Cornerstones - Our Philosophy of Practice

Excellence, integrity, compassion and education are the cornerstones of Scott Dentistry. It is my purpose that as a solo practitioner, I provide dental care to the citizens of Lubbock and the South Plains. Comprehensive dental care is the standard at which my  patients are treated. My patients are searching for a family dentist who does not limit his dental practice to certain areas of dentistry. In addition, I will associate myself with specialists who have the same philosophy of patient care. Thus, when a patient’s dental need is  beyond my abilities, referral to the appropriate specialist will be made without concern. 

Just as a house is only as strong as its cornerstones, so is Scott Dentistry. Excellence, being the first cornerstone, will be apparent not only in my dentistry but also in my staff, facility, lab and other associations.  

In all human affairs there are efforts, and there are results, and the strength of the effort is the measure of the result.
James Lane Allen

Integrity is an essential component for developing, maintaining and growing relationships with patients. It is my purpose that when treatment is recommended or rendered to a patient, they know, without a doubt, that my best effort was made to provide them with the  best dentistry possible.

It is my purpose to treat others with extreme compassion. I understand the public’s fear  for dentistry, thus I want my patients to experience the comfort, respect and autonomy  unequaled to prior dental visits. 

Let God love you through others and let God love others through you.

Education is essential not only for patients but for all team members of Scott Dentistry. First, patients must be aware of their responsibilities in achieving and maintaining optimal oral  health. This will be achieved through opportunities for patient education with printed material,  multimedia presentations, internet references and oral instruction and demonstration. Second,  continuing education will be a requirement for all team members of Scott Dentistry to ensure patients are offered the best that dentistry has to offer.  

I consider it a blessing to provide dental care for this community. Therefore, it is my commitment to provide dentistry in the most ethical, honest, and caring way possible.

There are no mistakes. The events we bring upon ourselves, no matter how unpleasant, are necessary in order to learn what we need to learn; whatever steps we take, they’re necessary to reach the places we’ve chosen to go.
