GHP Oral Health & Dentistry Awards 2018

20 GHP / 2018 Oral Health & Dentistry Awards , First Impressions Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics Best Paediatric Dentistry Practice 2018 - Midwest USA Drawing on the vast experience of its team, First Impressions Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics is the largest privately-owned group of pediatric and orthodontic specialists in the state of Wisconsin. As part of our overview of a selection of the winners from this year’s Oral Health &Dentistry Awards we caught up with Dr. Thomas Turner to find out more. Thomas is a partner with First Impressions, together with Dr. Corey Brimacombe, Dr. Josh Spiegl, Dr. Ned Markey, and Dr. Maggie Chicka. Founded in 1995, today First Impressions has nine convenient locations throughout Wisconsin, in Wausau, Weston, Rhinelander, Medford, Stevens Point, Shawano, Appleton, Green Bay/Suamico and Bellevue. Each provides unique support, whilst aiming to achieve the same mission: to provide specialized, comprehensive oral health care for infants, children, adolescents and patients with special needs delivered in a state-of-the-art, child-friendly environment. As Thomas highlights in his initial comments, the firm is dedicated to ensuring that children of all ages enjoy a lifetime of healthy habits along with a healthy smile. “At First Impressions, everything was designed to make going to the dentist an anxiety-free experience – from the brightly- colored walls to the child-sized furniture. As pediatric dentists, we have received advanced training in managing pediatric oral conditions, in addition to the behavior, growth, and development of children. Our entire office is committed to providing the best care possible for our patients. We truly want our patients to enjoy visiting the dentist and reinforce lifelong healthy dental habits.” Central to achieving this ambitious aim is ensuring that the firm has the best possible dentists in the industry working at its various locations, and that they are all committed to providing exceptional quality service. Thomas is keen to discuss the firm’s dedicated team and how committed they are to providing top-quality treatment to every patient they have the privilege to treat. “Our dentists are dedicated to maintaining the highest levels of accreditation and remain up-to- date in their field by frequently attending courses and lectures on a variety of topics. They have presented locally as well as internationally. Our entire team is dedicated to providing a state-of- the-art, child-centered atmosphere for their patients. First Impressions pediatric dentists are advocates for children and their oral health care experience.” Ultimately, thanks to over 23 years’ experience in the market, First Impressions has an exciting future ahead, as Thomas is proud to conclude. “Over the past year, our rapid growth and the maturation of our practice has affected the waiting time between determining the need for additional care such as fillings for cavities, extractions, etc, and the ability to provide it. As such, we have been keen to add an additional doctor to our practice to reduce wait times in scheduling. We are proud to announce that another board- certified pediatric dentist is joining our practice shortly. “As part of this focus, we have also just announced our intentions to open another practice in Marshfield, WI, in the summer of 2019. Looking ahead, we also have several other desired locations we would like to expand to following this latest move, and we look forward to providing patients across the state with the exceptional level of service and treatment that we have come to be renowned for.” Contact Details: Company: First Impressions Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics Contact: Tom Turner Website: fidkids.com
