About Our Dental Practice

Comprehensive dental care is the backbone of our patient treatment and is a significant part of our office philosophy. Dr. Wooddell believes that it is very important to thoroughly examine a patient’s entire mouth, gums, and surrounding areas in order to provide a treatment plan that allows for complete and comprehensive care of the entire mouth as an important part of your body, not just a separate entity.

After performing a complete examination, Dr. Wooddell will suggest and discuss a treatment plan that is individualized for each patient. It is our goal to educate our patients as much as possible. This allows them to understand the treatment that we recommend and therefore make the best possible decision about their treatment choices.

Our Office Mission is to:

  • Provide the absolute highest quality treatment with a gentle touch, in a comfortable setting.
  • Treat each of our patients as individuals, with respect, dignity, and care.
  • Promote long-term relationships with our patients through the quality of our care and through patient education.
  • Provide one-on-one treatment; we do not double-book patients because we want to take all the time that’s necessary to treat our patients and focus on treating one person at a time.
  • Attain a level of service that will strive toward 100% patient satisfaction.
