PATIENT EDUCATION ... 2nd to NONE
The Team at PLAZA HEALTH Dentistry prides itself on the delivery of a 1st Class Patient Education Experience. As stated earlier in this website, we take the time to use visual aids, computer photos, digital xrays, patient information sheets and models to explain all of your treatment options.
Dr. Schlotz, is a leading St. Louis Cosmetic - Implant dentist, and cares deeply about offering a complete Treament Plan with a thorough informed consent including risks, benefits of treatment vs. no-treament. BEST-BETTER-GOOD Treatment Plan Options are offered so that you, our valued patient may make the choice that best suits you. Dr. Schlotz is also very creative with treatment options -- so that money can be saved or so that the appointments are spread out over time ... making wished-for treatment a reality.
Dr. Schlotz is such a firm believer in Patient Education he writes a patient information type articles in the Call Newspapers of South Suburban St. Louis.

We firmly believe that the more you learn.... the more informed your treatment decisions will be. This eliminates unnecessary costs that are typically associated with making the wrong treatment choice.
Importantly, whichever course of care is chosen the dentistry will be of optimal quality.
