“It’s not one-size-fits-all,” says Dr. Lisa of the treatment offered at Regis Court Dental Associates. “It’s very, very tailored to what each patient needs and what the desired outcomes are.”
Sometimes these results need high-tech help. Dr. Trevor notes that dentistry—like many other aspects of life—is becoming more digital, with new tools like in-office 3D x-rays enhancing the services Regis Court Dental Associates can provide. These devices perform procedures such as extractions and placement of dental implants—two of Dr. Trevor – faster, easier and more predictable. “It allows for the guesswork to be taken out and a process to be planned in advance rather than trying to react to what you find once you start,” he says.
Before going to dental school, Dr. Trevor worked as an engineer at 3M and says that the technical aspects of dentistry interest him. However, so is the human experience – something he found lacking in engineering.
“We really focus here on getting to know the patient first, and I really think that’s something special that this whole team loves to do,” says Dr. Trevor. “Just by being open and honest and taking the time to have deeper conversations, we can help a person realize that they can feel comfortable here.”
Dr. Brett – who became a dentist after an 11-year career as a US Air Force paratrooper – also aims to make it easier for patients. Among his areas of focus are oral surgery and root canals. Despite the reputation of root canals as synonymous with discomfort, they are “a good way to get people out of pain and allow them to keep the tooth,” says Dr. Brett.
Dr. Trevor and Dr. Brett came on board at Regis Court Dental Associates in mid-2023. “They are not only very good at what they do, but they are also so humble,” says Dr. Lisa, who joined the practice in 2009. “We are so grateful to have them together us, that we get to work with such great people who are able to provide that care to patients and do it in a way that makes patients want to come back.”
“The goal is to see the patient beyond their smile and get to know them first and foremost as a person.”
Patients have been returning to Regis Court Dental Associates for generations, since Dr. Joe Theisen founded the practice in 1978. Dr. Joe has since retired, but many of his patients—and their children, grandchildren, and even great-grandchildren—still make the practice their dental home.
“The majority of our patients are trying to keep their teeth healthy, but also to keep them strong so they can function for the rest of their lives,” says Dr. Lisa.
And, as always, Regis Court Dental Associates focuses on patients, not just their teeth.
“The goal is to see the patient beyond their smile and get to know them first and foremost as a person,” explains Jeffrey Henson, the business’s director. “Healthcare now is so focused on efficiency and how quickly you can see someone through to the next one, and what I find unique about what we’re doing is just carving out a space where we can create as much time as the patient needs to heal as from a personal point of view, but also from a dental health point of view”.
