How does our world view dental care? Pop culture hasn't exactly given dentists the best reputation. Think about the last dental professional you saw portrayed in a movie, book, or TV show - we're betting it was a scary, over-the-top performance. In reality, dental care should be a wonderful and comfortable part of your preventive healthcare. Dr. Kim Okamura and her staff are always looking for ways to help patients fall in love with dentistry. Read on to learn more about a few of the ways we show appreciation to our patients, and work to improve their experiences in the dental chair.

Thank You Program for Patient Referrals

We're so grateful when our patients bring their friends, family members, and coworkers into our dental community. When you recommend our office to someone new, we like to show our thanks. We'll send a gift card to the business of your choice in return. We appreciate all that our current patients do to help our practice grow.

Making Your Dental Treatment More Comfortable

In addition to patient-friendly programs, we strive to make treatment itself as comfortable as possible. The technology and tools used by Dr. Okamura allow her to provide superb dentistry while putting patients at ease. A few of these practices include:

  • Dental sedation - Sedation dentistry soothes patients' nerves to make treatment go smoothly. Even those with dental anxiety find that sedation transforms their experiences and helps them see dental procedures in a new light.

  • Digital x-rays - Digital x-rays create clear, detailed images while exposing patients to a lower amount of radiation. They have the added benefit of being more easily shared and enhanced, for explanation and coordination of treatment.

  • Laser dentistry - Dental lasers are easy on tissues while getting to the root of your dental problems. Laser periodontal treatment helps cut down on your healing time and stimulate new cell growth.

  • Patient-dentist communication - You should be an active part of your dental treatment. Whether providing restorative, cosmetic, or preventive care, Dr. Okamura and her staff will always keep you in the loop. We hope to provide you with the resources you need to build healthy teeth for life.

We are always accepting new patients, and would be thrilled to welcome you into our community. Ready to learn more about treatment with Dr. Okamura? Please, get in touch today! Contact us online or at (206) 362-3200.
