Our
Philosophy |
| We never forget that healthy and happy patients are the
greatest asset to our practice and the reason we come to work each day.
Patient satisfaction is our number one priority and we work to make
every aspect of your affiliation with this office pleasant, |
 |
from the
initial telephone communication through the successful completion of
treatment which leaves you feeling and looking terrific. |
| Unlike most dental practices, we have stressed quality
over quantity in developing our patient base. Of course we are delighted
when our satisfied patients refer their friends and relatives to us, but
neither you nor the people you refer will ever feel like cogs in a
machine or open mouths on a dental conveyor belt. In this practice, we
get to know each patient as a unique individual and tailor treatment
accordingly. Our extensive new patient examination (100 minutes) allows
Dr. Eisenberg to take down a complete medical and dental history and
allows the patient to express his or her dental concerns and priorities. |
 |
We consider patients our partners in achieving their oral
health. We work to develop in each of our patients a high "Dental
IQ" - in other words, they appreciate their dental health and value
the high quality dental care required to ensure it. We likewise respect
our patient's intelligence and their right to understand and |
participate
fully in choosing appropriate treatment. With each patient we discuss in
detail the special conditions of his or her mouth and explain necessary
procedures. When several treatment options are available, we'll
delineate the pros and cons and work with the patient to decide upon the
best treatment for him or her. We welcome questions and promise
straightforward answers. We believe that mutual respect and honesty
create the kind of long-term practice-patient relationships upon which
patient health, and this practice, thrive. |
Some dental offices spend all day putting out fires -
squeezing in emergencies and treating toothaches. Our emphasis on
comprehensive, preventive care reduces the incidence of emergencies
among our patients. We devise a long-term plan of action specific to
each patient, bringing his or her mouth to full dental health and
keeping it that way with a regimen of regular treatment and care.
| If and
when an emergency does arise, patients appreciate being able to contact
Dr. Eisenberg immediately through his emergency answering service.
You'll never feel like you're out of touch when you're part of our
family of patients. Whether on the internet or in the treatment room,
this practice stays on the cutting edge. |

Clinical Treatment
(Top of Page) |
| In accordance with our philosophy of care, clinical diagnosis and
treatment is made on a comprehensive basis. While a specific
condition such as a toothache might cause someone to seek care at
our office, it is to the patient's detriment to treat solely the
toothache and not make an accurate assessment of the overall oral
condition. "Tunnel vision" dental treatment is unfair to
the patient and is poor practice. Once a diagnosis is made we are
trained and equipped to expertly take care of most oral conditions
and associated treatments:
| -periodontal ("gum") disease |
| -endodontics ("root canal treatment") |
| -TMJ disorders -cosmetic bonding, crowns and bridges |
| -dentures and partial dentures |
| -inlays, onlays and basic fillings |
|
|
| Part of your yearly physical
 |
Each dental appointment is also an important component of a
patient's general health care. Besides checking the obvious such
as teeth and gums, Dr. Eisenberg also routinely screens for
tongue, palate, and throat disorders such as cancers, cysts and
tumors. |
Early detection by the dentist of these oral conditions
and referral to the appropriate medical professional enhance
patients' chances for successful treatment and a complete
recovery. |
|
| Hygiene Department
| Our hygienist has many important roles to play. Her thorough
cleanings help conscientious patients maintain their long-term
dental health. She is also the first line of dental defense,
identifying developing trouble spots in need of treatment before
they become serious. |
 |
She is an educator, teaching patients
proper brushing and flossing techniques for optimal oral hygiene
between visits. And patients with more advanced periodontal
disease depend on her quarterly periodontal charting exams to
numerically monitor the status of the disease. |
|
| Dental Laboratory
 |
Dr. Eisenberg does much of the lab work on-site in the office
laboratory. We also work with an outstanding dental lab
technician to ensure that our crowns and bridges meet the high
functional and esthetic standards set by the dentist and the
patient. |
On occasion the lab technician personally meets with
the patient to perfectly match tooth shades so you have a smile
you can be proud of. Our patients look as good as they feel! |
|
| Specialists
| There are some occasions on which we choose to refer a patient
to a specialist. We have established professional relationships
with the finest specialists in the city, with whom we work
closely in treating particularly difficult cases. Patient care
is enhanced by this close cooperation between the specialist and
the general dentist, which also makes us uniquely prepared to
maintain the patient's long-term dental health after specialized
treatment. |
