At your next dental checkup, you may want to ask to make sure your dentist performs oral cancer screenings during checkups. If they don’t, we recommend asking them to perform one at least once a year, if not at every checkup. Read our blog post to learn about the importance of regular oral cancer screenings.
When you think of cancer, your mind might not jump straight to your mouth, but oral cancer is a serious issue, and one that we screen for at each visit. Check out our blog post where we let you know what the signs and symptoms of oral cancer are.
"This was the best experience with a dentist I've ever had. I had an implant done and was expecting a lot of pain. I had no pain at all. It was so refreshing to have a dentist who cares about his patients. I highly recommend Dr. Orme and his staff at Southwest Dental Care."
- Sheryl B.
"I'm the kind of person who likes a real explanation of what's happening, even if I don't really understand half of it. Dr. Orme went the extra mile to explain everything in a casual and personable way without "dumbing it down". The office space is modern and fresh, and the staff is welcoming and characterful."
- John D.
"I worked with Dr. Orme in the Dominican Republic recently on a humanitarian trip. I watched him work hard every day at making the people feel good, creating an experience, as well as teaching those around him. He makes patients and co-workers feel good. He's positive, very upbeat, and I would recommend him strongly!!"

"He is the best dentist I have ever been to. He listens and only does what you want done without pressure. Very informative without the lecture. Dr. Orme and his staff are very friendly."
