Our First
Meeting: In order to build a relationship of
mutual respect and understanding, it is worthwhile for us to take
time getting acquainted with one another. We are interested in
knowing you as a person and want to understand what is important to
you. It is important for you to give thought to what you want for
yourself, today and in the future. After we are both clear on the
dental goals you have set for yourself we will examine your mouth to
establish a diagnosis.
Diagnosis is the
most important step we will take in our journey together. Together,
we will learn about the conditions present in your mouth and what
they mean. Observing and understanding the conditions present in
your mouth will enable you to make an informed decision about your
dental future. After completing a thorough examination, we will then
decide whether additional evaluation is appropriate. This may
involve taking x-ray pictures, making plaster models of your teeth,
and performing diagnostic tests.
Developing a plan:
Once we know the condition of your mouth and have a clear
understanding of your short and long term goals we can cooperatively
develop a plan to guide us in the restoration and preservation of
your dental health.
What our clients have said about their
experiences at the Center for Dental Wellness:
" I have been a patient of
Dr. Lerner for a few years and have nothing but the highest praise
for him. He is a true visionary. An artist and a master of his
chosen profession -Holistic Dentistry. He and his staff deeply care
for each patient on all levels, not just their teeth. The time and
attention given is remarkable in this day and age. I gladly travel
an hour each way to get such care. - T. Halsey, Larchmont N. Y.
"I have been a
patient of Dr. Lerner for several years. His knowledge and expertise
in the latest procedures of dentistry, his friendly nature, and
qualified staff ; create an atmosphere of relaxation and certainty
that, as a patient, you are in good hands . - V. Logan, Cold Spring N.Y.
"Dr. Lerner is
the most caring and gentle dentist I've known, and I have known many
dentists. I had a terrible phobia before I
walked into his office 5 years ago. From the very beginning, I felt
secure in his hands because of his genuine concern for my well
being. He and his wonderful staff have always made me feel special.
I gladly travel 45 minutes to see them. They're great." -J. Conti,
Lake Carmel, N.Y.
"Dental wellness is a state in which
the mouth and the rest of our being are in balance and harmony. The
mouth is a micro-environment of the body with a profound potential
to reflect and influence the health of our whole person. It is an
essential and even wondrous part of our anatomy.
When dental well-being exists, the
mouth is free of any source of systemic or dental stress.
Dental stress can be caused by: decaying
teeth, infection of the teeth and gums, allergy or toxicity related
to dental materials, electromagnetic fields created by reactive
dental metals, discoloration / disfigurement of the teeth, and
imbalance of the bite or misalignment of the jaws."
