Detailed Introduction
Morrison Dental Care is a well-established and highly regarded dental practice located in Clifton Park, NY. It embodies a rich family legacy in dentistry, tracing its roots back to Dr. Lewis Morrison's father, Dr. Jack Morrison, and further cemented by Dr. Lewis Morrison who founded the current practice in 1973. The tradition continues with Dr. Lewis's son, Dr. David Morrison, who joined the practice in 2018, creating a father-son duo dedicated to collaborative and compassionate care.
The core philosophy of Morrison Dental Care revolves around treating each patient as an individual, rather than just focusing on their teeth. This patient-centered approach emphasizes building trust, fostering patient autonomy, and ensuring that every interaction, from the warm welcome at the front desk to detailed discussions with the doctors, is focused on understanding the patient's oral health journey, past experiences, and goals.
Morrison Dental Care offers a comprehensive suite of dental services, reflecting their commitment to providing holistic oral healthcare under one roof. These services include:
General Dentistry: Routine check-ups, cleanings, and preventative care to maintain overall oral health.
Cosmetic Dentistry: Procedures designed to enhance the aesthetics of a smile, such as teeth whitening, veneers, dental bonding, and gum contouring.
Restorative Dentistry: Treatments aimed at repairing and restoring the function, integrity, and appearance of damaged or missing teeth. This includes fillings (tooth-colored composite), porcelain inlays/onlays, dental crowns, dental bridges, dentures (full and partial), and root canal therapy.
Implant Dentistry: Solutions for replacing missing teeth with durable and natural-looking dental implants.
Invisalign: Clear aligner therapy for straightening teeth discreetly.
Minor Tooth Extractions: When necessary for various reasons, including severe decay, gum disease, or overcrowding.
The practice prides itself on staying current with the latest dental techniques and technology to deliver exceptional care. Both Dr. Lewis and Dr. David Morrison are committed to continuous professional development. Dr. David Morrison, for instance, is a Master in the Academy of General Dentistry, a status achieved by only a small percentage of dentists nationwide, and is also a certified Silver Plus Provider with Invisalign. Dr. Lewis Morrison is a Fellow and past president of the Academy of Stress and Chronic Disease, and a member of various prestigious dental associations.

They understand that many people have had negative past experiences and strive to create an environment where patients feel at ease and empowered to be actively involved in their treatment decisions. They offer flexible financial options, including working with various insurance providers (like Cigna and Delta Premiere) and third-party financing through CareCredit, to ensure that quality dental care is accessible.
