Super Bowl Champion New Orlean Saints

At the beginning of the football season, the New Orlean Saints began using a revolutionary new athletic mouthguard called the Pure Power Mouthguard.  These custom made mouthguards not only protect the teeth from potential damage while playing football, but also improve the performance of the athlete.  By moving the jaw into the correct position, the effect has increased balance, flexibility, range of motion and endurance resulting in an improvement in their performance.  Other professional athletes, such as golfers, baseball players, downhill skiers and basketball players, have also tried these mouthguards and have had many successes.  Hopefully, the Cardinals might try this next season!

Insurance Reminders

For those of you who have insurance, don't forget that most of them renew in January and your full benefits become available.  If you don't use it you lose it.  If you know you are in need of treatment call Traci and she can set up your appointment and work out any other financial arrangements that you may need.

Some of you may not already know that we are now accepting other insurance plans in addition to Delta Dental in our practice.  We know that every little bit helps and we hope that during these difficult times that our patients will still be able to have the highest quality of treatment needed.  

The following plans we are now accepting:

• Delta
• Cigna
• Humana
• United Concordia
• Dentemax (encompasses many different plans from all over the country - call Traci for more information) 

Invisalign

If you didn't already know, we have been providing Invisalign (clear removeable braces) in our office.  As comfortable as bleaching trays and removeable when eating and brushing and in most cases more affordable than braces.  Call for more information and to schedule a complimentary consult to see if you would be a candidate.

Forever White - Free Whitening

Just a friendly reminder, if you are on the "Forever White" program, don't forget to schedule your cleaning no later than 7 months so that you don't lose your complimentary whitening bleach.

SmileTrain

We are still participating in the SmileTrain Charity that provides cleft lip and palate surgery in developing countries.  For every ZOOM in-office bleaching that you do, we will donate $25 towards the SmileTrain.  For every 10 donations 1 child will receive everything necessary for the surgery they so desperately need.  You can check out their website at http://smiletrain.org thank you for your support. 

 Have a great day!
