Dr. Bernard Lynch is interested in not only being one of the best dentists for his patients, but also ensuring the long-term overall health and comfort of the patients in his care. He has spent more than a decade pursuing the latest technology and advancements in dentistry in order to help his patients feel more comfortable when they sit in his chair. While there are thousands of options for family dentists, Dr. Lynch has been recognized as one of the top dentists many times over due to his constant attention to the feelings and mind-set of his patients while they are in his care. “Many patients recall their experiences with traditional dentistry. They remember discomfort and pain. So, from our first contact with a new patient, our staff is committed to making that person comfortable.” – Dr. Lynch In order to ensure that each person that Dr. Lynch has contact with has the best dental care, it is essential to take a holistic approach to dental hygiene, and ensure that all possible problems are addressed well before they lead to more trouble and a much more costly experience. Dr. Lynch’s passion and drive centers around two basic concepts: finding new and creative ways to help his patients become comfortable in a dentist’s chair, and the theory that overall oral health is more than just the occasional cleaning or filling. “Good dentistry is not only about brushing or good hygiene. We’re here to keep a patient’s oral health in the best possible condition. In many, if not most, new patients that means restoring the patient’s oral health to optimum condition.” – Dr. Lynch Dr. Lynch believes it is essential for his clients to know that their dentist cares about gaining as much education as possible to ensure they stay safe, comfortable, and end up with the best possible smile for their whole life.
