About Salem Dental Studio
Our primary concern is the retention of your natural healthy teeth. We focus on preventative dentistry, which aims to reduce the amount of dental treatment necessary to maintain a healthy, good-looking smile.
Preventative dentistry helps you to keep your teeth by preventing three major causes of tooth loss � decay, gum disease and tooth wear. Your efforts, combined with those of the dentist and hygienist, will enable you to achieve and maintain healthy teeth and gums and avoid the traditional problem of fillings and extraction.
Salem Dental Studio and The Art of Smilemaking
Dr. Steven Lind is the practicing cosmetic dentist at Salem Dental Studio servicing Salem, Oregon and the surrounding areas and at the Art of Smilemaking in the Portland/Metropolitan Area. If you are in the Portland area, you will get the same quality and service at our Portland office, The Art of Smilemaking, that you will in the Salem office, Salem Dental Studio. Throughout our site you will find references to both offices because we are one and the same. To learn more about our Portland office, go to TheArtofSmilemaking.com.
Our Practice Philosophy
"State-of-the-art dentistry is so much more than caring for teeth and gums. It�s about how confident a person feels speaking and laughing with people. How comfortable one feels giving or accepting a kiss. How youthful and dazzling you want to look. It�s very rewarding to be able to say that I can boost your confidence, expand your comfort zone, and help you dazzle at every stage of life."
Committed to Dental Education
This is such a dynamic time to be a dentist. Innovations and refinements in technology and procedures are introduced continually. To maintain a leading edge, I continually invest in my educational foundation with advanced training in the newest techniques.
This last year I have spent 9 weeks at the LVI Institute of Dental Studies leaning advanced techniques in cosmetic and functional dentistry. TMJ symptoms and bite analysis really are the core issues of why many people need cosmetic reconstructions. The new computer software techniques coupled with MRI quality x-ray of the joints now allows excellent data to diagnose and treat all cases from simple smile make overs to full mouth reconstruction.
