From mildly relaxed to

"I thought I was asleep"

You can be as relaxed as you wish.

Our goal:is developed from our Christian beliefs to Love God and our neighbors (you) as ourselves. We feel that the Lord guides His children to Family Dental Care and are to be treated as brothers and sisters in Christ. Intimately related is our desire to follow His command in Matt 28:19-20
19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." NIV

Our hope is to help you keep your teeth all of your life, as beautiful as possible, comfortably, at the least cost possible.

We want you smiling

We invest a great deal of time, energy, thought and money to use the techniques, materials, and equipment that will serve you and us in the best possible way.

For example, we have used fiber optic headlights and magnification for many years to improve the care we give. Now we are using a Microscope to produce an even better result. Esthetics, health and more comfort during the procedure and better healing and comfort post-operatively are our aims.

We believe that you will be best cared by our being able to treat the majority of your needs right in our office. We offer most dental services including implants, cosmetic dentistry, and Crown & Bridge. For other services you may require, we have a team of specialists that we work with to accomplish your goals. We have a program we call

Comfort Control which uses many techniques to keep you as comfortable as possible including IV sedation, Nitrous Oxide, The Wand, Stabident, Relaxation techniques, Hypnotism, Earphones, TV, and others.

FINANCING can extend payments over a longer period of time and keep the payments lower and more affordable.

We are a team of experienced, caring people that have worked together for years to learn to care for you in the best way possible.

COMPREHENSIVE DENTISTRY THE PANKEY INSTITUTE

( Read more about the philosophy we embrace )

Levels of care:

Lifetime Dentistry The Best

Common Dentistry Adequate

Somewhere in between Dentistry

Partial Dentistry You choose which part of treatment to accept

Example of different levels of care:

Time:

I can prep a tooth in 2 or 3 minutes for a crown.

Or I can spend whatever time it takes to get it as perfect as possible ( 20 or 30 minutes or more according to the situation )

I can spend 15 to 30 minutes adjusting the bite

Or I can take what ever time it takes. 2-3 visits or more , each visit about 1 hour,

Magnification and Lighting:

I can use my regular reading glasses,

6X Magnifying glasses with fiber optic glasses

Microscope with its Xenon light

Lab Fees:

For a single crown, we can choose labs that charge from about $90, 175, 250-350, or more.

Techniques:

Impressions

I can take one impression that includes the upper and lower teeth and the bite at once

I can take an impression of the

upper teeth

lower teeth

Bite.

I can use materials that cost different prices

I realize that each of us is unique.

We go through stages in our life, of desires, understanding, needs, financial ups and downs, health.

You have to help me understand where you are at this moment.

Then we can work together to get the results you can and want to achieve, in relationship with what I can provide for you.

Philosophy:

Reminder:

We will be using the microscope in our office.

With the Microscope and Intraoral camera we can see early signs of Wear & Tear, worn spots, cracks, ect. and treat them

B-4 you become aware of discomfort, sensitivity, pain, and breaking of teeth, gum, bone, joint problems, and headaches,

ect.

T-SCAN

I don’t know of another general dentist in the area using the microscope

Using the best lab and they use Microscopes

Using all the best material available.

Dr. O’Keefe’s long and studied experience.

Take whatever time and visits to make this as perfect as possible

On call for emergencies and questions at any time.

Full treatment will give the results of

Looking good

Feeling good

Last a long time.

Finance

The Finest Treatment Plan offered

( I call it Life Time Dentistry because you have the best chance to keep all your teeth, all your life, comfortably )

includes:

Time – Whatever time it takes to produce the best result

Materials – The Very best that are available regardless of cost

Techniques – The latest and greatest learned through time, study, and courses taken

Microscope and Magnifying Glasses

http://www.familydentcare.com/microscope_dentistry_.htm

Lab – The Lab that adheres to the same principles, expects, and produces the same results

Results include

Highest quality

Most Beautiful Results

Greatest Comfort

Longevity

Healthiest

All of these conditions can be altered to reduce the cost.

We understand that you decide how you want to be treated. We can produce good, adequate results by altering the following ingredients.

We understand that in most cases treatment can be added to, upgraded when conditions allow a higher level of care.

Much less time devoted by the Dr. and staff to produce the finest results.

Less expensive techniques and materials to reduce the cost.

Lab: instead of using a lab of the highest quality, one which adheres to our highest demands, which results in higher charges, we can send your case to a lab that can get an adequate result for about 1/3 of the cost

Eliminate the use of Microscopes, Magnification, and superior lighting conditions so every step does not demand the time, effort, and results that are commanded under the tremendously improved Visibility.

I realize that different people at certain times in their life either desire and/or can’t understand, or afford varying levels of care. With that in mind, I have learned over the many years of dental practice to try and match what I can afford to give them for their decision level.
