We care about your whole health

Your teeth and mouth are a single part of the complex system that makes up your physical, mental and emotional health-- and your health is our number one priority! It’s a well-known fact that good oral health is strongly correlated with good overall health. Something going on with one can have lasting effects on the others. These additional services are offered with your total health in mind.

    Let us know if you have questions or concerns about the following:
  • Anxiety visiting the dentist.
  • Extra physical considerations like a sensitive gag reflex or restless leg syndrome (RLS).
  • Any general problems anywhere near your mouth from toothaches to headaches.
  • Concerns about your general health, especially recent changes.

How can dentistry benefit your whole health?

Aside from the well-documented correlations between good oral health and strong bodies, We have a lot to thank our healthy smiles for. Healthy mouths enable us to get a good night's sleep and eat a nutritious diet. In good health, we can speak clearly or even express ourselves completely without uttering a single peep. Smiling brightly is a universal sign of peace and friendship that connects us all. When our oral health suffers, we miss it. Unaddressed oral health problems don’t just hurt, they make us feel isolated and weigh heavily on us emotionally.

Physical Health

This is the first one everyone thinks of. Having a toothache is a notoriously painful experience and may be a precursor to a dangerous infection. Physical health also includes the rest of you. Do you get frequent headaches or jaw pain? Is your bite comfortable? Many of the services we recommend are intended to be proactive and maintain your physical health to avoid future pain, discomfort and expense.

Emotional Health

How do you feel about your smile? Is there anything thing about it that weighs on your mind? Do you ever feel self-conscious about your smile? Your emotional well being is also important and we’re here to help. Share your thoughts with us and find out what your options are.

Mental Health

For some people, the prospect of visiting the dentist causes anxiety that’s so fierce it even rivals a toothache! If you suffer from dental anxiety or you’re stressing out about an impending visit or oral health problem let us know! There may be things we can do to help. Let’s get you past this.

Creating a personalized treatment plan

There’s one thing all of our services have in common and that's creating a treatment plan for you that captures all of your needs and goals, lays out all of your options and keeps you educated and informed during your treatment. It’s our intention to empower you with any information you need to make the best final decision and feel confident about your outcome. Your experience will always include the following elements:

Share with us

Tell us about your concerns or ask us about anything you’re curious about. We’re here to listen and to answer any questions you have about your oral health and the treatment options available. It’s important for us to know what your goals are and what your vision is for your ideal smile.

Hear all your options

After sharing all of your thoughts and concerns and with a completed initial examination your dentist will be able to list out the different options available for achieving your goal along with the pros and cons of each and our final recommendations. Everything will be explained clearly so that you can make the best choice for your needs.

The final say is yours

We will never start a procedure or treatment without your complete understanding and explicit consent. You have the final say in any treatment and we will work with you to accommodate your schedule so that it suits your busy lifestyle and your budget. We have your best interests at heart and are here to serve you.

Contact us today

to schedule an initial consultation & exam.

Your consultation will include an examination of everything from your teeth, gums and soft tissues to the shape and condition of your bite. Generally, we want to see how your whole mouth looks and functions. Before we plan your treatment we want to know everything about the health and aesthetic of your smile, and, most importantly, what you want to achieve so we can help you get there.

I've been a patient at Defiance for about 7 years now, and have seen them twice a year in that time. The staff are very friendly, particularly Julie and Dr. Sekhon. They've taken great care of my teeth and bring tons of value not just through their services but through their advice and recommendations as well. Definitely recommend!

Just had my new patient appointment and I only have positive things to say. From setting up the appointment to the moment that I walked out the door everything was very comfortable and streamlined. Emily at the front desk handled moat of my appointment set up and checkout which was easy and quick. She provided answers to all of the questions I had and made things pretty effortless for me. I personally think that the hygiene portion of a dental appointment is where I find the most anxiety but Tiana my hygienist was both competent and kind. She took excellent care of my teeth. Dr. Sekhon is extremely affable; he is a warm guy with a very calming presence. He speaks directly and presented his recommendations in a clear way. I have a history of dental anxiety and can’t offer any negative notes about our interaction, it was all very positive and I feel much more certain about my future of dental health. In my limited time with Defiance Dental I only saw positive interactions. Everyone treated me with kindness and respect and it also seemed like that is how they treated each other, it just seemed like an incredibly inviting atmosphere. I am thrilled to have found such a great dental office and am excited to see the new location in Old Town when it opens.

Absolutely the best dental experience I’ve ever had in my life! I never feel like they’re pushing anything on me or trying to sell a service. I always know that they have my best interest in mind. The whole team is very communicative and always make the trip efficient and very pleasurable. As a father of 4 children I almost fall asleep in the chair due to the relaxing atmosphere lol. I’ll definitely continue going once they open their new location in old town
