Why choose Narrative Dentistry?

We’re a small family-owned private dental office. You’re not a number. You’re a patient. You won’t be in a waiting room full of patients or an open bay of operatories. No crazy corporate rules or policies. Just honest & transparent business practices.

You’ll be provided a treatment plan based on your narrative, your dental needs. The doctor will actually spend time explaining your radiographs, dental problems, & provide you with options & recommendations. We don’t push treatment. We believe in providing the tools & knowledge for patients to make an informed decision on their health.

We actually know your name. We want to know your narrative, & we care about you as a person. We believe in mutual respect, & we’re keeping the traditions that have fostered generations of family & friends since 1980. We prioritize people & relationships over material things.

We don’t double book patients. Your appointment time is not shared. You will have quality time with the doctor to discuss your concerns & ask questions. You won’t be rushed, & we want to make sure you leave with a better understanding of your dental needs and options.

Our schedule is by appointment only. We offer flexible scheduling options if you need early AM appointments, weekend appointments, or even holidays.

Some of our patients come from long distances. That may mean special blocks of appointments within the week to get things done.

We’re willing to work with our patients to help make their experience a positive & efficient one.

We are not a high-volume, mill dental office. It’s important for us to foster relationships & provide ample time for our patients to deliver quality dental treatment & prosthetics. We don’t believe in rushing treatment. We pride ourselves on personalized, honest dental care.

Our team can speak a total of three languages in the office. This greatly helps with communication especially with our respected older patients & patients newer to the country. These languages include English, Vietnamese, & Spanish.

We celebrate diversity & respect all cultures!

Our in-house dental lab technicians are the doctors! We can fabricate & repair dental prostheses such as complete dentures, removable partial dentures, temporary crowns, surgical dental implant guides, clear retainers, fixed & removable orthodontic retainers, occlusal guards, bleaching trays, & more. Having a in-house lab has many advantages such as quicker turnover times & custom prosthetics.

Treatment plans are highly dependent on the doctor’s training, education, expertise, & philosophy. Each office will have different fees & policies. It’s your right as a patient to choose a dental provider & office you trust. We’re here to offer our recommendations & answer your questions. We welcome second opinions.

There’s no hidden agenda here. Our practice philosophy emphasizes the importance of honesty & clear communiction. You will know what each procedure is, what is planned for each appointment, and how much it’ll cost. We make sure our patients understand their dental treatment & investment on their oral health.

When you choose a private, fee-for-service office, you can be confident that your treatment options aren’t limited by insurance. Your treatment is based on your narrative, your needs. Quality over quantity. Freedom of choice over insurance denials.

We love digital dentisty. Our technologies include digital radiographs, digital panoramic radiographs, intaoral scanning, CAD/CAM software for planning restorative & surgical cases, in-house 3D printer, and CBCT. These digital technologies improve the efficiency & overall quality of care.

CBCT technology captures a multitude of images of your head & neck from various angles to create a complete 3D picture. It provides detailed information that a traditional 2D X-ray cannot. In our office, a CBCT scan is the standard of care for various procedures such as dental implant surgery, oral pathology evaluations, & more.

We don't have "open bays" of dental chairs. You won't see a row of patients next to you. You won't hear screaming kids next door. You will have your own private dental room equipped with a television to watch YouTube or listen to your own music during treatment. Ask for a pillow if you need more neck & back support! Don't like the sound of the dental instruments? We have ear plugs for you! Your comfort is important to us.
