MANSFIELD FAMILY DENTISTRY C ody Ba u er, D D S
BY MEREDITH KNIGHT
Dr. Cody Bauer didn’t have to look far for a role model. Growing up in Mansfield, he spent time watching his dad, Family Dentist John Bauer, forge relationships with generations of patients, many of whom became personal friends. Mansfield Family Dentist was a home away from home for Cody and his siblings, especially since the office manager was their mom, Terri. When it was time to choose a career, Cody knew he wanted to follow in his dad’s footsteps. In 2009, Dr. Cody Bauer joined the practice, continuing the family legacy and carrying on the vision his mom and dad started more than 40 years ago. Cody not only brought a breath of fresh air into the practice but his own skillset and expertise. Dr. Cody quickly became known as for his fun and compassionate chairside manner and his special connection with younger patients. Kids appreciate how stress-free he makes their time in his chair. Parents appreciate his uncompromising attention to detail. “Parents tell me all the time they can’t believe how their kids look forward to coming to see Dr. Cody,” said proud mom, Terri. “He’s very passionate about raising up a generation of kids who love going to the dentist and who have even better oral health than their parents or grandparents.” Together with his dad, Dr. Cody offers his family of patients at Mansfield Family Dentistry a full array of preventative, restorative, and cosmetic dentistry including: • Dental Implants • Root Canals • Sedation Dentistry • To o t h E x t r a c t i o n s • P o r c e l a i n Ve n e e r s • D e n ta l C row n s
• D e n t u re s • Dental Bridges • N i t ro u s Ox i d e • To o t h W h i t e n i n g • Inlays & Onlays • Dental Bonding • To o t h - C o l o r e d F i l l i n g s • Dental Sealants • I n v i s a l i g n To o t h A l i g n e r s • S i l e n t - S l e e p O ra l A p p l i a n c e For children as young as three, the Mansfield Family Dentistry team takes it slow, talking to kids, explaining each thing they do before they do it, and taking extra time to educate parent and child about caring for their teeth for a lifetime of optimum oral health. “We follow the child’s lead, never proceeding with treatment until they’re ready,” Dr. Cody said. “When they know what to expect, it takes the scary out of dentistry. Parents are invited to accompany young child into the operatory, but for older kids, we let them decide if they want Mom and Dad there or would rather have them wait in the waiting room.”
For more than four decades, the Mansfield community has counted on the Bauer family for know-you-byname dentistry that’s also at the leading edge of dental technology. “I’m a bit of a techno nerd, so I love learning about the latest dental breakthroughs and incorporating the ones with a proven track record into the practice,” Dr. Cody said. Both of the Drs. Bauer go over and above in continuing education, so they’ve got your family covered with everything from routine maintenance to conservative restorative dentistry — all the way to dramatic smile makeovers. They are Mansfield’s one-stop dental shop. Visit MansfieldDentistry.com to find out more or call (817)-473-0291 to schedule an appointment. CONTACT
