Welcome
Welcome to our website and practice! I hope this site will be a useful tool for you if you are considering visiting our practice or if you have already become a part of our dental family. Our mission is to honor Jesus Christ in all we do and will try to apply that to our daily work in dentistry.
More specifically, we will work together to help you:
- Understand your concerns.
- Understand your particular dental health needs and find solutions that will fit into your budget of time, energy, and money.
- Understand your role in the process so we can get the best results. This usually includes important education and training in home care skills, equipment, compliance with instructions before and after treatment, and learning how to decrease inflammation through nutritional and life style choices (see the section on healthy living).
"Beautiful Smiles Begin from With-in" is a key concept because it is really is not possible to have optimal periodontal health if you are not healthy. Despite what the insurance industry has said, your mouth is part of your body! We must consider the whole person in our pursuit of dental and general health and especially the role of the immune system and inflammation. There are several things we can do to reduce inflammation and this section reviews some of them and sites important medical resources that you can read and study for yourself. Dr. Peavy has prepared the slide show titled, "Ready to be Healthy?" and a word document that goes along with this topic. It is a compilation of many books and is a work in progress that we hope will help you along your path to better health!
