Dr. Arnow gives tips on how to keep up good oral health and to keep your dentures their best.

In addition to offering patients the choice of eight styles of Aspen Dental’s exclusive ComfiDents^® brand full and partial dentures, the new practice will provide comprehensive exams, hygiene services, treatment of periodontal (gum) disease, extractions, fillings, oral surgery, whitening, and crown and bridge work. The office features state-of-the-art digital radiography and offers advanced screening for oral cancer.

At this new Aspen Dental location, patients will enjoy:

• Personalized treatment. Quick-fix solutions don’t solve larger or chronic oral health problems. That’s why Aspen Dental takes a comprehensive approach to dental care. Following the initial exam and X-rays, each patient receives a customized treatment plan designed with long-term oral and overall health in mind.

• Wide range of flexible payment options. Cost shouldn’t prevent patients from getting the dental care they deserve. That’s why Aspen Dental offers fees that are below market average, special promotions and senior discounts, and free new-patient exams for patients without dental insurance. Personalized, flexible payment plan options are available for patients who’d like to finance their care. The practice works with all insurance providers and handles the paperwork, saving patients time and hassle.

• Convenient hours and location. The office will be open extended hours, including evenings and select Saturdays, so that patients can receive their care at a time that works for their schedule. Walk-in and emergency patients are welcome.

• Variety of options for denture patients. ComfiDents^® full and partial dentures come in eight styles, giving patients more options than are available at traditional dental practices. Regardless of the denture selected, each is custom-crafted, and the dentist works with every patient to ensure proper fit and comfort. As an added convenience, Aspen Dental has its own on-site denture laboratory, which typically ensures same-day turnaround for denture repairs, relines or adjustments. Free denture consultations are available for all denture patients.

To make an appointment, patients can call 717-630-0010 or 800-ASPEN DENTAL (800-277-3633), or visit www.aspendental.com.

The Cranberry office will offer patients a variety of denture and dental services, ranging from preventive care to general dentistry to restoration. In addition to offering patients the choice of eight different styles of Aspen Dental’s exclusive ComfiDents® brand full and partial dentures, the new practice will provide comprehensive dental exams, hygiene services, treatment of periodontal (gum) disease, extractions, fillings, oral surgery, whitening, and crown and bridge work.

The office features state-of-the-art Kodak Dental Systems digital radiography products to better diagnose and treat patients, as well as Vizilite Plus®, the most advanced technology in oral cancer screening. Vizilite Plus® uses a blue-light, “glowstick” technology that detects oral cancer at its earliest stage.

Dr. Douglas Lippert, who will serve as lead dentist, received his DMD from the University of Pittsburgh School of Dental Medicine and has seven years of clinical experience.

Wide Range of Options for Denture Patients
Aspen Dental’s ComfiDents® full and partial hand-crafted dentures come in eight different styles, giving patients ¬¬more diverse and affordable options than are available at traditional dental practices. Patients can choose from dentures manufactured using two different technologies: heat-injection, which uses high pressure and heat with the highest quality materials to ensure the most precise fit available; and cold-pour, the traditional method that uses fiber acrylic. Regardless of which denture style patients choose, Aspen Dental doctors work with each patient to ensure proper fit and comfort.

As an added convenience to denture patients, the Cranberry office will have its own on-site denture laboratory, which typically ensures same-day turnaround for select new dentures, denture repairs, relines or adjustments.

Providing Access to Comprehensive Dental Care
Many patients do not visit the dentist regularly – according to a 2003 “National Call To Action To Promote Oral Health” by the U.S. surgeon general, fewer than two-thirds of adults report having visited a dentist in the previous 12 months.

Doctors and staff at Aspen Dental work to help break down the barriers that keep patients from getting the oral care they need. That’s why Aspen Dental offers convenient locations, extended hours, affordable fees, a wide range of flexible payment plan options and works with all insurance plans.

Additionally, to help encourage patients to take the first step toward good oral health, Aspen Dental offers free new-patient exams to patients that do not have the benefit of insurance; free denture consultations for all denture patients; special promotions and senior discounts. Patients can learn about what to expect during their first visit to Aspen Dental at www.aspendent.com/appointment.first.visit.html.

The Cranberry office will be open extended hours, including select Saturdays, and will work with all insurance providers. Walk-in patients and those with emergencies are welcome.

“There are a number of reasons that patients put off making a dental appointment, from affordability and convenience to concerns about how much time has passed since their last exam,” said Dr. Gregory Morris, lead dentist. “Our goal is to make sure that patients have a comfortable experience in the dentist’s chair, so we invite the people who live and work in Oak Creek and the surrounding communities to make an appointment with Aspen Dental.”

Dr. Morris earned his DDS degree from Howard University College of Dentistry in Washington, D.C.

“Patients often don’t know what to expect during a dental visit, and hesitate to schedule that first appointment. Our Web site redesign will provide new patients with as much information as possible before visiting an Aspen Dental office, so that they know what to expect from the moment they walk in the door until they sit down in the dentist’s chair for a comprehensive exam,” said Mary Boysman, VP, Brand Marketing and Advertising, Aspen Dental Management, Inc. “We hope that this new online experience will make it easier for current and prospective patients to access dental care, encouraging them to take that first step towards good oral health.”
