Advanced Deep Bleaching

June 9th, 2008

For years bleaching has been a popular option for people looking for a brighter, more appealing smile. At times, the results could be beautiful! Despite all of people success with bleaching, there remain many that are unsatisfied with the results. Perhaps you or a family member has tried to bleach with only marginal success. Perhaps you were told you were too old, that your teeth were too discolored, or you ended up with poor results. For some, their white smiles last only a few short months before coffee, red wine, and other foods discolor them again. For others that want white smiles, bleaching is impossible due to sensitive teeth.

There some great news for all the people that have not been able to get the results they want from bleaching. Dr. Imm is happy to offer a breakthrough in whitening technology—advanced deep bleaching. This is not a new kit or brand of bleaching, but a whole new approach to bleaching that opens up new possibilities for people. This new technique is simply the most effective bleaching method available today, period. The results are staggering.

Teeth that were before impossible to bleach are having drastic result due to the advanced deep bleaching method. For example, previously it was thought impossible to whiten tetracycline stained teeth, but deep bleaching has had amazing results with these patients. The same is true of older adults. These patients were always deemed poor candidates for bleaching, but deep bleaching gets exciting results with these individuals as well.

Another barrier is sensitivity. Many find the pain associated with bleaching too much! You may think your teeth can’t be bleached because of this. Well, the deep bleaching technique also addresses this with cutting-edge desensitizers that drastically reduce, and in most cases eliminate the pain associated with bleaching all together. So, what are you waiting for? Give us a call at 410-876-2096 to schedule a consultation to talk with Dr. Imm about this new technique. Also, feel free to read more about the technique including more before and after photos at http://www.rodtheideaguy.com/patients.html.

Life is Worth Celebrating

May 14th, 2008

Here at All Smiles Dental Care we believe that life is worth celebrating! With this idea in mind, we find one day a month to celebrate. We have celebrated St. Patrick’s Day, Valentine’s Day, and, recently, Earth Day. Earth Day was right at the beginning of spring this past year, and we decided to make it an opportunity to spread the joy of spring by giving out free flower seeds to all our guests that day. What is the next day we’ll celebrate with something fun? You will have to come in to see!

Johnny the bagger

January 8th, 2008

In order to stay on top of new trends in dentistry and the cutting-edge of guest care, the All Smiles team closes down the office twice a month for team training. This past meeting was our annual team training, which is a full day. It is always great to take some time to reconnect as a team and refocus on what is important to us: how to give our guests the best care possible. This past week we talked about a true story of an extraordinary individual, Johnny the bagger, as a wonderful example of guest care to learn from as a team. Johnny is an individual with down’s syndrome that changed an entire grocery store with his example of thoughtful guest care by writing an inspiring “thought of the day” and placing it in each grocery bag he filled throughout the day. Word of this “thought of the day” got out, and quickly Johnny’s grocery line was three times larger than the others because everyone wanted Johnny’s thought for that day. This simple gesture inspired other team members and revitalized the entire grocery store Johnny worked for. Check out the pictures and video about Johnny here…

This kind of special care is a great example of what we try to do each time a guest comes into our office. We want to find ways to make that visit special, just like Johnny did for those coming through his grocery line. So, we leave you with a thought for the day:

The world always looks brighter from behind a smile. ~Author Unknown

Lets have a ball!

January 8th, 2008

While our team is serious about offering the very best dentistry has to offer for each of our guests, we also like to have fun in the process of doing that. One way we do that is with a little healthy inter-office competition. This past month the challenge was to create the best Christmas ball and show off the individual craftiness and creativity of each team member. The results were impressive.

The balls were themed by each individual team member, and most related to a special Christmas memory they had. The themes included the family tradition of cutting down a Christmas tree, to baking Christmas cookies, and favorite Christmas movies. Once the balls were created, they were hung in the lobby and we let our guests act as judges and decide on the winners with their votes. It was a close race, but here are some of the stand-out entries and winners.

Who’s Smile is it Anyway?

August 31st, 2007

The results of Aesthetic Dentistry are dramitic when done well. Over the past month in the office we have had out a game entitled “Who’s Smile is it Anyway?” The game works by trying to match some of our patient’s before photos with their dramatic after photos. This is not as easy as it sounds! The teeth look so completely different that it is hard to even know how it is possible that they could have transformed into the brilliant smile you see in the after shots!

Well, we recently had our first monthly winner of the game. Jason successfully matched 5 before and after photos and was choosen to recieve a $125 gift certificate to Dicks Sporting Goods. Congratulations on your winning the contest Jason!

Every smile has a story (photo session)

June 15th, 2007

One of the best parts of working at All Smiles Dental Care is to get to know the people that come in, and to see their lives changed by the work that we do. It really gives meaning to everything that happens in the office. It is easy to say that, but to see it before your eyes is another thing all together.

That is why we periodically take a day to talk to some of our recent guests, get their experiences at our practice, and to capture some images that help us tell their stories. The images on our website and the testimonials you read come from these special days.

A few weeks back, we had one of these sessions. Throughout the day a lot of beautiful smiles came through our door! Looking at the images from this photo session reminds me of something. Behind each one of these smiles is a story. Every one of the individuals came to All Smiles Dental Care for a different reason, but they all had a story to tell after the process to a beautiful new smile was over.

So, let me ask you: what story is your story? Is it still waiting to be told?

Pictures of Hope

April 20th, 2007

As mentioned a couple weeks back, All Smiles Dental Care was coordinating a charity called Baskets of Hope. The response from our staff and patients was amazing. We were able to create a basket for every woman at the recovery center New Life for Girls. The most amazing part was bringing the baskets to the women and seeing their reaction to the help they recieved. Thanks to everyone that made this such a success, especially those who contributed to the baskets. Below are some of the photos from the event:

Baskets of Hope

April 10th, 2007

A few months back, during a meeting with the All Smiles team, we were talking about what charity to help this spring. That is when this idea developed. We thought: “wouldn’t it be great if we could see new life happen in people this spring?” It is so great to see new life happen to trees, flowers, and grass all around us during this season, but are there not lives that need new life also?

Because of this conversation, our team decided to support the charity New Life for Girls. The organization is located just a couple minutes away from All Smiles Dental Care. New Life for Girls takes girls that want to get away from negative environments (drug abuse, physical abuse, etc.) and helps them start new lives. They do this through a one year program which gives the women positive a positive environment to live in.

We will be supporting New Life for Girls through creation of baskets around Easter time. Patients and staff are welcome to buy essential items these women need and we will be creating a basket for each woman using these items. We are calling the charity Baskets of Hope.
