Dr. Ronald L. King and Dr. Giang T. Pham welcome you to our web site.  We strongly
believe that healthcare professionals should be open-minded, thoughtful, and respectful of
different viewpoints. Our goal is to integrate alternative philosophies into conventional dental
treatment because the mouth can influence the rest of the body, and vice versa.  Since there
are many therapies and philosophies that exist in the world today, the challenge is in
choosing and integrating treatment that is the most appropriate and potentially beneficial for
each situation.  That choice, of course, must be based on full knowledge of benefits, risks,
side effects, time, effort, practicality, and cost of every option.  

We not only believe that the patient must be informed of all options, but that they should
actively participate in the planning of treatment to ensure their expectations are met.  To
insure that participation, we will never make treatment recommendations!  It is the patient's
responsibility to choose treatment because it is they who will live with their decision 24/7.  

Since 1991, this general dental practice has been utilizing dental materials creatively to help
those people with potential or known sensitivities to commonly used dental materials, and
encouraging the use of both conventional and alternative healthcare treatments and products
that truly support dental health, rather than just treat the symptoms.  There are many people
who appreciate this type of dental care, so we have made the commitment to learn about and
understand those options.   

All patients are considered a patient of both dentists because we have decided to work as a
team.  We think our patients will benefit from having 2 perspectives rather than just 1.  
Treatment will be provided according to our skills, our preferences, our experience level,
your expectations, your personality, and all of our schedules.  Dr. King provides all  
restorative treatments, especially those that are more complex or unusual, and Dr. Pham will
provide endodontic and surgical treatments as well as normal restorative procedures.

This web site is for you, so we encourage you to learn from it, utilize the information as you
see fit, and ask questions, regardless if you ever become a patient of ours or not.  
Comments, criticism, suggestions, and affirmations are always welcomed.
