Dental Center of Florence
Dental Assistant
Our practice philosophy has always been guided by the golden rule, treating others as you would want to be treated. Our commitment to our patients is to provide the best care possible, utilizing the most advanced technologies in a caring environment. We make every effort to create an environment that is friendly yet professional and puts you at ease. We practice with the goal of being as conservative as possible in treatment while ensuring our patients obtain an aesthetic, healthy and stable oral condition. As a periodontal practice, we are specialists at treating anything to do with the gum and bone tissue surrounding your teeth. Periodontists are also experts in dental implant treatment. Our periodontal services include gum disease treatment, replacement of lost bone, gum grafting for receding gums and treatment for gummy smiles. We use advanced technology to help us achieve optimal results. It also allows us to use minimally invasive procedures which cause far less trauma and post-operative discomfort. These procedures also have faster healing times. Dental Assistants are an integral member of our team and help foster our clinically led culture. From being the doctor's right hand, to having the ability to connect with patients, and striving to provide the best patient experience, Dental Assistants are a key contributor to the success of our practice.
