Meet Dr. Calvin Despain

Well, I became a dentist because Iwanna help people. And dentistry can often be a scary experience. And we havethe ability as dentists to really help patients to have a good experience. Oursmile, our teeth has a huge effect on our lives. And it can affect ourconfidence with ourselves, our confidence with our interaction with others. Andas a dentist, I have the ability to really change people's lives.

It's really awesome when patients havecome in and they have bad teeth or they aren't comfortable with their smile,with our technology, we can change your smile in a day, so that their wholeperception, their whole perspective on life changes. We can also help peoplewho, you know, if they just have one tooth that's hurting, then we can get themout of pain with that. And so really, our oral health is connected to the restof our body. So by improving their oral health, we improve their overallhealth, and we can help them live a better life.

I always wanted to do something in themedical field. And as a dentist, we get to help people. We can have a goodlifestyle. We don't have to have those crazy hours that some physicians do. Andso, it just was really a good fit as a dentist to be able to help people. Andas a dentist, I get to work a little bit more closely with some of my patientsthan maybe some other healthcare providers do. And so that really offers a lotof great benefits as well.

I did my undergraduate degree atBrigham Young University-Idaho. Afterwards, I attended dental school at IndianaUniversity School of Dentistry in Indianapolis. And I graduated number 5 in myclass out of 106. And I got the award for having excellent clinical andintegrity when working with patients.

Some of the great CE or continuingeducation courses I've taken are in CEREC, which is our same-day crown system,and in implant dentistry offering both mini and traditional implants. I've alsotaken CE or continued education courses on offering oral conscious sedationalso known as [inaudible 00:01:53] sedation so that we can help offer acontrolled experience for each of our patients.

My husband started his dental implant journey about 3 years ago. After 3 dentists, he found Skyview Dental. They have corrected issues that were previously done, explained things in detail and the whole staff has been great. I would recommend them to anyone for their dental care.

My first visit so far was beyond refreshing. Every single one of the staff was courteous, informed, and welcoming, each one that I interacted with knew of my appointment and why I was there. The Surgeon himself was incredibly intelligent and straightforward, but also too the time to hear me and... My first visit so far was beyond refreshing. Every single one of the staff was courteous, informed, and welcoming, each one that I interacted with knew of my appointment and why I was there. The Surgeon himself was incredibly intelligent and straightforward, but also too the time to hear me and my concerns and prior experiences elsewhere so that he understood my hesitation with trust. He knew his job so well that after he explained the current up to date hardware they are able to use in this practice/office that I no longer fear moving forward with surgery. So far I would very much recommend this Facility and the care each of their staff provided me with.
