We treat <strong>PEOPLE<\/strong>, not just teeth.<\/p>\n<h2>Our Philosophy<\/h2>\n<p>The SMILES philosophy is this: we treat people, not just teeth. This isn\u2019t just a cute phrase we throw around &#8211; our entire business model is based on this idea. What does this mean for our pediatric dental patients?<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>We schedule a generous amount of time for each visit, and we <em>take <\/em>the time to really listen.<\/li>\n<li>We work hard to educate. Our goal is to provide families with the tools and knowledge they need to put a positive oral health care routine into practice. In dentistry, as with so many other things in life, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.<\/li>\n<li>We are conservative in our approach to restorative dental treatment. If we don\u2019t believe treatment is absolutely necessary, we won\u2019t recommend it. Period. This \u201cwait and see\u201d approach, when possible, means the world to our patients and continues to be the standard of integrity and excellence we are known for.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>The Smiles Of Austin Difference<\/h3>\n<p>When you walk through our doors, you&#8217;ll instantly become part of the Smiles of Austin family!
