Two dentists, two hygienists, and no sales targets.
Independent, and staying that way
Fernbank has been independent since it opened in 2014. Corporate groups buy practices like this one regularly and the offers get politely declined, because the first thing that changes afterwards is always appointment length and the second is always targets.
Forty minutes for a check-up is the whole difference. It is long enough to look properly, explain what we found, and answer the question you were too embarrassed to ask in the first ten minutes.
Nobody here is on commission
No clinician at this practice earns more by recommending more. That single fact removes the only structural reason a dentist has to over-treat, and it is worth more than any promise on a website — including this one.
We refer more than most
Implants, orthodontics, complex extractions and children needing sedation all go elsewhere. A practice that does everything is either much bigger than this one or doing some of it occasionally, and occasionally is not good enough for something permanent.
14 Fernbank Row
Street parking on Fernbank Row itself, and a lot behind the row that is free for two hours. Ground floor, no steps, and a bathroom on the same level.
The address and the practice are both invented — this is an example site, not a real place you can visit.
