"You make more friends in two weeks by becoming a good listener than you can in two years trying to get people interested in you"
-Dale Carnegie
Donaldson & Guenther's goal is to first and foremost serve our patients with exceptional customized care.
A new patient consultation appointment is the best way to discover if Donaldson & Guenther is the right dental practice for you. We take the time to listen to your dental desires and address your concerns. We do a thorough exam followed immediately by sitting down together and looking at the images of your smile and teeth, discussing findings from the exam and showing you what today's dentistry has to offer. We respect that different people have different preferences and priorities, so we plan and organize your dental care with that in mind. Once we know what the short term and long term goals are, you will discuss your appointments and financial arrangements with Ann in the front office. She is an expert in dental benefit plans and at customizing arrangements so people can get the dentistry they desire.
Some people know they are in great shape and just want a check up and cleaning as their first appointment. We do that. Others see us for a brief consultation about implants, cosmetics, sleep apnea/snoring or as a second opinion. We do that too. We also see new patients to immediately address an urgent dental need.
