"I didn't realize what difference
quality dentistry could make to the health of my teeth
and gums until I met Dr. Holevas.
I had been seeing the same dentist for more than
20 years, but I was having so many problems -- crowns
that had to be replaced multiple times, root canals,
and periodontal problems. I'd have the crowns done,
then a root canal would be needed, crown re-done --and
the problems persisted.
I was frustrated because I was so careful about
cleaning my teeth properly, and nothing seemed to help.
I was told I would need to see a periodontist, and have
root scaling and planing for my entire mouth.
While getting a root canal done I met an endodontist
who I really respected. I asked her for a referral for
a general dentist. I was referred to the same dentist
she uses - Dr. Holevas.
It was miraculous-after he replaced the crowns the
periodontal problems went away. He explained that properly
fitting the crowns, not having gaps on the sides or
other problems helped to prevent periodontal disease
because food wouldn't' get stuck in the gums so easily.
I didn't need any special procedures - just crowns that
fit right to solve my problems. I was amazed.
And the bonus is Dr. Holevas knows how to make the
shots practically painless. - plus the temporary crowns
that his assistant, Gratzie, makes rivals the quality
of any lab - they're terrific --no one will notice a
thing.
I have been so impressed with the way Dr. Holevas
runs his practice. They are a great team -- everyone
who works there is incredibly polite, kind, and friendly
- and sensitive to your comfort.
The office runs like a well-oiled machine. I'm always
amazed at how well they work together - like when they
chart your teeth. Every six months when you come in
for an exam they record the gum health on every tooth
so they can track what is going on; but it only takes
them a few minutes because they work so well together.
That is just one example of the protocols that I've
noticed. You can tell they really care about providing
outstanding care. It's the little things, like when
they have you put on glasses to protect your eyes while
working on your mouth.
Over the past two years I've seen several things
added to their standard care. Now they take your blood
pressure when you come in. For periodic exams, they
also check the glands in your neck for lumps and bumps.
They check the lips, mouth, the sides of cheeks, over
and under the tongue - and it's not just perfunctory
- they actually notice things that are different. Sometimes
I don't say anything just to see if they notice - and
they do! I'm impressed by that because it shows that
they are continually improving the care they deliver.
Everyone is well-trained and professional.
They don't have to do all that stuff. A dentist
can run his practice anyway he wants to. There's no
one watching what's done. Dr. Holevas doesn't have to
follow the latest research and implement best practices,
he doesn't have to change their procedures to add new
things or improve care -
Dr. Holevas doesn't have anyone to answer to except
his patients and his own conscience. But I think he
takes that seriously, so he continually improves the
care. I'm sure it requires a lot of effort and discipline
to stick with it. Dr. Holevas does it because he cares
about being a great dentist. And he is!"
