Biographical Information:
With respect for the needs and wishes of each individual patient,
our professional dental team is dedicated to
“Preserving and restoring oral health…beautifully.” Gustav E. Gates, DDS, MAGD
Our practice philosophy can be summed up in three little words – learning, listening, caring.
Learning – a lifelong endeavor*
New products and innovative techniques emerge constantly in the world of dentistry. In order to offer our patients the latest advancements, we must know what those advancements are and how to use them. Through continuing education, we acquire the skills and knowledge to provide our patients with up-to-date informed choices and the best possible dental care.
Listening – Caring
A wise teacher once said, “people don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.” We believe that our patients deserve our attention, courtesy, and respect. We invite you to ask questions. We listen to your concerns. In our practice, you are not just a dental chart, you’re a person. We care for you and about you.
We invite you to contact us for more information about our practice or to inquire about becoming a patient. 254-778-3587. E-mail: ggates@hot.rr.com.
