Dr. Billy Laun was grateful to speak to the Cape Girardeau Dental Study Club for the 3rd year in a row!

This year’s topic focused on dental office emergencies and the importance of patient safety. Every patient’s medical history, medications, allergies, social history, and health alerts matter — and we review these carefully to help provide safe, high-quality oral surgery care.

Thank you to the referring dentists and dental specialists in the Cape Girardeau, Jackson, and Perryville areas for their continued trust and collaboration.

This weekend, we had the privilege of taking our team to St. Louis for dinner at the St. Louis Club and an overnight stay at The Ritz-Carlton.

Since 2021, our office has worked with Levin Group Dental Consultants to continually improve our practice and the patient and referring office experience. Dr. Roger Levin often speaks about the standard of “5-star customer service,” using The Ritz-Carlton as an example of excellence.

We wanted our team to experience that same level of service firsthand — and, more importantly, to show our appreciation for the care, dedication, and professionalism they bring to our patients and referring offices every day.

Our team is the heart of our practice, and we are so grateful for everything they do to help us provide exceptional oral surgery care.
