Philosophy
A plan is developed for each patient to explore what is possible and clearly define the steps to realize that plan. A plan could be as simple as routine six-month hygiene appointments or as complex as coordinating interdisciplinary care among specialists before proceeding with final esthetic restorative care. With your goals in mind, Dr. Forbes will approach your dental care in the same way he approaches his own.
