To our valued patients,

We would like to sincerely apologize for the short-notice appointment cancellations and scheduling changes that some patients have experienced in recent weeks.

Due to unforeseen personal circumstances, there have been occasions when adjustments to the schedule were necessary.

While we strive to provide as much notice as possible, circumstances have not always allowed for that, and we understand the significant inconvenience this may have caused.

We are grateful for your patience, understanding, and continued trust in our team. We remain committed to providing the high standard of care our patients expect, and our staff will continue to work diligently to accommodate affected appointments as quickly as possible.

Thank you for your support and understanding.

— Dr. Joseph and Team

Hello everyone, I saw a couple of new messages about people not able to get through to the office, my apologies. We made some changes previously, however there was still an issue which I found and things should be corrected for good now. Again my apologies, as this was our "second line" so calls were not being put through to that line, so sent to voicemail. All VM is now going to one mailbox so everything should be fixed, Our email is [email protected] if you still have any issues, please let us know. The main # 9025390099 can accept texts, so if you can't reach by phone, you can text. I will update with other phone #'s that are direct lines to reception for calls and texts.

I just want to apologize for those that didn't hear back from us. I'm Very sorry that that happened. To me it is very disrespectful, although that was not the intent at all. I hope you can forgive our oversight, and please know this wasn't anything personal, it did affect quite a few people. First it was after hours, this time it was the second line. Where we get many calls, they are sent to both reception phone lines (which they should have before) so we can better take your calls.

If you are still in need, or need an appointment please reach out. We do have openings coming up for those of you who didn't have their call or calls returned. I'm very sorry, as this was a technical issue, not personal. However I appreciate it can feel personal.

Also, Feel free to email [email protected].

Other news, ♥️Dr. Saini 🎉had a healthy baby 🐥 🍼 ❤️ and she will be returning gradually in the coming months yet to be determine.

Now that I have most everyone updated on the status of their cases, except the clear aligners! I spent the weekend rebuilding the computer to run the software for the aligners, so that's coming soon. In the meantime we are accepting new patients, and we do offer wisdom tooth extractions usually with IV conscious sedation (16 & up). We offer sedation for other tooth extractions, and even cleanings if that is what's necessary for good oral health.

We have taken on a lot of new processes in the last few years, and now that they are refined, we are now accepting new patients for limited treatment (Wisdom tooth removal, implant surgery/placement, implant dentures, implant crowns and multi tooth fixed "dentures"(made of high end ceramic).

No referral is necessary, so self referral is fine, we ask that you contact the last dentist you saw for a jaw x-ray and send it to us before your appointment, that helps me assist you better. Otherwise we can get the image that day, it's just not proper to either have no radiograph, or to do a second radiograph when you've had one recently.

I will be sending out a letter to local dentists as I will be accepting limited referrals for implant placement or aligners (eg. invis@lign). This could mean less wait time for some especially with implant placement. If you'd rather get started soon just reach out. Our office phone is 9025390099 to book a consult, or email [email protected] with any questions.

I have 3 major manufacturers that make the implants I place, and if you were referred, we ensure your dentist has the tools and information they need to restore on any of our implant systems. The manufacturers are very kind to enable this to provide more options here on the Island.

We are still taking some new patients for routine dentistry as well.

I hope everyone had a nice Halloween weekend :)
