Balancing Aesthetics and Sound Dental Health

By Gayl Biondi

At Palm Springs Family & Cosmetic Dentistry, every patient can expect quality care they can trust. Their experienced team of dental professionals is dedicated to providing a welcoming environment while delivering comprehensive care using the most up-to-date techniques available for patient comfort and exceptional results.

Scott Shepherd, D.M.D., has been practicing dentistry since 1994, starting as a commissioned officer in the Navy and Public Health Service. He worked in a variety of settings, including rural health clinics and remote villages above the Arctic Circle. As a partner in a Vancouver, Wash., practice, Dr. Shepherd participated in research and testing of new dental technologies and techniques.

Sarah Enright, D.M.D., attended Tufts University School of Dental Medicine in Boston. She continued her education at the Pankey Institute in Florida, training for complex dental cases, learning advanced TMJ splint therapy techniques, and expanding her skills in all phases of dentistry and surgery.

The extensive experience and training of these dental professionals benefit patients by minimizing the need for referrals to specialists for basic services. When referrals are called for, the doctors work closely with a select group of top specialists to coordinate patient care seamlessly and effectively.

The menu of services includes root canals, extractions, bridges, dentures, partials, crowns, and tooth-colored fillings. They also specialize in veneers, inlays and onlays, as well as cleaning and ZOOM3 whitening services. Patients are especially pleased with the use of technologies such as digital X-rays, which produce 90 percent less radiation than standard X-rays, and the intraoral camera diagnostic tool that provides an entire mouth view on a monitor. Patients see for themselves what work needs to be done and may submit the findings to their insurer for quicker acceptance.

The belief that providing patients with as much information as possible helps them make informed decisions about their oral health. At Palm Springs Family & Cosmetic Dentistry, satisfied patients are the most valuable asset.
