In October of this year, we hosted our last continued education course of the year and it couldn’t have gone any better, we had a full house! We had the pleasure of having Dr. Geoffrey Cunningham as a speaker.

This summer we hosted our second continued education event and had the pleasure of having Thomas Viola as our speaker. He is the founder of “Pharmacology Declassified”, is a board-certified pharmacist who also serves the professions of dentistry as a clinical educator, professional speaker, and published author. Tom is a member of the faculty of ten dental professional degree programs and has received several awards for outstanding teacher of the year. Tom has presented hundreds of continuing education courses to dental professionals, nationally and internationally, in the areas of oral pharmacology and local anesthesia and is well-known for his regular contributions to several dental professional journals.

This past month all our team got together to enjoy some quality time together, outside of the office. We had everyone from our Burke, Reston and Alexandria office join us at Burke Lake Park. It was great having everyone together to enjoy some good food, music and games. The cherry on top of everything was the weather! We were a bit worried about it being so hot since earlier that week it was in the mid and high 90s. Luckily, mother nature looked out for us and we had a blast, take a peek a some of the pictures below!

Earlier this year, our Reston office was relocated to a different part of Reston. No worries, we didn’t go too far. We’re only 0.7 miles away from our old office. We are no longer on Sunset Hills Road we are now on Commerce Park Drive, right across the toll road from where our old office was located. We have 4 brand-new, state-of-the-art operatories, all outfitted with the latest technology and build for the comfort of our patients.

We had our last continued education lecture of 2017 last month and it was great! We had the pleasure of working with Fortress Insurance Company, who was able to provide our speaker of the evening, Dr. Ragan. It was a full house and we thank everyone that was able to attend.

Sedation dentistry is a technique used to help people who suffer from dental anxiety. It uses a mild sedative to induce a relaxed, calm state free from any stress or tension. It’s often used in conjunction with local anesthetic for optimum comfort during dental procedures. It does not induce unconsciousness, as with general anesthetic

We hope that everyone’s summer ended on a successful note! As we all welcome the fall season, hot cider and sweet treats, we have one more person we’d like to welcome…

In September, Nobel Biocare and Vision Artist Dental Lab partnered with us to provide our referring doctors with a hands-on experience. This course provided a brief overview of surgical protocol. A discussion of tretment planning, work flow and a guided step-by-step, hands on conversation regarding All-On-4 hybrid prothesis. All necessary components were provided including a prosthetic model, the restorative components, and instruments. Our guest speakers were Donna Scott with Nobel Biocare and Ed Loyola with Vision Artist Dental Lab. 

This past Tuesday, June 13th we hosted our second CE event of the year, sponsored by Keystone at Landini Brothers in Alexandria, VA. We had the pleasure of having doctor Mariano Polack, DDS, MS as our speaker.
