To Our Valued Patients,

As this newest challenge continues to unfold with COVID-19 (Coronavirus), we wanted to give you an update. First, we are currently maintaining our regular schedule. As of now, the Arizona Department of Health Services is not recommending closure or modification. We will continue to closely monitor information from the CDC and AZDHS and follow their recommendations. We will keep you up to date on any changes we may have to make via emails, our website, and social media.

Second, we would like to give you some insight into our practices to keep our team and patient family safe and comfortable. Dentistry is uniquely positioned to protect our team and patients. On a daily basis, we practice ‘Universal Precautions.’ This means we ALWAYS assume that every patient may be carrying a contagious, dangerous disease and we follow strict guidelines to prevent the transmission of any potential disease, including Hepatitis, Tuberculosis, HIV, AND COVID-19 (Coronavirus). This has been standard of care and regulated by the Centers for Disease Control since the 1980s with the AIDS
epidemic.

These measures include:
1. Strict hand hygiene protocols.
2. Use of single use disposable protective equipment and barriers.
3. Thorough disinfection of exposed or potentially exposed surfaces after every patient visit.
4. Disinfection and high-heat steam sterilization of instruments. Routine monitoring of sterilization verification.
5. Continual education on infection control techniques.

In addition to these mandated measures, we have also implemented:
1. Disinfection of common area surfaces every 30 minutes.
2. Availability of hand sanitizer in common areas.
3. Screening everyone who enters based on CDC recommendations.
4. Pre-procedural mouth rinse.

We are happy to address any concerns you may have. We will continue to care for our patient family during this time following all best practices and will monitor CDC guidelines for any new recommendations.

Thank you for being a part of our family. Thank you for allowing us to care for you and your family. Please know we are here to support you and help you in any way that we can.

In good health,

Most Common Reason to Treat Dental Imperfections

Posted on 3/20/2019 by Dr. Andrew Zeiger

No smile is naturally perfect, but the good news is that if you aren't happy with some of your smile imperfections, you don't have to live with them. You can take steps to improve your teeth in order to achieve the smile of your dreams. These are a few of the most common reasons to treat dental imperfections.

Enjoy a More Beautiful Smile
The most common reason that people want to treat dental imperfections is for cosmetic purposes. This really shouldn't come as a surprise. We all want a beautiful, white smile that we feel proud of, and some simple cosmetic procedures can make dramatic improvements.

Improved Confidence
With a beautiful smile often comes confidence. A great smile can make a major difference in how you see yourself, and you'll make a good impression when you meet new people. When you are no longer concerned about the imperfections in your mouth, you'll even find yourself smiling more. Ultimately, this release of endorphins in your brain will make you feel happier, while your smiling face will also make the people around you happy.

Teeth Are Easier to Clean

When your teeth are chipped, crooked, or otherwise misaligned, they are more difficult to clean. It can be hard to get your brush wedged into tight spaces or to properly floss between gaps, so treating these dental imperfections can help. Ultimately, when you are able to clean your teeth well, your mouth will be healthier.

Eliminate Jaw Pain

Did you know that crooked teeth can actually cause your jaw to hurt? Even slightly crooked teeth alter the balance of your jaw, placing excess stress onto the temporomandiublar joint. You may notice jaw pain or even headaches as a result.

Regardless of why you want to treat your dental imperfections, we are here to help. Call us today to get started.
