From the Doctor’s Desk

After what seemed to be a never-ending heat wave this summer, things have finally cooled down and fall is in full swing. Leaves are falling, football season has started, and sweater weather will be here before we know it. I hope you all had memorable summers and got to spend some quality time with friends and family. This summer, I had the opportunity to participate in Blood, Sweat & Gears, a grueling 100-mile bike race in the heart of North Carolina’s High Country. It was definitely a highlight of my summer and a personal achievement that I felt for weeks after the race!

In this issue of Word of Mouth, we take a close look at dental bonding and veneers. If you have a broken or chipped tooth, or another aesthetic issue that has been bothering you, bonding or veneers could be the dental solution you’re looking for. We talk about the difference between the two, what types of dental issues are right for bonding and veneers, the procedure and finally how to maintain bonding and veneers once they are in place so you will have a lasting, healthy, good-looking smile.

We will also discuss digital radiography and its many benefits. At Hagen Dental Practice, we feel that going digital goes a long way in improving the patient experience. It helps us be more efficient, accurate, and finally and most importantly, spend more time with you!

In our patient profile, you will get to know Gil Born, who is a retired University of Cincinnati DAAP professor, as well as a talented painter. Gil has been a loyal patient at Hagen Dental Practice for about 20 years. Know of a Hagen Dental Practice patient with an interesting story to tell?
