Oh how busy we get!

I can't believe it's been as long as it has since our last blog! Needless to say we have been staying busy at Huffines Dental Excellence.

Our team was fortunate enough to attend an amazing seminar last week. The Madow Brothers made a visit to Nashville, thanks to Oral Surgery Associates . We all left the seminar ready to build and grow as a team, but most importantly to better serve our patients. WE LOVE DENTISTRY!

With all the work comes a little play. Dr. Huffines was able to squeeze in a vacation in September to Scotland! Yes, he did quite a bit of golfing. Thankfully he took a few pictures. We posted these on our Facebook page, feel free to check them out.

And lets not forget Dr. Huffines is giving away a brand new 32' LCD FLAT SCREEN TV! All you have to do is refer your friends and family. It's simple. The more people you refer the better your odds are to win.

Give Melissa or Sunny a call at our front desk to schedule your appointment! We look forward to seeing you.

Ivoclar Oven

Our office recently added a new Ivoclar oven to our lab. This oven will be used to to add esthetic value to your CEREC crowns. Dr. Huffines would like to get to the point that the only crowns put in your mouth are the ones made here in our office. We are still learning how to get the absolute best quality out of this amazing technology, but we are more excited than ever! Along with all the information we received in Arizona, we are thrilled to have a training course next week to get us started.

The Scottsdale Center for Dentistry

Dr. Huffines along with two of his assistants spent the weekend in Pheonix, AZ at the Scottsdale Center for Dentistry. The course focused on CEREC training. CEREC is an in office unit that uses digital images to mill an all porcelain crown in our office. This prevents the patient from making an additional trip to our office! We learned about new materials and techniques that will make us more proficient and successful. In the near future we plan on making this technique protocol for all patients needing a crown. Need more information? Call us at the office or click on the link to the Scottsdale Center.

DIAGNOdent

Using the newest technology, we are now able to detect smaller cavities before they become a larger problem. The DIAGNOdent is a harmless laser beam that scans the surface of your tooth giving your dental professional a digital read out showing how much decay is present. Traditional xrays show decay in between the teeth. The pits and fissures on the biting surface of your tooth are some of the hardest areas to detect decay. By detecting decay this early, you are not only saving your natural tooth structure but also your bank account. At Huffines Dental excellence we offer this quick and easy procedure to ALL patients...at no additional cost to you. If you have any questions please feel free to contact our office. We'll be happy to help.

Just taking the opportunity to inform all of our patients and friends that our office will be closed December 31st through January 3rd. We hope that everyone has a safe and happy new year!!!

Continuing Education

The Eubank Institute specializes in providing state of the art educaiton to dental professionals in order for them to provide the best quality of care. The conference focused on essitial occlusion of the teeth and TMJ disorders. Dr. Huffines continues to attend classes such as these to ensure that he provides the dental care his patients deserve.
