Implant retention for removable dentures increases chewing capacity and quality of life exponentially. We’re sharing this recent restorative case involving four implants in the lower arch and a “snap-in” lower denture. Special thanks to our specialist team: Conestoga Oral Surgery and DeLux Dental Laboratory.

I’m just returning from the Pankey Symposium held this year in Denver, CO. We shared two days of phenomenal learning on the topics of inter-disciplinary care, digital smile design and work-flow, practice vision, and communication. Pankey is the only non-profit institute of its kind; the individuals it attracts strive for excellence both professionally and personally. I leave with new energy and excitement!

These photographs are of our study club’s last evening at my home in Lancaster - the rain held off until late! John roasted a delicious pig for us with macaroni and cheese and apple salad sides. I think it’s lovely to have had the opportunity to share my home and upbringing with close friends; it’s sort of like putting a bow on a package.

We were honored to host my study club last Thursday thru Saturday. Eight of my most favorite colleagues travelled from different states for learning, fellowship, and to visit Lancaster County. In between our lectures, we visited Martin’s Pretzel Bakery. Christina gave us a beautiful tour of her third-generation, family business!

Our Latest Invisalign Case Presentation

Maryann’s orthodontic treatment lasted approximately 9 months. We were able to broaden the arches, address anterior crowding, and improve upon the bite for more comfortable movement and tooth preservation.

Thank you, Maryann, for being willing to share your results!

May this Labor Day fill your heart with pride for everything that you’ve accomplished! Sean and I are just leaving Cape May where we hadn’t been in some time; we loved to bring Denis and Lianne here during their childhood. Long walks gave me time to reflect on my team’s consistent hard work, and I feel fortunate for the care we provide together.

We’re excited about our latest Invisalign case which took 15 months to complete. We chose not to correct the posterior cross-bite and instead focused on broadening the arch and addressing the crowding and deep bite. A balanced bite improves both function and aesthetics; it limits future wear. Our final photography shows tooth whitening but no restorative materials!
