"A Holistic Approach to Your Overall Health"
Dr. McBride wants his patients to have a smile that is as healthy as it is beautiful—he’s dedicated to working with his team to provide quality, holistic, health-driven dental care. He will take everything into account—your dental health, general wellness, specific needs and goals—in order to meet your needs and give you the smile you’ve been dreaming of. The Dental Wellness Center epitomizes the meaning of Holistic: "concerned with all factors, physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual, that affect health, rather than treating isolated diseases and symptoms." Thorndike-Barnhart dictionary
The mission of the Dental Wellness Center is to teach its patients about the unique nature of their oral status through a co-learning process between doctor and patient that empowers them to make informed choices regarding its future. Health is not a commodity that can be dispensed – it is the result of a dual commitment between the doctor and patient based on transparency and trust developed along a diagnostic path of co-discovery, resulting in patient confidence through the knowledge acquired therein.
