patient bonding
Dr. Youssef Obeid, a board-certified prosthodontist, knows just how to make people smile at his Maryland practice. “Patients feel like a part of the family because we make the experience intimate and tailored to their needs. They can get all of their dental work done in one place, where they are comfortable with a dentist they trust.”
This modern, luxuriously chic office, conveniently located in Chevy Chase, immediately sets the tone for a relaxing dental experience. The futuristic décor of glass walls, sleek white chairs, and a stone wall are accented with relaxing gray and blue colors, complemented with soft music filtering throughout to create a peaceful, upbeat environment. “When our patients arrive, we didn’t want the feel of a clinical atmosphere. Subsequently, we’ve created the look of a high-tech condo to make our clients feel like they are in a cozy household setting.”
Dr. Obeid feels that it is very important to “do your homework and look for a well-trained dentist with adequate schooling.” His cutting-edge office is paperless, with digital X-ray machines and electronic filing of patient records for immediate retrieval and a greener approach to dentistry, overall. Patients are educated about the practice via a thorough initial consultation, which includes an exam and complete set of X-rays. The second consultation involves the discussion of results and presents a variety of options for treatment, with models and pictures showcasing previous work and expected outcomes. “I have an in-house ceramist who is available on-site to fabricate restorations. I let the clients make their own informed decisions. I present all of the options and then they can decide what is best for them. I believe that dentistry is part science, part art and part customer service.
