ABOUT US
Philosophy of Patient Care
In our office, we treat every patient’s oral health and dental experience like it was our own. We take time at the initial examination appointment to review each patient’s concerns and questions, point of view, history, and listen to the direction they wish to go with their care. Together, we create a plan that meets the established goals. We believe all patients have the right to decide what is best for them.

Providing Today's Dentistry
Dr. Havel’s philosophy is to never stop growing as both a dentist and person. She enjoys learning and invests time and money into learning new techniques. Her favorite courses are those sponsored by the Pankey Institute, The Spears Group and The American Academy of Oral Systemic Medicine. She also participates with study groups. Dr. Havel believes if we continue to learn, study, and take our time with patients while working in a calm, relaxed, and humorous caring atmosphere not only will she continue to love what she does….patients will love what she does as well. She believes we should always work for quality, not quantity and have the skills to do the best job possible for her patients.
​
Uncompromising Safety
​
Infection control in our office is of utmost importance, especially with the COVID-19 pandemic. To protect our patients and ourselves, we strictly maintain sterilization and cross contamination processes using standards recommended by the American Dental Association (ADA), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and the Center for Disease Control (CDC). We are following all recommendations for the COVID-19 outbreak released by the CDC.
OUR SERVICES
Anxiety Free
We recognize many people have anxiety about visiting the dentist. We believe this anxiety is real, and it is our mission to eliminate it over time. We start by designing the office with comfort in mind. Patients will always receive the personal touch of a private practice. We use painless techniques and are licensed to practice conscious sedation dentistry for patients that are very fearful. It is our goal to make this a positive experience every person can pursue throughout their lives. Easing your anxiety is our pleasure and we take pride in it.

The Health Journey
​
Every person is in a certain place regarding their health and has goals for their future regarding their health. Quality preventative dentistry is essential for optimal personal well being. Understanding the effect of the mouth on the body and how disease processes and medications effect the mouth is a passion of Dr. Havel’s. Yearly, she attends a three-day conference at which the latest scientific findings are discussed by medical doctors and dental professionals to create collaboration and best treat patients overall health. In this way, she has the knowledge to help patients achieve the wellness they seek.
