COMMITMENTS TO YOUR DENTAL HEALTH

Dr. Helmkamp has designed our practice to encompass a wide range of restorative and preventive services. Moreover, at the heart of our care is a genuine concern for each patient we treat. Our practice is dedicated to these principles:

Commitment To Dental Health

Our goal is to take patients at any stage of dental health and form a partnership as we work to restore them to an acceptable level of comfort and function as well as beauty. Dr. Helmkamp has been practicing for over twenty years and benefits our patients with his experience, knowledge, and skill.

Commitment To Stay Current

As your team of dental health professionals, we continually take courses to better ourselves. We are knowledgeable about new techniques and provide our patients with the best equipment, materials, and infection control that a modern dental office has to offer.

Commitment To Individual Attention

The key to receiving all the benefits of good dentistry is to develop a positive, long-term relationship with your dental providers. Our goal is to build a foundation of trust by treating patients as the special individuals they are and by customizing care to their specific needs. By teaching preventative techniques and emphasizing follow-up appointments, we can monitor your completed dentistry and ensure it is properly cared for.

Commitment To Prevention

It is unfortunate, but it seems that the present health care system is not really "health care but is "disease care". This is the biggest downfall of the managed health care system. Dentistry, on the other hand, has made gigantic strides in the prevention of dental disease (fluoride, sealants, flossing, routine maintenance visits). Dental disease is almost 100% preventable. People do not realize this. Our goal is to allow you to spend the least amount of time and money maintaining your oral health for the remainder of your life. Our job is to work with you to create a healthy environment free and resistant to disease so you can properly take care of your mouth at home. There is virtually no reason why anyone cannot keep their teeth for a lifetime.

Commitment To Treatment

We are committed to a standard of excellence in the care our patients receive and in the organization of our practice. We know from education and experience that completed treatment is vital and that excellent dental health contributes greatly to the quality and enjoyment of life. The benefits of a happy healthy smile become a reality when you join us in making your completed treatment a priority. Your commitment toward treatment completion enables us to work efficiently and provide you with the attention and care you seek and deserve. Incomplete treatment leads to misunderstandings, loss of teeth, and further disease.

Commitment To Appointments

An appointment in our schedule with your name on it is a bond of trust that we will be here to serve you and you will be present for this reserved time.  We schedule only one patient for an allotted period of time to meet your specific needs.  If, for some reason, you need to change your reserved appointment, please call during normal business hours (we do not accept recorded messages as appointment cancellations or changes).  We and our family of patients cannot tolerate chronic appointment changes, cancellations, or broken/failed appointments as this hurts three- you, another patient, and us.
