Boutique dentist offers high end quality care with a human touch.
In a world of rapidly evolving scientific and technological advancements, our boutique dental practice sees continuous, dedicated study as an obligation. In fact, our entire team regularly attends courses in continuing education so we can stay up to date on the latest methods and practices. Our boutique dentist has made a commitment to teaching, publishing, and learning from the best and brightest in our profession. This allows our clients to benefit from the most current and quality conscious health care available.
What is a Boutique Dental Practice?
A boutique dentist is more interested in quality rather than quantity. The size of a boutique dental practice is purposely limited so that the doctor isn’t running from room to room. When he is with you, he is really with you.
When choosing a dentist to maintain your oral health, you want someone with lots of education and experience. But let’s face it, if your doctor isn’t warm, welcoming, and compassionate, you won’t feel at ease under his or her care.
We will continue to offer the latest technological and artistic advances at Lake Forest Dental Arts. We pledge to maintain what is most important: the human touch.
Why the Human Touch is Important in a Boutique Dental Practice
In order to run a successful dental practice, a doctor must master two things. First, he or she must be competent in the field. Secondly, he or she must be a compassionate communicator. By grasping these two roles, a dentist can earn patient trust and provide truly unparalleled service.
Dr. James Fondriest uses observation and listening skills to determine our patients’ needs and wants. He will explain the diagnosis and treatment plan in detail. Then why said treatment is recommended and what the patient can anticipate during the process.
Technology as an Enhancement
It is estimated that, within the next two years, healthcare providers will spend more than six billion dollars on artificial intelligence annually. Technology has its place in the healthcare field, to be sure. In fact, it is our responsibility as healthcare providers to adopt new advancements with the purpose of accurate diagnosis and treatment. However, while innovations emerge rapidly, we – as humans – are slow to adapt to these changes. After all, can “robots” and machines provide the same experience as your beloved family doctor? That’s why we believe in using technology only as an enhancement to quality dental care. Technology should never be the sole focus of our boutique practice.
Benefits of Advanced Dental Technology
At our practice, we routinely utilize advanced technologies, such as digital x-rays, intra oral cameras, digital photography, and more. These tools allow Dr. Fondriest to visualize oral facial landmarks with incredible accuracy and precision. As a result, our patients can rest assured they are receiving the highest level of artistic care possible. This technology is particularly helpful in the design of dental crowns, teeth veneers, and implants.
Benefits of the Human Touch in Dentistry
The human touch is more than just physical interaction. Although a hearty handshake or a compassionate pat on the back can do wonders for your well being. We believe the human touch is about respecting our patients and truly listening to their concerns. Our patients are made an integral part of the treatment process. We believe that these key elements of a boutique dental practice can lead to:
- Enhanced doctor and patient rapport
- Increased trust
- Valuable patient education
- A comfortable dental experience

Are you interested in going to a Boutique Cosmetic Dentist?
Just because we limit our practice to a certain size doesn’t mean that we are small town. We also care for many patients from across the United States. Dr. Fondriest is a nationally recognized dental educator and he publishes regularly. Our practice tends to have two types of patients. About half of our patients are from nearby suburbs seeking quality general care. The other half of our patient population comes all over the United States for advanced cosmetic dentistry and prosthodontic care.
