CLEAR ALIGNER THERAPY OR INVISIBLE BRACES

November 19th, 2009

Invisalign was the company that educated us all about clear aligner therapy, or invisible braces. Starting about 3 years ago you probably first saw it on television. I took Invisalign seminars and started treating patients that needed simple realignment of crowded or misaligned teeth. Now other competing companies are entering the scene and our office has selected CLEAR CORRECT as the most workable, cost effective system. Yes, we will be able to cut our fees for orthodontic straightening of teeth. Call 781-341-8966 for more information.

LAUGHTER IS GOOD MEDICINE

November 12th, 2009

As you enter our office or sit comfortably in the dental chair you may hear laughter. When you think of places that make you laugh you usually do not think DENTAL OFFICE. But here we do laugh! Looking at our vision statement we see that “our vision is to provide ideal, comfortable dental care in an environment that leaves everyone smiling.”

Does that mean we don’t take our work seriously? Not at all. We love our work; each task is done aiming at excellence. Joy comes with job satisfaction. The joy manifests itself as laughter—staff laughing with patients, patients sharing stories with the doctor, staff laughing with each other because they love working together. We sincerely hope our laughter is contagious and in these times of CATCHING SOMETHING you catch some of it!

So what is special about Dr. Disharoon’s office? Many things are special but let me share one recent experience. Last week a patient not only had a tooth ache but her physical illness was offering many challenges on the day of her visit: pain upon walking, nausea from medication, only to mention a couple. Upon evaluation we realized her mouth pain was coming from an abscess that needed to be treated in the specialist’s office across the street. Our patient support staff called over to the specialist and thank goodness they could see her within an hour. But she needed to take a prescription medication before he saw her. One of our staff went to the pharmacy, picked up her medication while she went over to his office and got as comfortable as possible in his reception room. The dental assistant/”drug runner” then took the medication over to her. Within no time her pain was releived, she had all the medication she needed and she could go home and rest. She didn’t need a ride home but we have been known to drive patients home when necessary. We LOVE taking special care of our patients! How can we take care of you?
