We Are an Open Book – Read On!
We believe that being upfront with patients is the only way to run a dental practice. Consequently, the following frequently asked questions are answered completely and honestly so you can make the right choice when deciding on your next dentist in Durango.
IS LASER DENTISTRY MORE EXPENSIVE?
No, it is not. We do not charge more for the laser. People may actually save money because the laser is often more efficient, that means appointments are usually shorter so less work is missed. There are however, specific treatments which can only be completed by the laser for which there may be an associated cost.
WHAT IS YOUR PRACTICE PHILOSOPHY?
When Dr. Miner founded his practice, he did so with a desire to make it a family-friendly place. We encourage all our team members to give back to the community and always keep the patients’ needs top priority. We will listen to you, and recommend treatments that meet your individual needs.
