The great thing about being a traditional dentist and the owner of Shelton Dental Center is having complete control of my practice. I don't have someone at a distant corporate headquarters telling me the equipment I should buy, the materials I should use, the restricted list of specialists I can refer you to, or someone else’s procedure for deciding what is best for you. There is no one to tell me that I must move my clients through more quickly to improve productivity---a nice benefit of going to an experienced, traditional dentist.
