At Ross Dental Studio in Prosper, JaTerra Ross, D.D.S., says she envisions a space where every patient leaves with a confident and healthy smile. Driven by a passion for redefining dental experiences, she recalls choosing dentistry to alleviate the common fears and anxieties associated with dental visits.
Ross Dental Studio is a general family practice, taking care of the young to the young at heart. Its services include preventative dentistry, restorative dentistry, emergency care and teeth whitening. Routine bi-annual dental exams and cleanings help Dr. Ross detect issues early, so action can be taken, saving patients time and money, and preventing larger dental issues.
Even with excellent care, however, teeth and gums can be susceptible to disease, infection, cavities, cracks or other forms of damage. Dr. Ross confirms that she offers judgment-free care for patients with every dental need.
"Patients immediately sense the relaxed atmosphere upon entering the office. Comfort is a top priority," Dr. Ross says.
Recognizing that anxiety often stems from the mere presence of a dental office, the studio provides amenities such as a beverage station, warm blankets and wireless headphones linked to overhead TVs featuring Netflix and Disney+. These offerings aim to establish an environment where patients feel secure, at ease, and experience dentistry that seamlessly integrates technology and artistry without any pressure.
“Our team definitely sets us apart from other dental offices,” says Dr. Ross. “We are often told how friendly the staff is, and that I have a calming presence that helps them to also relax.”
When patients are first seated in the chair, Dr. Ross says she and her staff take time to get to know them. "We ask how their day has been going, where they are from, about their family, and any other important things going on in their life. We focus on establishing a good rapport with every patient," she adds.
Dr. Ross says that she doesn’t want to treat strangers, rather she "takes care of family." She finds that this builds trust, as well as a realization that she cares about the patient's overall health, not just their teeth.
“By the end of their visit, our patients leave feeling like family,” explains Dr. Ross. “We truly take the time to get to know our patients before discussing anything dental-related.”
Dr. Ross stresses the importance of regular dental visits, recommending at least biannual check-ups every six months. These appointments go beyond examining teeth and gums. They include an oral cancer screening for the head and neck region, ensuring overall health. Early detection of issues is crucial, as addressing them at this stage is typically less discomforting and more manageable. Dr. Ross proactively provides guidance, alerting patients to areas overlooked during brushing to prevent the progression of potential cavities or gum problems. In essence, routine cleaning and exams contribute to both long-term oral and general health.
Ross Dental Studio provides an inclusive and cost-effective membership plan for both adults and children, ensuring that quality dental care remains accessible to all. The adult wellness plan, catering to patients 14 years and older, is available at $38 per month. For children aged 13 and below, the child membership plan is offered at $30 per month. Each plan encompasses two annual exams and cleanings, two fluoride treatments, all necessary X-rays, one emergency exam and a 10 percent discount on additional treatments. There are no yearly maximums, no deductibles, no claim forms and no waiting periods.
Dr. Ross says she's enthused to be part of the Prosper community. She often visits daycares and early childhood centers to give presentations to the children about oral health and healthy foods and to pass out toothbrushes. Her staff also is in the beginning stages of partnering with a local nonprofit organization.
Dr. Ross shares five essential tips for maintaining good oral health.
- Brush teeth twice a day for 2 minutes each time, including your tongue.
- Floss daily to eliminate plaque between teeth.
- Schedule dental checkups every six months for preventive care.
- Opt for water over energy drinks to minimize sugar intake.
- Steer clear of chewing on hard candies, ice or other items to protect your teeth.
"We're dedicated to providing patients with the quality and comfort they deserve," assures Dr. Ross.
