Taking good care of your teeth is important to keep them in top shape, even…
Hallmarks of Cooper Family Dentistry
Perhaps you are a potential new patient considering a visit to our office, or maybe you are a current patient wishing to easily share with others exactly why Cooper Family Dentistry is your first choice for dental care. We have outlined here three core hallmarks of our practice so that you can get to know us better.
Most of our client base comes to us as some type of referral, either by word of mouth or by generational succession in families. It is one distinctive element of who we are and we think it speaks volumes about the level of care and satisfaction we aim for in each patient interaction.
Family Practice with a Clear Purpose
Dr. James Cooper started this practice in 1977. His son, Dr. Jordan Cooper now works alongside him in a complementary role as partner in the practice. Together they are able to offer a broader range of care to our patients than on their own. Their practice philosophies also are in full alignment: to provide the best dental experience for our patients through personable care and to improve your quality of life as a patient.
Relationship-Oriented Care
We take pride in the enduring relationship we have with our patients and their families. Many of our patients are multi-generational families, in that we not only treat one generation of a family, but rather two or three generations. Dr. James Cooper has a long-standing tradition of patient care, knowing all his patients by name. If you’re seen by one of our dentists and have had a difficult case, we’ll call and follow up with you to see how you’re doing. We do this because we truly care about your well-being, and because relationships are very important to us. We want to provide a level of care that is unmatched for our patients.
Gentle and Kind Approach to Care
We are known for not only providing the best possible level of care, but also in employing a gentle and kind approach in our procedures. All of our dental hygienists in particular are very gentle with their patients. New patients leave their initial cleaning saying, “that is the best cleaning I have ever had!” We want you to be able to relax during your procedures and are committed to your comfort and ease.
When you are seen at Cooper Family Dentistry, we see you as part of our extended family. It is our goal and aim to serve you to the best of our ability and to improve your quality of life in a number of ways. But don’t take our word for it, come and experience it for yourself!
