Comprehensive Care with Dr. Laura Harkin
Day 1: Our ultimate goal in practice is to help our patients preserve their natural dentition for life, and our commitment to delivering high-quality, preventative and restorative dentistry supports that! Comprehensive care can only be rendered successfully with proper identification of disease processes, the use of protocols and tools to mitigate or slow deterioration, and patient ownership of their oral health. Learning to diagnose and manage risk factors is an important step in ensuring predictable dentistry for both you and your patient.
