Why the name
In Dr. Minici’s words:
I named the practice Dental Academy because good care starts with understanding. When you can see what I see and know why each step matters, the decisions about your care are truly yours. So my team and I explain as we go: what we find, what it means, and what your options are.
How we work
We show you what we see. Most of what a dentist finds is hard to see in a mirror. We show you on your X-rays and other images, point to what we’re talking about, and explain what it means.
We explain your options. Before any treatment starts, we walk you through your choices, including what could happen if you wait. When there’s more than one reasonable way to treat something, we tell you how they compare in time, comfort, and cost.
You decide. Ask as many questions as you like. The decision about your care is yours.

Reception, as you come in
From just inside the door, the way a first-time patient sees the waiting area and the front desk. Natural window light, a slightly cool grade with the greens kept muted. No patients in the frame, staff only with their written consent, and nothing with patient details in view.

The building and its entrance
The building as you arrive from the parking lot, with the way in clearly visible, so a first visit starts with something familiar. If the door to Ste 213 is inside, add a frame of it with its number. Daylight, the same cool grade.
