The general dentists and specialists at HealthPark Dentistry enjoy celebrating Valentine’s Day. We give bright colored carnations to our patients and Dr. Mason gives bright red helium heart-shaped balloons to the kids!
If you’re in the Tipp City and Troy OH area and love Valentine’s Day as much as we do – come see us next year on February 14th!
Can you get a written guarantee on that medical treatment you just completed? How about a warranty on that elective surgery in which you just spent several thousand dollars?
Dr. Charles Smith and Dr. Steve Pierson, general dentists at HealthPark Dentistry, provide a written warranty on dental treatment.
The warranty is good for all major treatment – let’s take crowns, for example. The way the warranty works is that if your crown chips or fails in some way within 3 years of placement, then the dentists will repair or replace it at no fee to the patient, as long as the patient has come in for regular checkups. This same warranty holds for fillings – and even sealants. So, for $36 you can have a sealant placed in your child’s mouth – and if it chips off, then we will replace it for you at no fee for up to 3 years!
Providing a written warranty for dental treatment is unique. Many dentists will say they stand behind their work, but we have never seen another dentist willing to put this into writing, the way HealthPark does.
So – why offer a written warranty? Dr. Smith and Dr. Pierson practice conservative, high-quality dentistry that they feel confident will last. They also want to encourage people to come in for their regular checkups - that way, they can catch a problem that is just starting - perhaps a rough edge – and that can be smoothed out, avoiding more significant problems in the future. They also realize how expensive dental treatments have become, and by offering a warranty, patients can feel more confident in investing in their mouths knowing that they won’t have to turn around in the short term and spend the money again.
For all patients at HealthPark Dentistry, if you have had dental treatment – then you have this warranty right now! To make sure that your warranty doesn’t expire, please be sure to stay on time for your regular checkups. If you’re not sure when your next due date is for a dental cleaning and exam, just call or email us and we’ll be happy to check for you!
Many people who wear complete dentures learn to tolerate them, but they really miss their natural teeth. Studies show that you only get 20% of the chewing ability with dentures that you had with your natural teeth. Even worse, as we age, the ridges that support the dentures shrink away and we lose the fatty tissue that pads the ridge for chewing comfort and fills out our lips to prevent vertical lines.
You can’t watch an evening of TV without seeing at least one commercial selling glue to hold your dentures in!
In almost every case, the problem is the lower denture. The upper denture has several advantages:
1. The roof of the mouth is covered, which creates suction.
2. The tongue doesn’t continually move the upper denture around.
3. The upper ridge is almost always bigger than the lower and stabilizes the upper denture better.
Today, there are several technical improvements to help people wear a lower denture.
1. The teeth in the lower denture are flattened so they don’t catch on the cusps of the upper back teeth and push the lower denture side to side.
2. The back teeth are set in a slight curve to allow some overlap of the front teeth while balancing the front and back teeth so they always support each other.
3. Implants solve the problem of stability of a lower denture, but they add to the cost.
By the time people have used up their natural teeth, they are tired of the way their teeth look. In fact, they often stop showing their teeth when they smile. As a result, when it’s time to choose the teeth for their denture, they often pick perfectly white, perfectly straight teeth. The problem with this is that now everyone knows you’re wearing a denture! Today, there are several advances to help you have an attractive, natural smile.
If you have a set of dentures that don’t fit – or you think you’re ready for your first set of dentures and you live in the Tipp City and Troy OH area, you’re invited to come in and meet Dr. Smith. He has been helping people with their dentures for 40 years. It takes some adjustment to learn how to chew with new dentures – and Dr. Smith works with people for several appointments to help them make this learning curve as smooth as possible. Just call and schedule your appointment with Dr. Smith to talk about your concerns with dentures and find out how he can help you.
Happy early Valentine’s Day! If you’re looking for something special for your children or your family to celebrate this loving holiday, how about giving them candy that’s good for your teeth?
You can buy chocolate, gum and candy that actually help reduce tooth decay! Yes, chocolate that’s good for your teeth!!
We met Dr. John of Dr. John’s Candies at a dental conference last February and taste-tested his delicious treats – and they were absolutely wonderful.
Check out their candy store: http://drjohns.com/candystore/c-5-candies-with-xylitol.aspx and use code AAAJ (which I think gives you a HealthPark Dentistry discount) when you purchase.
If gum is your preference, we think Epic brand gum tastes the best – plus it comes with a guarantee – if you register for their program and actually chew gum or eat candy regularly and you end up with more cavities than when you started – they give you all your money back!! I can tell you, you’ll spend less on gum & candy than you will on the smallest filling – and I’m sure you’ll enjoy the experience of gum & candy far more than getting a dental filling.

Here’s to sharing the gift of health to your children and loved ones this holiday!
