“I want my patients to love their smiles and achieve their overall oral health goals. I love being able to help patients who are extremely dental-phobic overcome their fear and trust me to help them find the right treatment for their lifestyle. I understand how important a smile can be and how every person’s ideal smile is different. It is my goal to create a trust-based relationship with each patient where I can learn what they want and cater to their individual needs.
Growing up with a dental phobia, the mere thought of a dental appointment frightened me. However, when I was a teenager, I had a dentist who actually listened to me and understood my phobias, and changed her ‘normal’ routine to hold my hand and make me feel better. From that moment on, I knew I could help people by providing personalized, customized care and connecting with each person—listening and giving them what they needed from me that day.
I feel truly blessed to have been given the opportunity to help educate patients on a daily basis about ways to improve their lives through better overall health and oral health. We all have a calling to nurture and mature, and I know that God has blessed me with the ability to help people with their smiles.” – Dr. Melina Morrison.
