Baines Dental Wellness

Baines Dental Wellness is a dental practice located at 1112 Rickard Rd Suite A, Springfield, IL, led by Dr. Lisa Baines. The practice distinguishes itself by adopting a holistic approach to dentistry, emphasizing that optimal oral health is integral to overall well-being. This philosophy stems from Dr. Baines' personal experience, including her journey with her son's Type 1 Diabetes diagnosis, which ignited a passion for looking beyond symptoms to address root causes and promote true wellness. The brand's core values revolve around providing comprehensive, compassionate, and personalized dental care for patients of all ages, from infants to seniors. They aim to create a comfortable and welcoming environment, utilizing modern technology and techniques to ensure effective and efficient treatments. Key aspects of Baines Dental Wellness include: Comprehensive Services: They offer a full spectrum of dental services, including general dentistry (exams, cleanings, oral cancer screenings, X-rays, periodontal therapy, fluoride treatments, mouthguards), cosmetic dentistry (to enhance smile appearance and confidence), restorative dentistry (fillings, crowns, bridges, dentures, partials, oral surgery), implant dentistry, sleep apnea treatment, and TMJ treatment. Holistic and Integrative Approach: Unlike conventional dental practices, Baines Dental Wellness focuses on the intricate connection between oral health and systemic health. This is particularly evident in their emphasis on "airway orthodontics" for children, which aims to improve facial development, airway development, and tooth alignment for overall health. Advanced Technology: The practice incorporates state-of-the-art diagnostic tools like 3D scans, TScan, panoramic, and CBCT imaging, as well as laser technology for procedures like frenectomies and cold sore therapy. They also use the iTero DIGITAL dental impression machine for comfortable and accurate impressions. Patient-Centered Care: Baines Dental Wellness prioritizes patient comfort and education. They encourage open conversations with patients about their oral health concerns and goals, ensuring a collaborative approach to treatment planning. They also offer oral sedation for anxious patients. Dr. Lisa Baines' Expertise: Dr. Baines is a highly qualified and continuously learning dentist. She graduated from Southern Illinois University School of Dental Medicine and has pursued extensive continuing education, including coursework from the Dawson Academy and Pankey Institute, a mini-residency in airway-focused dentistry, and becoming a Master of Implantology from the California Implant Institute. She is also a certified Invisalign® provider and a Breathe Ambassador trained in a functional approach to Frenuloplasty. Her passion for helping children thrive is a significant driving force behind the practice. Community Focus: The practice has a long-standing presence in the Springfield community, carrying on a reputation of excellence from the previous owner.
