Our approach

Dr. Slater's Approach to Patient Care

Dr. Slater knows that not everyone loves going to the dentist, and that's okay. She takes a gentle, judgment-free approach with every patient, whether you're due for a routine cleaning or you're coming in for the first time in years. Many patients tell us they finally feel comfortable in a dental chair after seeing her, and that comfort matters just as much as clinical skill.

Part of that comfort comes from the little things, like the in-office therapy dogs available for patients who want some extra reassurance during a visit. If you'd like to hear directly from patients about their experience, take a look at our Patient Testimonials page.
