 A Note from Dr. King:

 “Thanks for taking a moment to look at our website.  I've been practicing Dentistry for 6 years, and have had the opportunity to learn from a great many people, fantastic doctors and educators alike.  

At King Dental Care, we take pride in the friendly and comfortable environment that we strive to maintain. It is our desire that each patient have a good experience every time.

 I recommend treatment plans according to a healthy mouth baseline.  This means that every patient is recommended the same care (that being ideal dental treatment) for each finding (problem).  I feel strongly that my purpose as a dentist is to enable my patients to achieve a healthy mouth through excellent and high standard dental care.  Once the problem list is identified, I do my best to discuss the problems that are present, the consequences of each problem, and the solution(s) to those problems.  Working with each patient, we develop a treatment plan that fits their goals, and when the patient is ready we move forward with the dental treatment that is necessary to eliminate dental disease.

 I strive to provide dental care at the highest level, and make it as comfortable and low stress as possible.  We provide sedation (oral conscious sedation) for those patients who may need some help overcoming their dental fears, and in many cases can complete most treatment plans in one setting if it is desired by the patient.

 I use surgical telescopes (8.0X power), over 3 times the magnification that most dentists use, during every operative procedure, which allows me to be that much more discerning, move that much more quickly, and ensuring all dental disease is removed, and that every dental restoration is up to my standards of care.

 For nearly 4 years I have been providing CEREC dental care (see the link on our home page), including single visit crowns and other restorations, and we have moved into LASER dentistry, and Invisalign, and dental implants.

 I enjoy the treatment, the challenges, the attention to detail, and the interpersonal relationships with our patients that I get as a dentist. Most of all, I enjoy the opportunity to serve others.  Most people don't feel like a cavity needing a filling provides an opportunity to serve, but if I can help that person become more healthy by removing the dental disease, it's service in my book.  

 If you should have any questions, please feel free to contact me directly.  Our front office team is always willing to assist with any questions as well.”
