"There really is a better way to treat patients and provide more comfort than people may have experienced in the past. I've found that a major factor in relieving the concerns of my patients is to also have the best communication between patients and their dentist. This is what really helps my patients to completely eliminate anxiety and discomfort." -Dr. Kelley Mingus

The Best Experience Starts With the Dentist

"By communicating with them and listening to my patient's concerns, I'm able to address those concerns with clear information on what to expect. That way, we can offer comfort-enhancing options, like effective pain management through medication or desensitizing gels. We know that this kind of care really works, and we are happy to say that no patient we've seen has ever expressed regret at having their smile makeover provided by our experienced and caring dental team." -Dr. Kelley Mingus, Bend Dentist of Distinctive Dentistry
