Patient Resources

Enjoy life, try things, make your own decisions. These are the three things Dr Franks wants for his kids. The only thing Dr Franks gets frustrated about with his children is when they don’t try. “Even if they flunk a class, so long as they tried, that’s what’s necessary for sustained success”.

Patient T was scared because she'd attempted cosmetic dentistry once before with a previous dentist, and he had given her something that made her hate her smile. Dr Franks had to build trust first, before he could give her a treatment plan.

Amongst children, it is extremely important to pick up on any signs of Sleep Apnoea, as this can allow for it to be treated from a young age. If you notice any of the warning signs in your child, it is always a good idea to get in contact with us at Bite Dental.

You won't find a TV in Bite Dental’s waiting room, because a TV is a way of saying “deal with this, so we don’t have to deal with you". Dr Franks sees Bite Dental as an extension of his family. He doesn’t call them 'patients'. He calls them 'friends'.

Dr Franks’ strengths at school were science and math. English, not so much. A letter from the career’s guidance counsellor recommended three options: farming, accounting and dentistry. A summary of his educational drive is refusal to accept the negativity of others.
