European-Style Dentistry

Dentistry is delivered differently in foreign countries.

While American health care is generally considered the best in the world, some countries have superior systems. In Europe, there are fewer specialists, and most care is delivered by generalists.

The general dentists try to excel in certain specialties and pride themselves in having multiple services under one roof. Here in America, we have specialists in populated areas who generalists refer to for certain services. While this works well in urban situations, it doesn't work as well in rural areas.

Why European-Style Dentistry?

When a single doctor oversees your health care from beginning to end, there is much synergism in the treatment, not to mention significant financial savings. The patient enjoys the ease of going to a single office, and not having to deal with multiple practitioners.

Dr. Giacopuzzi follows this European-Style philosophy in every aspect of his practice. Although Dr. Giacopuzzi doesn't provide all specialties, he does offer periodontal, implant (surgical and restorative) and intravenous sedation services in addition to general dentistry.

With dental implants, this is especially convenient for patients as the treatment planning, surgical and restorative phases are seamless and costs are minimized. If the patient is apprehensive, sedation is available and the need for an outside anesthetist is eliminated.
