that is understandable to you. Education regarding your teeth and gums, and how best to keep them healthy, is an aspect of care that dentists and hygienists provide, making sure their patients understand that better teeth means better health. During procedures, it’s common for staff members to explain what they are doing and what’s coming next so patients are aware of the aspects of their treatment as they’re happening. This approach not only increases patients’ knowledge of dental care, but helps them feel more connected to the experience. While the atmosphere of clinics ranges between practices, a clean, uncluttered environment is expected. Many clinics feature a neutral colour palette that promotes a feeling of calm. Combined with the care of compassionate professionals, these elements enable patients to enjoy their visit, removing the long-standing stigma of fear associated with going to the dentist. The team at Cowan Heights Dental stands behind, and appreciates, the advances of modern dentistry. All three dentists at the clinic enjoy a modern lifestyle and are active members of the community, dedicated not only to their practice and patients but to their family lives, as well. Throughout the year Dr. Batten cheers on his sons in their hockey, lacrosse, soccer and music endeavours. Dr. Lutz challenges himself in his dental career as well as in his passion for the outdoors, where he spends time sailing with his wife in CBS, running and biking. Dr. King spends much of his free time outdoors with his two young children, and enjoys running in Bowring Park. Whether patients are seeking dental care for a cleaning and checkup, or require more extensive dental care, knowing that modern dental clinics serve patients with expert care and compassion offers them peace of mind.
