Transparency and Openness

- Transparency and Openness -

To celebrate the launch of our revamped website (wmdental.ca) and our series of informative articles, we feel that it is appropriate to begin with a discussion of Westmount Dental's stance on transparency and openness, and how fundamental they are to putting you, as our patient, first.

Many people have been faced with this situation: Your car is getting routine maintenance and the mechanic says, "I'm sorry but your engine has a problem that needs to be repaired." And you reply, "I don't understand, my car runs fine, I don't hear or feel anything wrong." Would looking under the hood help you validate your mechanic's claim? Sure it would - if you knew what to look for.

What if we could help you look inside your mouth and see exactly what your Dentist sees? Wouldn't that allow you to make a more informed decision as to how you want to proceed?

At Westmount Dental we believe that a healthy and long-lasting relationship with any patient must be founded on trust earned through education. And what better way to understand your situation than with the ability to see exactly what your Dentist is talking about with a real-time image of your tooth, magnified to more than fifty times, and viewed on a monitor from the convenience of your dental chair.

Our intra-oral digital camera is one of the tools we use to keep you actively involved in your oral health and gain your trust. This specialized camera allows us to diagnose conditions much earlier than with unaided visual inspection and therefore, allows us to recommend preventive treatment options at a much earlier stage.

The most obvious benefits of early interceptive treatment are undergoing procedures that are less invasive and less expensive than if these conditions were left to progress.

Additionally, our professional team will always take the necessary time to discuss your treatment options, review the advantages and disadvantages of each, discuss the risks and consequences of not proceeding with treatment, and provide you with the approximate costs.

Our digital technology maintains our accountability and transparency with all of our patients because you can actually see what is happening, even if you do not feel that anything is wrong.

Warmest regards,

Dr. Mark M. Buzaglo
