Dr. Jason Cellars, a leading figure in the field of dentistry, has cultivated a reputation that extends beyond the dental chair. From pioneering personalized care to advocating for preventative measures and minimally invasive techniques, his approach reflects a harmonious blend of healthcare, artistry, and innovation.
Personalized Care with a Personal Touch
For Dr. Cellars, personalized care is more than just a philosophy—it’s a cornerstone of his practice. “Our commitment to personalized care shows through in all sorts of ways. Whether it is remembering that someone needs an extra neck pillow or having someone’s favorite TV show on before they even sit down, we are always looking for ways to make sure that our patients feel cared for and at home,” he shares. His focus on tailoring cosmetic work to individual personalities and goals highlights his dedication to delivering smiles that enhance natural beauty rather than imposing a cookie-cutter aesthetic. “People don’t want a stock smile in their mouth. They want an enhanced version of their smile, and personalizing every detail to the patient’s personality, goals, and appearance is the epitome of personalized care.”
Preventative Dentistry: Back to Basics
Preventative dentistry forms the bedrock of Dr. Cellars’ practice. He emphasizes the importance of foundational habits over trendy innovations. “Preventative dentistry is the most important thing for us and our patients. No dental care is always the best dental care,” he explains. “The most important habits are the basics: daily flossing, brushing, and routine dental cleanings. There are tons of fancy products and new trends, but nothing is more important than mechanical removal of plaque.”
The Role of Technology in Modern Dentistry
Dr. Cellars highlights how advancements in technology have transformed dental practices. “The biggest two advents in recent dentistry are our ability to bond to tooth structure and our latest advancements in dental loupes,” he notes. These innovations allow for earlier intervention and more precise treatments, all while preserving the integrity of natural teeth. “We are able to treat teeth sooner, better, and by removing significantly less tooth structure.”
The Inspiration Behind the Work
Dentistry, for Dr. Cellars, is a calling that unites his passions for healthcare, artistry, and human connection. “I wanted to be a healthcare provider to help people, an artist to express my creative abilities, and to work with people to make them happy and comfortable,” he reveals. “Once I found dentistry, I knew it was the perfect role for me, and my passion has only grown since being in the field.”
Comforting the Anxious Patient
Dental anxiety is a significant barrier for many patients, but Dr. Cellars has developed a multifaceted approach to alleviate fears. “Over half of all patients have at least a little bit of dental anxiety,” he acknowledges. “One of the most important things is to make sure that the patient feels safe and cared for. Treating our patients like family members makes for a less frightening dental office.” From offering painless injections and a gentle touch to providing blankets, movies, and sedation options, his practice aims to create a welcoming and calming environment.
Community Outreach and Education
Dr. Cellars’ impact extends beyond his practice through the Smile Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing free dental makeovers and community education. “We started a nonprofit several years ago called the Smile Foundation that helps give free makeovers to people in need,” he explains. The foundation’s efforts include educational initiatives at fairs and schools, emphasizing the importance of oral health.
Looking to the Future
As dentistry evolves, Dr. Cellars remains selective about adopting new trends. While he is excited about advancements in digital x-ray technology and 3D imaging, he expresses caution regarding overreliance on digital smile design. “These softwares don’t have the artistic touch and subtlety that is needed to create fully gorgeous results,” he notes, emphasizing the importance of skill and artistry in achieving optimal outcomes.
Balancing Professional and Personal Goals
As 2025 begins, Dr. Cellars is not only focused on expanding his practice but also on personal milestones. “Professionally, I want to expand our reach by training more dentists to provide their patients with the same care and standards that we think should be universal,” he shares. On a personal note, he adds, “I am looking forward to getting married this year in January and hoping to make more time for my hobbies, which are music and golf.”
Dr. Jason Cellars exemplifies a modern dentist who merges science with compassion and artistry. Whether he’s creating personalized smiles, championing preventative care, or sharing his expertise through education, his dedication to patient well-being remains at the heart of his practice. In a world where dental care can often feel impersonal, Dr. Cellars reminds us that a genuine smile starts with a genuine connection.
