“Dentistry combines the American entrepreneurial spirit with science and medicine. Everyday, I am privileged to improve the oral health and self confidence of Savannahians.” Dr. Christopher Comer

APPROACH

I take a very pragmatic approach to case design; every patient has different goals and I love to use technology to help them meet those goals. We are proud that the bulk of our new patients are referred to us by current patients. We like to provide the friendly alternative to the ‘big box’ practices.

WHEN AND WHY

In a possibly unconscious attempt to stay in college forever, I tried just about all the possible majors. They finally realized I had met the requirements to receive a degree in finance. I then went back to dental school and I have now taken that business education to build a career in health using the American entrepreneurial spirit combined with science and medicine.

OUTSTANDING MOMENT

After practicing dentistry for several years, all dentists face similar challenges such as insurance battles and pandemic setbacks. The outstanding moment for me is when we can create a quiet and serene atmosphere for each client and have them leave happy with their results.

OUTSTANDING PERSON

After dental school, I pursued a hospital residency in the Veterans Administration where Dr. George Hall set the standard for the ideal practitioner. Dr. Hall guided me through difficult implant surgeries, making them seem effortless.

OUTSTANDING TECHNOLOGY

I enjoy employing digital radiographs, 3D bone scans and 3D intra-oral scanning, but nothing has caught my interest quite like 3D printing in the office. I can now prototype smiles for patients to show their families, create realistic dentures and sleep appliances. Fabricating everything in office has dramatically lowered the cost to patients and made dentistry more accessible.

COVID-19 CHALLENGES

Every small business owner faced challenges and stresses during the pandemic. During my office closure, I took the gift of an intermission in patient care to improve the office. I made several renovations and technology upgrades. Once able to reopen, my team hit the ground running and we have yet to slow down.
