Philosophy
According to cosmetic dentist Dr. Sara Cummins, patients seeking aesthetic treatments want a thorough approach to addressing their concerns with solutions that will fit their busy lifestyles. “Patients today are desperately seeking practitioners who can listen thoughtfully and unhurried,” says Dr. Cummins. “They want a clear understanding of all their options, to feel valued as a human being, and to feel that their doctor genuinely has their best interest at heart.” Her aesthetic standards reflect her philosophy that healthy is beautiful and a great smile should appear life-like, not artificial. Her passion for health and wellness extends to her understanding of the link between oral disease and systemic disease, and her practice is dedicated to research and education in this area. “My team’s authentic care and dedication is apparent, and our patients are responsive to that.”

- What new services are you excited to offer?
With our new digital technology, we
are now able to provide single-visit
crowns. This eliminates the need
to wear a temporary crown and the
inconvenience of a second visit.
It’s efficient and my patients can
watch their own restoration being
made on-site - Career-defining procedure
Becoming adept at dental implant
placement has had an enormous
impact on my practice. It’s given me
a more comprehensive perspective.
I now have a thorough and synergistic
understanding of both the surgical
process and the restorative process.
This enables me to design the final
outcome and use those objectives
to plan the surgery in a way that
ensures the desired result - How do you provide the best patient experience?
Our practice has a contemporary,
spa-like feel with amenities like
smart TVs, heated neck pillows,
plush, fleece blankets, aromatherapy
candles, and complimentary
massage therapy - What are your most requested procedures?
Most of our patients want to feel
good about their health and their
smile. They’re committed to regular
preventive cleanings and they
request aesthetic services when
they don’t feel confident about their
teeth. For some patients, that may
be repairing a small chip on a front
tooth. For others, that translates
to a complete makeover using
porcelain veneers. I think what
patients appreciate about us is
that they know we can provide
those services with excellence,
no matter how large or small.
Everyone’s aesthetic sensibilities
are different, and we honor, respect
and deliver what that individual
patient sees as beautiful - How does your staff enhance your practice?
My staff IS the practice! The actual
dentistry I do is only a small part
of the patient’s interaction with
us. Every member of the team is
contributing in some way to the
quality of care we provide, so it is
imperative that we all share the
same goals. Their standards must
reflect mine for us to maintain
our high level of consistency and
performance - The most common medical myth i hear
That pregnancy pulls
calcium out of teeth
and causes cavities - My dream innovation
An endoscopy-like drilling
system that allows dentists
to sit upright and watch a
screen while they operate - Three words that best describe me
Detail-oriented, hard-working,
generous

Testimonials
"I have had major dental problems all of my life since age 2. I found Dr Sara Cummins twelve years ago and consider her a godsend! I was lucky enough to be her first cosmetic patient. She changed my life and continues to do amazing work whenever I present with a new problem. I know that without her expertise and concern, I would no longer have my teeth! She is phenomenal and I wouldn’t trust my teeth to anyone else. I still travel back from Naples, Florida because she just is irreplaceable!"
