially reducing the risk of gum diseases. It's an option worth considering for those looking to improve their smile's appearance and boost their confidence.
