One of the main points in our practice is that the knowledge of orthodox dental health theory is an incomplete guide for practical action when relating to our patients' specifically human problems.
By following a holistic perspective on patients' health and on our dental practice we become more efficient as doctors. Instead of focusing on symptoms as such and letting them refer to orthodox medical theory, we relate to the patients as if they are conveying a personal meaning by means of experienced symptoms.
The experience of illness, any dental or health issue could be a successful strategy on the existential level although destructive on the technical biological level.
A holistic theory of health can give doctors a good conceptual base when relating to people whose presented illnesses are to be regarded explicitly as their way of making themselves understood.
Our understanding of the patient's issues, of the theory of health, and of how health is regained, is dependent on the doctor's having the courage to reduce the distance to the patient, the courage to participate and be changed.

To serve patients is our greatest privilege
As described in the Patient Experience Journal, "today is an extraordinary time in medicine. Our science and technology have produced remarkable advances that in the not-so-distant past might have been thought unimaginable. Organ transplantation to save lives, reconstructive surgeries to restore a patient’s shattered features, new therapies to prolong life or defeat disease. In our laboratories, our operating rooms and our treatment centers, we are making new discoveries and delivering the highest-quality medical care the world has ever known"
With a holistic approach we can see where science and human life recognise their common ground. The intention of service and dedication to improvement in life quality is a priority. Dr Tony Ancell is leader in holistic dentistry and demonstrates with his level of care and professionalism the value of knowledge with a great level of care.
Today, we recognize that the people who come to us are more than just patients. They are wives and husbands, mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, sons, daughters, , aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, friends and colleagues. Each one has his or her unique story, and that story doesn’t end when they leave us. We have the privilege to connect with them while they are in our care, but even if their life ends within our walls, we become a part of their ongoing narrative and that of their families and friends. Whether or not that narrative reflects positively is entirely up to us.
At Woollahra Dental, we live Dr Ancell's values and we serve our patients with compassion, excellence and value. We understand that all our patients are individuals, each of whom has his or her own personal needs and concerns.
