THE PRACTICE
Dr. Thibaudeau and Dr. Paulson pride themselves on making every dental experience as pleasant and comfortable as possible. Fear of the unknown is very powerful. Educating patients about treatment beforehand is the best way to make them feel the most comfortable. Dr. Thibaudeau, Dr. Paulson, and their staff thoroughly explain their treatment philosophy and procedures. If they have questions before or during the procedure, we will carefully reexplain and won't begin until they feel fully confident. Building trust reduces fear and affords a pleasant dental experience.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
We are committed to understanding each patient’s personal needs, and to meet his or her expectations and desires. We strive to deliver patient satisfaction through technical excellence, financial responsibility and an exceptional concern for patient comfort. We provide service in an enthusiastic manner, in a welcoming and friendly environment.

Our Comprehensive Exam is key to developing unique treatment plans to achieve our patients’ end goals. In most cases, the results of the examination are analyzed by Dr. Thibaudeau or Dr. Paulson and shared immediately. Certain cases may warrant mulitple appointments to complete the indicated treatment plan. In every case, our goal is to provide complete transparency by ensuring that our patients understand all options available to them.
