  • Practice Philosophy:
     
    "Dr. Gutkin is a proponent of Comprehensive Restorative Dental Treatment, an approach to patient care that focuses on both the management of current problems & symptoms but also the prevention of future concerns. This treatment modality is one that seeks to not only address the dental issues that patients actively present with, but rather to investigate further the underlying causes or habits which have contributed to the creation of these problems initially. Addressing the causes rather than symptoms is the first step towards predictable and long lasting dental restorations, a healthy oral cavity, and most importantly overall body health."
     
    Environmental Philosophy:
     
    "Dr. Gutkin loves the beautiful scenery our Northwest home provides, and is dedicating to help reduce the impact Whole Earth Dental has on the environment. When and where ever possible, the office practices Environmentally Sustainable Dentistry by using materials and procedures which reduce waste, increase safe reusability, and minimize our carbon foot print. Outside the office, Dr. Gutkin commutes 13 miles daily by bicycle. While patient safety and adhering to restrict clinical standards for dentistry are always paramount, the practice makes every effort possible to stay as green as possible and encourages patients to do the same by walking, biking or busing to appointments whenever they can.
