PATIENT FOCUS AND EXCELLENT CARE AT SAULT DENTAL ARTS

About Sault Dental Arts

Our mission is to provide the highest level of dental care available. We achieve our goal by offering open communication and patient focus:

We offer a warm and welcoming environment where patients feel comfortable discussing their needs.

We learn about the unique needs of each patient so we can provide optimum dental care.

We use plain language to explain the current state of each patient’s oral health, so they have a thorough understanding of what needs to be done.

We discuss all treatment options available and assist patients in making an informed decision.

We are open about the costs of each treatment option so patients can make the right choice for their health and for their budget.

We understand that time is valuable. We make every effort to stay on time so dental care does not add undue stress to a patient’s busy schedule.

We promise professionalism and courtesy in all interactions with patients.
