Two Hour Drives Each Way

The average dental patient will drive 5-8 miles to visit a dentist.

Yesterday, two different patient each traveled more than 2 hours to have direct bonded resin restorations.

Two HOURS. One patient has been my patient for more than 30 years while the other patient has been with me for 5+ years.

Why would people travel that far for routine dentistry?

1. Because they trust me.
2.Because they know that I will take care of them.
3.They know that my work will last.

Despite the fact that my office is located in Saratoga Springs, the overwhelming majority of my patients do not live in Saratoga Springs.

If you believe that every dentist is the same, you would never travel 2 hours in each direction and you would never be MY patient.
