“Hey Doc, can you make these white spots on my teeth go away?” Yes we can!
The term “minimally invasive” or ”minimal intervention” has been a common phrase in the medical field for some time now. You may have heard of minimally invasive surgical procedures, including prostate surgery, hip replacements, and heart surgery, that produce less trauma, a smaller scar, and less recovery time. Dentistry has adopted this 21st century approach as well, with a primary emphasis on the management of tooth decay. These principles aim to identify and eliminate the risk factors, and if surgical intervention (filling) is necessary, the goal is to restore the cavity and preserve healthy tooth structure in the process.

Tuesday, October 27th, 2009Tell me more about Deep Bleaching!
Low Sensitivity Deep Bleaching
What You Need To Know
There is no one-visit “fast” bleaching technique today that makes teeth the very whitest they can be. The Deep Bleaching technique was developed by Dr. Rod Kurthy, combining and modifying several techniques; and is regarded as the most effective teeth whitening technique known today. Dr. Kurthy’s Evolve Dental Technologies, Inc. Deep Bleaching products have been specifically designed to be used with his Deep Bleaching Technique, achieving the renowned Deep Bleaching results, but with much less of the common sensitivity and pain associated with other bleaching gels. The Deep Bleaching technique gets teeth significantly whiter than ever. Patients who previously were unable to bleach as white as they would have liked (because of “bleaching resistant teeth” or acute sensitivity) can now bleach significantly whiter.

Dr. Tom Dudney – Diplomate ABAD
Monday, October 19th, 2009
Dr. Thomas E. Dudney, of Greystone Smile Design, recently completed the requirements for Diplomate status in the American Board of Aesthetic Dentistry.
In the early 1990’s, as a result of the rapid growth in aesthetic dentistry, it was determined that closer cooperation among the various dental organizations and the academic institutions was imperative and that universal professional standards should be developed. The Aesthetic Educational Parameters was assembled to evaluate the need for these standards. A committee was formed in January, 1993 consisting of 17 highly recognized individuals across a wide gamut of the aesthetic dental community. From the results of the committee’s work the American Board of Aesthetic Dentistry was formed.
Teeth Whitening Myths Revealed
Friday, October 16th, 2009
“We live in a material world, and I am a material…boy.” Thanks in part to TV, internet, billboards, and magazines, physical appearance has become the initial way to measure a person’s worth. As bad as it sounds, first impressions are based on looks, and studies show that the shape and color of a person’s teeth are qualities that receive the most attention.
With that said, teeth whitening still reigns supreme in cosmetic dentistry because it’s easy, affordable, and produces drastic results. Yet, only 15% of the population has tried it, and the misinformation on the subject is widespread. Read on for answers to your frequently asked questions, and the facts to disprove all myths.

The DIAGNOdent from KaVo
I have a friend who went to a new dental office a few years ago and was diagnosed with 8 cavities, even though his last dentist claimed he was cavity-free just 6 months earlier. Sound familiar? This has become a big issue in the dental world because the diagnosis of most cavities (the ones that can’t be seen on x-rays) is very subjective – based on the expert opinion of the dentist at hand.

Canker Sores and Cold Sores – What’s the Difference and What to Do?
This is a question that arises quite often, and is usually followed by “how did I get them?” and then “how do I get rid of them?” Sores in the mouth can be painful and annoying, and generally come at the most inopportune time – and for a reason as you’ll see.
