Desire to Pursue Dentistry:

Dr. Lepetich admits that as a child he was fearful of going to the dentist.  However, over the years he realized the care that dentists can provide and the way dental work can change people’s lives.  Through many experiences of shadowing different dentists, he realized this was a profession that he strongly desired to pursue.  Dr. Lepetich has always had a special attention to detail and enjoyed working with his hands and now enjoys seeing the benefits that modern dentistry can provide.   He understands how personally rewarding dentistry is when you are upfront and honest with patients, take the time to thoroughly understand their individual needs, and let them know you truly care.  He has found there is more to dentistry than just ‘treating a tooth’.
