Healthy smiles start with a happy team! 😁
We took some time away from the office for a fun team bonding activity filled with laughter, good times, and making memories together.

We spent the day at Cades Cove and enjoyed horseback riding! We were lucky enough to see a lot wildlife including 15 bears, a lot of turkeys and several deer!

Then we ended the day with a late lunch at The Abbey in Townsend! We are so thankful to have such a wonderful team! A special thanks to Dr. Christel and Dr. Micah for such a fun day!

Here's a Quick Overview of Endosteal Implants:
When you lose an adult tooth, it’s important for your dental health that you get it replaced. If you don’t, you risk teeth shifting, further instability in the mouth, and additional tooth loss. It may also cause damage to the underlying bone. One option for replacing lost teeth is an endosteal implant, which is often referred to as a dental implant.
Learn who would be a good candidate for an endosteal implant, what the implantation procedure is like, and how to take care of an implant once you have it.

An endosteal implant is the most common type of dental implant. The process includes surgically inserting titanium screws into the jawbone.

🦷✨ Spreading Smiles Beyond the Office!

Amy and Savanna had the incredible opportunity to visit Lincoln Avenue Preschool and teach students all about the importance of dental health! From proper brushing and flossing techniques to learning how sugar affects their teeth, these kids were full of great questions and bright smiles. 😁

We love getting out into the community and helping build healthy habits early on—because strong, confident smiles start young!

Successful Treatments For Periodontal Disease:
If you have recently been told by your dentist that you have periodontitis, you're not alone.

Tooth loss is often an unfortunate outcome of periodontitis when left untreated. But today, with so many successful periodontitis treatment options available for advanced gum disease, losing teeth doesn’t have to happen.
