Halloween Q&A with Dr. Ionescu of Dentistry by Design, Elk Grove

Celebrating 20 Years of Dentistry by Design ❤️

This month marks a very special milestone for Dentistry by Design — 20 years of caring for our community.
Twenty years ago, Dr. Horia Ionescu opened the doors with a simple goal: to provide excellent dentistry while treating every patient with honesty, respect, and genuine care. Over the years, dentistry has changed, technology has changed, and our office has grown — but that commitment has remained the same.

Behind every successful practice is a team of people who bring it to life every day. We are incredibly grateful for our wonderful staff, including team members who have been with us for 10, 15, and even all 20 years. Their skill, loyalty, compassion, humor, and dedication have helped make Dentistry by Design not simply a workplace, but a place where people have grown together and where lasting relationships have been formed.

And most importantly, thank you to our patients. Some of you have been with us since the very beginning. You have trusted us with your care, referred your families and friends, brought your children to us, and allowed us to become a small part of your lives. There is no greater compliment than that trust.

To Dr. Ionescu, our team, our patients, and everyone who has been part of these past two decades:

Thank you for 20 wonderful years. Here’s to the people, the memories, the smiles — and the years still to come. ❤️

Happy 20th Anniversary, Dentistry by Design!

Your Mouth and Your Health: What the Science Really Shows

The mouth isn't isolated from the rest of the body. Keeping teeth and gums healthy reduces infection and inflammation and may contribute to better overall health.

Inflammation: Periodontal (gum) disease causes chronic inflammation and increases bacteria in the mouth. Oral bacteria and inflammatory products can enter the bloodstream, while bacteria in saliva can also reach the lungs.

Lungs: Oral bacteria can contribute to pneumonia, particularly in older, hospitalized, or medically vulnerable people. Better oral hygiene has been associated with fewer respiratory infections in hospitals and nursing homes.

Heart and blood vessels: Gum disease is associated with cardiovascular disease and stroke, and people with periodontal disease often have higher levels of inflammatory markers such as C-reactive protein (CRP). Oral bacteria have also been found in atherosclerotic plaques. However, this does not prove that gum disease causes heart attacks or strokes, or that treating it prevents them.

Diabetes: This relationship goes both ways. Diabetes increases the risk of periodontal disease, while significant gum inflammation can make blood sugar harder to control. Treating periodontal disease can modestly improve long-term blood sugar levels in people with diabetes.

Cancer and cognitive decline: Studies have found associations between periodontal disease and certain cancers, dementia, and Alzheimer's disease. These are important areas of research, but a cause-and-effect relationship has not been established.

The bottom line: Oral health and overall health are connected in important ways, with particularly strong evidence involving diabetes, inflammation, and respiratory infections. Taking care of your teeth and gums isn't just about preventing cavities or maintaining a nice smile—it's a sensible part of taking care of your overall health.
Healthy mouth, healthier you. Don’t put off your dental care—call Dentistry by Design of Elk Grove to schedule your next visit

20 Years with Dentistry by Design ✨
This September marks a very special milestone for Erin — 20 years with Dentistry by Design.
Over two decades, Erin has been part of the growth and history of our practice, sharing in countless busy days, changes, challenges and successes. Along the way, she has built lasting relationships with generations of patients and has become an important part of Dentistry by Design.
Twenty years of loyalty, dedication and commitment deserves something special. And because anyone who knows Erin knows how much she loves Disney, we knew exactly what would make her happy: a Walt Disney World vacation for Erin and her partner. 🏰✨ She was thrilled, and we couldn't have picked a more fitting way to recognize such an extraordinary milestone.
Happy 20th Anniversary, Erin! ❤️
Thank you for everything you have given to Dentistry by Design over these twenty years. We appreciate you and hope your Disney vacation brought you all the fun and magic you deserved.
Dr. Ionescu and DBD Team

❤️ Happy Grandparents Day! ❤️

Today we celebrate the grandparents and older adults who have spent a lifetime caring for their families. As they age, sometimes it becomes our turn to give a little extra care back.

Older patients may need more time, additional assistance, appointment reminders, special accommodations, or simply a little extra patience and understanding.

At Dentistry by Design, we understand that every stage of life comes with different needs. Our team is prepared to provide the extra attention and accommodations our older patients may need so they can feel comfortable, respected, and well cared for throughout their visit.

To all the wonderful grandparents in our Elk Grove community, we wish you a very Happy Grandparents Day! ❤️

Dentistry by Design — caring for smiles through every stage of life.
