We are a dental practice devoted to restoring and enhancing the natural beauty of your smile using conservative, state-of-the-art procedures that will result in beautiful, long lasting smiles! Dr. Askari succinctly sums up her philosophy: “It’s all about the patient.” It’s why the highly regarded doctor who holds advanced degree from University of Michigan as well as a fellowship in the AGD has centered her practice on sedation dentistry. She considers it both an effective means of encouraging people to reverse years of neglect and to become more proactive in maintaining good dental health. “Fear of the dentist is usually rooted in a bad childhood experience,” Dr. Askari says. “But we’ve come a long way from the days when a simple filling or extraction meant excruciating pain. The trend is towards easing a patient’s anxieties on the one hand, and providing a comfortable experience on the other. We focus on the emotional well-being, in addition to the physical.” A breakthrough in ensuring emotional well-being is Calmistry™. sedation makes cosmetic work painless and more accessible. Dr. Askari applies her considerable expertise to identifying the underlying problem at the outset, focusing both on physical repairs and aesthetics. Diagnosis and treatment are tailored to the individual patient. A preliminary bite analysis can also lead to the correction of other problems, such as teeth-grinding, before they lead to long-term, costly dental work. That holistic approach applies to every service we offer. The focus isn’t only on treating symptoms, but also the disease or defect of the oral system causing them. Physicians from other branches of medicine frequently refer patients to Dr. Askari for help in achieving a healthier mouth. Achieving that goal lowers a person’s risk of future episodes and may even lead to a longer life. Many dental procedures can now be performed by laser, and Dr. Askari incorporates these safe, less-invasive techniques.
