Our Patients

Nurse with patient

Patients seek dental care for a number of common reasons – to live better, to look better and to enjoy life more.

  • A study performed by the Mayo Clinic found that people who keep their natural teeth actually live longer.
  • A phone survey of 1,000 adults found that 90% of the respondents believe an attractive smile is an asset to one’s career.
  • In that same survey 58% of the respondents said they were more likely to trust someone with an attractive smile.

One reason patients seek dental care at SunBird Dental is because we understand the connection between a healthy, beautiful smile and our patient's physical well being and personal self confidence. As a patient of SunBird Dental we know you expect

  • To be cared for as a person, not a just a mouth that needs treatment.
  • To be able to make informed choices about your dental treatment, and have those choices respected by your doctor and staff.
  • To have your questions fully answered before you are asked to make any decision.
  • To be allowed to relax, to be open with your doctor and staff and enjoy relationships with them as people, not just dental professionals.

All of our patients were created equal, but they weren't created the same. You are a unique person and the right treatment for your dental conditions may not be right for anyone else. When designing a plan for optimum care, Dr. Payne takes into account such factors as your bite, the amount of force the teeth will have to withstand, your anatomy, the natural shape of your teeth, your general health and any medications you may be taking. These factors may also alter the ideal order for treatment completion as well as the method and materials we use to complete your treatment.

Not only do we collaborate with other dental specialists, we work closely with other health professionals such as chiropractors, nutrition councilors, cardiologists, oncologists and massage therapists. We coordinate biocompatibility blood serum tests and hair analysis with McPherson Memorial Hospital so that we can customize our treatment recommendations and the dental materials used to offer the healthiest choices for you. Regardless of whether treatment is performed in our office or elsewhere we will be monitoring your progress and coordinating your care to make sure you get the best.
