Your Comfort and Safety Matter Most
If you have anxiety about treatment, we will attend to your fears and make your visits comfortable and enjoyable. You never need to feel embarrassed about any dental problem, appearance, or any past trauma you may have experienced at a dental office. Our dental team is compassionate and understanding, and you will appreciate the level of care we give and how we provide it.
As a new patient, you might be scared, concerned, or just simply aggravated when it comes to joining a new dental office, and that’s perfectly normal!
Dr. Ionescu takes great pride in his ability to administer painless anesthetic injections. He realizes, though, that some people become anxious just at the thought of receiving a shot. If you or a loved one become nervous when you need dental care, we have solutions that will relieve your stress. That is why we take the time to know you first and get acquainted.
- We first and foremost listen to you and acknowledge your needs and desires.
- After performing a comprehensive new patient examination, we design a treatment plan for you, and explain to you, in detail, the priorities of your dental appointments, the steps, and the importance of oral health as part of your overall health.
- We will answer all your questions to your complete satisfaction and will not give up on you until you are completely happy and pleased with the functionality and appearance of your smile.
It’s a promise!
We never take any risks when it comes to your good health.
- You can be assured that all the instruments we use during your treatment are either discarded after a single use or sterilized in our state-of-the-art sterilization center.
- Reusable instruments are sterilized in an autoclave that is monitored by an outside lab. This ensures that the highest levels of cleanliness are maintained for your safety.

We will diligently work with you to maximize your dental insurance benefits. For patients who have no insurance, we offer a dental savings plan that can make all your dental care more affordable.

Regular checkups are an important part of maintaining a healthy smile!
The American Dental Association recommends a visit to your dentist every six months for regular checkups and routine teeth cleanings to keep your teeth and gums healthy.
We understand you have a busy schedule, so when you’re preparing to visit our office, please remember your appointments may last about 60 minutes or even more! Unlike most dental offices, we see fewer patients every day and we budget time generously in order to pay attention to details, and to avoid rush.
Please take a minute to print and fill out the patient information form before your first appointment:
