Have you heard the catchy singing commercial that describes Delmarva Dental Services as “Your One-Stop Dental Shop”? Recently, Dr. Joe Harmon, business assistant Diane College, and hygienist Dorothy Page explained in detail many of the outstanding benefits and innovative practices that make DDS the ideal dental office for everyone in your family. Here, in summary, are the top ten reasons why you should visit DDS for all your dental care.
1. Exceptional people.
You’ll be greeted by a superb staff of warm, caring professionals. The doctors, hygienists, and other professionals at Delmarva Dental Services understand that caring and friendliness go a long way toward providing you with a pleasant and satisfying experience. “We work hard to find employees who are warm and friendly,” said Dr. Harmon. In fact, DDS selects its staff using the Myers-Briggs personality test, which suggests whether a person is well suited to excel in a particular position, whether it’s arranging financing, helping you relax, or educating you about your treatment options. When you visit DDS, you’ll receive superior care from exceptional people.
2. Extended evening and weekend hours.
See a doctor sooner, at a time that is convenient for you. When you phone for an appointment, you can expect to see a doctor quickly, perhaps even on the same day if you have a dental emergency. At DDS, four doctors and eight hygienists serve you according to your schedule. On most days, Delmarva Dental Services is open from 7:30 a.m. until 8:00 p.m. On Saturdays, doctors and staff are ready to serve you until 2 p.m. And because there are always multiple doctors and hygienists working at DDS, you may be able to schedule simultaneous appointments for several members of your family.

7. A focus on patient education.
DDS’s easy-to-read website provides you with smile-saving information before and after your doctor visit. Would you like to learn about the best ways to clean your teeth? Are you interested in knowing which foods and drinks do the most harm to your teeth? Do you want to learn more about dental implants or cosmetic surgery? These topics and dozens more are addressed in clear, easy-to-understand articles (many written by Harmon and College) at DelmarvaDentalServices.com.
8. Money-saving discounts.
DDS offers limited-time savings on selected services. Through January 2012, new patients can save $100 off the price of an initial comprehensive exam, and all patients can save 10% on cosmetic dentistry and $200 on crowns, bridges, and implants. Discounts change over time, so check the website periodically for new offers.
9. Interest-free financing.
There’s no reason to delay your dental care. DDS can help you apply for interest-free financing with terms of three, six, 12, or 18 months.
10. Headache-free insurance processing.
Relax. The professionals at Delmarva Dental Services will do all the paperwork for you. And DDS works with over 2,700 insurance plans.
