Welcome to Paladin Dental
A Note From Dr. Lowe
After 45 wonderful years of practicing dentistry, I have decided to retire. This was not an easy decision, but as I look back, I am filled with immense gratitude. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for entrusting me with your dental care. I will deeply miss the relationships we have built over the decades, and I will carry those fond memories with me into this next chapter.
My absolute priority in making this decision was ensuring you continue to receive the highest standard of care. I am thrilled to transition my practice to my own personal dentist, Dr. Nasir Sadeghi (affectionately known as “Dr. S”) at Paladin Dental.
I knew immediately upon meeting Dr. S years ago that he was the perfect fit. He graduated at the top of his class from the New York University College of Dentistry and has extensive training in implant surgery, orthodontics, and cosmetic dentistry. Beyond his impressive skills, he is an incredibly kind, caring, and warm person whose treatment philosophy aligns with mine.
Thank you again for an incredible 45 years—it has been an honor to be your dentist.
Sincerely,
Dr. Lawrence A. Lowe

What to Expect
1. Personal Scheduling Outreach
If you're a patient of Dr. Lowe and are due for a recall appointment within the next few months, our dedicated team will reach out directly to schedule your next visit.
2. Information Verification
During the scheduling call, we will confirm your contact details, verify any dental insurance provider information, and gather everything required to streamline your check-in.
3. Digital New Patient Forms
Once your visit is officially on the calendar, we’ll send a text message containing a secure link to your new patient forms. Completing these ahead of time is highly encouraged but entirely optional.
4. Arrival Preferences
If you prefer not to fill out the digital forms beforehand, please plan to arrive 10 to 15 minutes early to complete them comfortably in our office before your scheduled time.
5. Your Comprehensive First Visit
You will be scheduled with one of our four wonderful dental hygienists for a thorough initial visit, which includes:
- A complete set of diagnostic digital X-rays
- A comprehensive oral examination with one of our doctors
- A professional dental cleaning, if clinically appropriate based on your diagnostic exam
6. Digital X-Ray Requirement
To properly establish new patient care, a fresh set of digital X-rays must be captured using our advanced diagnostic imaging system. While existing X-rays from Dr. Lowe’s office cannot be utilized for active diagnosis in our system, they will be securely appended to your permanent records file.
7. Seamless Chart Transfer
Your clinical charts, treatment logs, and dental history from Dr. Lowe’s office will seamlessly transfer to Paladin Dental. This enables our doctors to review past records fully and ensure continuity of your care.
8. Ongoing Care at Paladin Dental
Following your first visit, you’ll be fully established within our practice family. We look forward to partnering with you on future preventative maintenance and personalized treatment recommendations.
