His patients have excellent experiences with him, one stating,”They were wonderful at Dr. Douglas’s office. Prior to my procedure, they had me come into the office just to review everything that would happen on the day of the dental work. On the day of the dental work the front staff welcomed me and tried to make me feel comfortable. Dr. Douglas and his assistant worked diligently on my mouth explaining what they were doing and always reassuring me. When I was feeling a little anxious with the dental work, the assistant would just put her hand on my shoulder to reassure me that everything would be ok. If you have to have major dental work, I would highly recommend Dr. Douglas and his team. I would even drive a great distance to come to this office.”
To earn a Doctor of Dental Surgery Degree, students generally need a four-year undergraduate education. Afterward, they go to dental school for another four years of educational, clinical and dental laboratory training. After graduating with a Doctor of Dental Surgery Degree, dentists have to pass rigorous examinations. In the United States, dentists must pass the National Board Dental Examinations, which is a national written exam. They also have to pass a state exam to be licensed to practice there. With such extensive education and examination requirements, patients can rest assured that any dentist with a Doctor of Dental Surgery Degree is well qualified.
General dentists provide a wide array of services that are vital to patients’ continued health. These services include: preventive services, including helping to maintain good oral health by stopping disease before it takes hold in the mouth; restorative services, such as receiving timely and appropriate treatment when a problem is identified; as well as cosmetic services, including performing a range of cosmetic procedures, such as teeth whitening, cosmetic bonding, and even porcelain veneers. General dentists also address overall health concerns as oral health is seen as the mirror of general health. In fact, some dental problems may reflect issues in other parts of the body and vice versa.
