Delivering dental care with safety and comfort in a way that reflects the highest quality of care is the guiding principle of Dr. Daniel Juma and his staff at McKinney Dental & Implant Center, located at 3100 South Ridge Rd., Suite 300 in McKinney.
Dr. Juma understands that most people pursue dental care, not because they want to, but because they need to. Patients, he says, usually present with a variation of pain, a functional or cosmetic concern, or some sort of acute or chronic trauma.
“It is therefore a daily goal for me and my staff to meet and exceed expectations,’” said Dr. Juma, “We are having a great day when patients leave thinking ‘That was amazing! They really took great care of me!’”
At McKinney Dental & Implant Center, patients don’t feel like they’re seeing a stranger. A sense of familiarity from the moment they walk through the door makes the practice feel like home. Not only do Amanda, the office manager; Andrea, the office administrator; Saghar, the hygienist; and Emerson, Dr. Juma’s assistant, along with Dr. Juma himself greet each person by name, they know about their families and the hallmark moments of their lives. Importantly, too, they understand comprehensive care begins with a thorough understanding of patients’ medical history.
“Many of our patients have complex health histories,” said Dr. Juma, “and for personalized care, it is critical that we are well versed on their dental, medical, and social records so that nothing falls through the cracks.”
Utilizing innovative and cutting-edge technology is another cornerstone of the practice.
“The science that dictates evidence-based care, allows the artist in me to create predictably healthier, brighter, whiter smiles in a way that we could not in the past,” said Dr. Juma.
One such advancement utilized at the practice is the X-NAV system that allows for minimally invasive implant surgery with real time adjustments. This shortens healing time with predictable surgical results. Another is 3D Cone beam imaging and intra- oral scanning which allows Dr. Juma and his staff to evaluate and diagnose more accurately where two-dimensional images are not enough. For example, malignant or pathologic lesions can be detected much earlier. Prosthetics for immediate smile makeovers can usually be fabricated in house same day using 3D printing and patients at risk from obstructive sleep apnea have access to screening technology. It’s clear to everyone who visits McKinney Dental & Implant Center that Dr. Juma loves what he does.
“I think very few people end up at a point in their life where they say their career choice is something that truly makes them happy ,” he said. “When I consider my patients, my staff and the successes that I’ve had in my practice, I am so very happy with my choice to pursue dentistry as a career. Aside from the birth of my son, it’s the best thing I’ll ever do.”
