We Know You | Personalized Dental Care

We know you. At Adler Cosmetic & Family Dentistry we pride ourselves on the fact that we don’t just know our patient’s mouth but know them as a person. It is not unusual to hear Susan, our hygienist, asking her patient if their dog Bubba is recovering well from surgery or to hear Dr. Adler swapping stories about a recent children’s hockey game. We do our best and have a genuine interest in getting to know our patients, so they never feel like a number. We want them to walk into a welcoming and inviting environment.

We get to know our patients but there are a few things that patients may or may not know about us. It is only fair that if we know you that you know us as well. Here are just a few things that may surprise you.
