'Stabilizing' Your Teeth During Today's Economy
Preserving Your Teeth From Further Damage or Loss

We all know that over the last two years that the economy has not been this scary since the 'Great Depression'.  I have had numerous patients come to see me for dentistry during this economic crisis who have felt afraid and helpless about their teeth for a variety of reasons. 

Like many of these patients, have you recently noticed any of the following conditions about your smile:

Do you have any broken or chipped teeth or dental restorations?
Do you have pain in one or more of your teeth?
Is the stress in your life causing to you to 'grind' or 'clench' your teeth ?
Do you have so many teeth that need to be treated that you feel like "what's the sense?"

If you answered 'yes' to any one of those questions then now is the time to take control of what is happening with your teeth!  Doing nothing at all will be more expensive and likely more painful then not taking steps now to stop the disease process and damage from spreading.

Call us now to find out how we can help you gain control of your dental problems by creating a 'stabilization' plan that addresses your immediate problems now and sets you up for future long term treatment when you are ready for it!!


Technology

New Technology in Dentistry
"Friend or Foe" - What's in Your Best Interest?

Technological advances in dentistry are happening at record paces.  There have been more new technologies and breakthroughs in the dental profession in the last ten years then at any prior time in history.

Our philosophy regarding technology is that we will not purchase or implement any new technologies unless they have a clinically proven track record of success.  We also believe that it is important to rely on fundamental diagnostic skills and master technical skills to achieve clinical predictability and long term success.

With that being said, we are constantly researching and analyzing new techniques and technologies.  We base our decision to implement new technologies on the following factors:

1.     There is a direct benefit to our patients in terms of raising the quality of care that we can provide.

2.     The technology allows our dental team to perform their duties in a more systematic, efficient, and safe manner.

3.     The capital investment in the new technology makes financial sense for the Practice.

 If you have any questions about new technologies in dentistry, whether you first heard about them from the media, a friend or family member, or a member of our staff then please do not hesitate to ask one of our team members about it.  We pride ourselves on always being 'ahead of the wave' and being your source of information on topics dentistry.
