V Veridian Dental
General & preventive dentistry · Established 2014

Dentistry that follows the evidence,
not the trend.

We don't sell veneers, whitening packages, or treatments you don't need. Every recommendation we make is anchored to the current peer-reviewed literature — and we'll show you the citation if you ask.

Services

A complete general practice. Specialty referrals when warranted.

For procedures outside our scope (oral surgery, endodontic re-treatment, complex implant cases) we refer to a network of specialists we've personally vetted.

001 / Preventive

Examinations & cleanings

Comprehensive 60-minute exam, full-mouth scaling, and risk assessment. Recommended cadence is calibrated per patient — not one-size-fits-all.

Read protocol →
002 / Restorative

Composite fillings

Tooth-colored, mercury-free, placed under rubber dam isolation. Lifetime limited warranty when the recall schedule is followed.

Read protocol →
003 / Restorative

Crowns & onlays

Lithium disilicate or zirconia, milled in-house. Conservative tooth preparation with biomimetic principles.

Read protocol →
004 / Endodontic

Root canal therapy

Single-rooted teeth in-practice. Multi-rooted molars referred to a board-certified endodontist.

Read protocol →
005 / Cosmetic

Conservative whitening

Take-home trays with 10% carbamide peroxide. We don't offer in-chair bleaching — current evidence doesn't justify the enamel risk.

Read protocol →
006 / Diagnostic

Imaging

Bitewings every 18–24 months (lower than industry default), full-mouth series only with clinical indication. ALARA-compliant.

Methodology

Five operating principles.

  1. / 01

    Cite, don't claim.

    Every clinical recommendation links to a citation in our patient portal — Cochrane reviews, ADA guidelines, or peer-reviewed RCTs. If we can't cite it, we don't recommend it.

  2. / 02

    Watchful waiting.

    Many borderline lesions don't need to be drilled today. We document, photograph, and re-evaluate at six months when intervention is genuinely net-beneficial.

  3. / 03

    Conservative first.

    A filling before a crown. A crown before an extraction. We default to the least invasive option that meets the clinical bar.

  4. / 04

    Transparent pricing.

    Our full fee schedule is published below. No "consultation required" pricing games. What you see is what you pay.

  5. / 05

    Time, not throughput.

    Our schedule blocks 50–60 minutes per patient, not 20. We see fewer patients per day on purpose.

Patient feedback
"Dr. Vance pulled up the actual paper — printed, highlighted — to explain why she wasn't recommending the implant my previous dentist had pushed. I've never had that experience anywhere in healthcare."
