Dr. Ross: So, people come from all different backgrounds and have different emotions and feelings about coming to the dental office. The hardest step for some of them is even just walking in the door. And we have worked with many people like that and help them get through it. Some of it’s just a matter of spending time with them and letting them talk about their past experiences and their concerns with dentistry and their smile and their health, and strategizing with them on how to make them comfortable and help them to reach their goals.
Speaker 2: At the time when it happened, I broke down and, and cried and my legs would wouldn’t stop shaking. And it was like such a relief to find somebody that would actually care enough about me to take care of that. And, it was really hard for me to, to walk through that process and, and they made it super easy. I’m so grateful. It’s like, I feel like a new person. I got a whole new life ahead of me. I regain my self- esteem, my self-confidence. I can go out into public again and smile like a normal person. I can eat foods that I, that I haven’t been able to eat in a long time.
Speaker 3: I’m very happy that I came to Dr. Ross. I initially came just for general cleaning, but she’s really kind of changed my life. She made me feel comfortable that I was in good hands.
Dr. Ross: So, our team here is wonderful. We’re very, I’m super fortunate to have worked with a lot, many of these ladies for many years. We look for people who have tremendous clinical skills.

There are some patients where we see three generations of the family and then the great grandkids come and see us. And it’s really neat to see that here at Sycamore Family Dentistry.

Don't Get Scammed When It Comes To Your Dental Health

When looking for a dental office to do a dental implant procedure, there are some things you should keep an eye out for to make sure that you don’t get taken advantage of. Some of that’s just personalities. You want to make sure that you’re comfortable with whoever’s going to be doing the work and the team that’s around them. You should have a very clear sense of what’s involved, exactly what treatment’s going to be done and what the cost to you is going to be. There shouldn’t be things that catch you by surprise or off guard, and you should also be very clear on what the timeline’s going to be, how long it’s, what your healing’s going to be like, how long it’s going to take from start to finish, and what that’s going to entail. There are many ways to do great dentistry. Technology has come a long way to support that and make it more predictable and effective along the way. And in my office, I feel that technology does help give a predictable result that you can function and smile with. So, when you’re selecting an office to get your implant procedures done in, you should feel very comfortable there. You should feel at ease with the sterilization procedures. You should have a sense of what’s going to be done every step along the way. Red flags that you should watch for would be feeling pressured to make a decision or move forward before you’re ready. You should feel that they’re upfront with you about what their sterilization procedures are, what their process are to make it a success. You should feel that you know exactly what’s included in the care and what’s not included in the care. It’s very important to know what you’re signing up for before you get started. And at Sycamore Family Dentistry, we try very hard to make that clear. We do that by making sure we have as much information as possible to generate a precise treatment plan and outline any possible things that might be needed along the way. We then are able to go over what the cost of those things would be and what’s included in those bundles. So, a dentist that’s going to be partnering with you for implants or any procedure really should be upfront with where they’re trained and what their credentials are. I went to school at UCSF, which is a very well-respected dental school. I did my implant training at Implant Pathways in Tempe, Arizona and went through their curriculum so that I can be comfortable and confident providing the care.
