Healing the Whole Person

THE SOCIETY OF SMILES PROTECTED

Delay in quality care can turn a treatable issue into a medical emergency.

The speed and precision with which the staff moves around the clinic can be likened to a well-choreographed dance. With each step, a patient is seated, given a comprehensive exam, diagnosed and treated. It’s an impressive feat to witness. But what’s even more impressive is the sheer volume of patients that are seen each year in our clinic. Last year, the clinic saw over 8,000 appointments. That’s roughly 30 appointments per day. So, there is a reason why Dr. Ken Snyder and his team are fast on their feet—they have to be.

There’s more to our Dental Clinic than meets the mouth. Untreated dental problems can have devastating effects on one’s overall health—and self-esteem. Working with local schools, we identify children with serious dental needs along with the inability to address them. For these kids, we provide comprehensive treatment plans that include teaching them oral hygiene skills. Thanks to the help of volunteer dentists and dental professionals, we’re able to provide adult dental services as well, ranging from cleanings and fillings to extractions and denture fittings.
