If you are looking for a dentist in Raleigh, a Google search for “My Raleigh Dentists,” will lead you to two of the most genuinely caring and dedicated dentists in town, Drs. David and Susan Gover of Gover and Gover Dentistry.
It’s hard to believe, but 2 decades have gone by since Drs. Gover and Gover transitioned into the practice that Dr. Dan Averett and Dr. Riley Pleasants began in July of 1969. Dr. Pleasants retired in 2001, and Dr. Averett retired in 2012. Both Dr. Pleasants and Dr. Averett still reside in Raleigh and are now enjoying playing a little more golf and spending more time with their families.
After several years in the original location, the Govers moved the practice to a modern, state-of-the-art new building in the medical district off Ed Drive near Rex Hospital. Their goal is to provide caring family and general dentistry while working to enhance and restore the beautiful smiles that make such a difference in so many lives. We like to call it “Dentistry you can smile about.”
Modern Approach to Dental Services
In fact, the Gover’s recent move to a larger, more modernized office has allowed them to stay at the forefront of the dental industry for the restorative and aesthetic dental services they specialize in. They insist on keeping up with the latest developments in materials and technology which provide their patients with the peace of mind that they are getting the very best in modern dental care.
Professionalism and Experience
Dr. David and Dr. Susan, as you hear them affectionately called at the office, both graduated from the University of Kentucky College of Dentistry with DMD degrees. With extensive experience in all aspects of dentistry, the Govers and their team of 5 hygienists and 4 dental assistants strive to stay up to date on the latest technology and advances in materials while providing the personalized care their patients deserve. Gover and Gover Dentistry is committed to continuing education and learning in an effort to provide the best possible dental care to its patients. Dental lectures, meetings, and conventions are all part of the ongoing commitment to better their capabilities, master new techniques and stay informed on the latest products and equipment while providing the state-of-the-art dental care you expect in a modern dental facility. Naturally, memberships and licenses through various professional organizations such as the American Dental Association (ADA) bring you the assurance they are following industry recommendations and guidelines for the most up to date care in the dental profession.
Prevention vs Treatment
Although the Govers take great pride in the restorative and cosmetic dental treatments they perform, they would be the first to tell you they would rather help patients achieve oral health before such treatments are necessary. Naturally a healthy prevention program includes routine teeth cleanings and flossing, thorough oral exams to check the health of teeth and gums, screenings for oral cancer, and taking x-rays when necessary to check for underlying problems that may not be visible. Your smile is not the only concern either. Of equal concern is your overall health which often goes hand-in-hand with dental health. Medical records assist the dentists in determining how medications or illnesses may affect your dental health. This is one of the reasons it is vitally important to keep them informed with up to date medical history.
Raleigh Dentists Who Care
There is a lot more to the Gover’s dental practice than the clinical side. They really work to develop a rapport with their patients, and the family atmosphere is evident in their office. They know a trip to the dentist is not at the top of most people’s list of fun things to do, but they do their best to make patients comfortable and relaxed. And with ethical care called into question in the medical community all too frequently, it’s reassuring to know there are still dentists out there like the Govers. Dentists who run an honest, caring practice where your long-term health and well-being come before their bottom line.
Obviously you have plenty of choices when selecting your next dentist. If professionalism, experience, an eye toward prevention and a genuine caring spirit are important in your health care professional, your mind is probably already made up. Raleigh Dentists Dr David Gover and Dr Susan Gover have built a team of compassionate, caring professionals that have been trained to listen to their patients and anticipate their needs. Drs. Gover and Gover appreciate the opportunity to be the best Raleigh Dentists for your dental care and encourage you to call 919-782-9516 for all your dental needs.
