MISSION & VISION STATEMENT
Our goal is to provide high-quality dental care to families in one location and in one visit. Milestone Dental Group exists to provide a dental home for families where relationships and dental care will last through life’s milestones
We envision a family fun atmosphere that serves both children and adults. We intentionally designed an office that allows our dental team to deliver high-quality care in a comfortable environment that is age suitable. We aim to provide preventive care to children and make sure they get a good start to optimal oral health. Parents too often neglect their oral health due to prioritizing their children. Having both pediatric and general dentistry allows parents to receive care at the same time as their children. We will strive to stop dental disease and maintain optimal oral health.
STANDARD OF CARE
The doctors and staff uphold a high standard of care while delivering an unmatched caliber of dentistry. We provide comprehensive exams, which are not limited to dental exams, but also include regular medical history questionnaires, head and neck examinations, oral cancer screenings, and thorough periodontal (gum) analysis. This enables comprehensive treatment planning resulting in optimal dental care personalized just for you or your child. Our state-of-the-art office is equipped with the latest dental technologies to aid in delivering effective and efficient care.
PATIENT EDUCATION & PREVENTIVE DENTISTRY
Milestone Dental Group was established to provide patient education and preventive dentistry from childhood to adulthood. We work hard not only to treat disease but also to prevent it. We are firm believers that patient education and preventive dentistry constitute the core of maintaining good oral healthcare. Thus, we are diligent in encouraging our patients to visit regularly for their six-month oral cancer screening and periodontal maintenance exams so that we can constantly update their medical history and X-rays, go over personalized brushing and flossing techniques, and provide regular cleanings and fluoride treatment.
FURTHER EDUCATION
We are always students of dentistry who are eager to learn more! We are committed to furthering our education to expand our knowledge and skills in dentistry. The field moves quickly and is always changing; therefore, we attend lectures, meetings, and conferences to stay up-to-date on the newest technologies, equipment, and techniques. We want you to be confident in our abilities as skilled clinicians!
TECHNOLOGY
Milestone Dental Group is a patient-centric office. The purpose of our cutting-edge technology is to serve you and your family more efficiently, predictably, and safely. This reflects how we strive for the excellent care!
- Digital charting and X-rays improve efficiency and effectiveness. Digital X-rays require 90% less radiation than the standard dental X-ray film, making it safer for our patients, but providing better resolution and more precise detail at the same time.
- Cerec CAD/CAM technology - allows completion of crowns in a single visit for qualifying teeth. No more mouthful impressions and temporary crowns!
- Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT)- 3-D X-rays for much-improved imaging allowing more accurate diagnosing and treatment planning.
- Iris Intra-oral Camera - capturing high-definition images of your teeth allows you to see what we see and provides better recording keeping.
SAFETY & INFECTION CONTROL
Your safety is absolutely important to us. We protect our patients and ourselves with updated sterilization equipment and by strictly adhering to guidelines provided by the Center for Disease Control (CDC), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and the American Dental Association (ADA).
COMMUNITY SERVICE
In addition to providing outstanding care to our Milestone Dental Group family, the doctors are active in providing dental care to those in need. They have traveled abroad countless times to set up mobile clinics and provide dental care. They are also involved locally, caring for countless patients at the Union Gospel Mission shelter and annually in Mattawa, Washington, which is located in central Washington. Combining their love for people and for dentistry is a large part of who they are.
OUR CARE
DENTAL IMPLANTS
Dental implants are arguably the best treatment option for replacing missing teeth. Implants are placed and integrated to the jawbone. Well-anchored and sturdy, they look and feel extremely natural. Placing “screws” in your jawbone does sound intimidating, but patients at Milestone Dental Group are always pleasantly surprised by how easy and comfortable the procedure was. If you are missing teeth, call us for a consultation today!
CEREC - SAME-DAY CROWNS
We know your time is valuable. That is why we provide CEREC technology, an easier and faster experience for our patients. With CEREC, we can complete your crown, bridges, or veneers in one appointment. No more messy impressions or lose temporaries! A digital image is taken, allowing a crown to be designed on a computer. The design is transferred to a milling machine in the office and fabricated in minutes!
CONE BEAM COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY (CBCT)
Conventional dental X-rays are 2-dimensional images. CBCT provides a 3-dimensional X-ray image allowing our doctors to diagnose more accurately and better plan your treatment. As a result, we are able to provide dental care more safely and predictably!
