“Lifestyle modification, eating habits, surgery, stress reduction, and the patient’s commitment to improving themselves—all are key to achieving a successful outcome for the patient, and we address each at The Maryland Bariatric Center at Mercy,” said Kuldeep Singh, M.D., FACS, MBA, FASMBS.

Noted bariatric specialist Kuldeep Singh, MD, FACS, MBA, FASMBS, has joined Mercy Medical Center to establish a new clinical program: The Maryland Bariatric Center at Mercy, scheduled to open in January 2020. Dr. Singh will lead the new center as Medical Director.

“At The Maryland Bariatric Center, patients will have the support of Mercy’s team every step of the way. Patients will have access to a premier multidisciplinary weight-loss resource. I am extremely pleased to join Mercy in leading this new center, dedicated to addressing two of the most significant health care threats today—obesity and metabolic disease,” Dr. Singh said.

According to Dr. Singh, an emphasis will be placed “not merely on weight loss, but treating the comorbidities associated with being overweight, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, joint pain and other related issues.”

Treatments will include:

  • Gastric Bypass (Roux-en-Y) Surgery (stomach is divided into a small upper pouch and a larger lower pouch and then the small intestine is rearranged to connect to both)
  • Laparoscopic Gastric Sleeve Surgery (approximately 75% of the stomach is removed leaving a narrow gastric “sleeve”; no intestines are removed or bypassed)
  • Revision Bariatric Surgery (may apply to issues that arise following sleeve, bypass, or lap-band surgery; may be recommended due to surgical complication, if patient begins regaining weight, etc).

“Dr. Singh is well known and highly regarded by the medical staff. His comprehensive background in bariatric surgery will complement Mercy’s high-quality Centers of Excellence,” said Dr. Larry J. Fitzpatrick, Chair of the Department of Surgery at Mercy.

The Center’s team of medical, behavioral, nutrition specialists is bariatric-trained and work one-on-one with each patient to create a program tailored to their individual needs. The Center will be located at on the ground floor of The Weinberg Center at Mercy, 250 North Calvert Street in downtown Baltimore.

In addition to the new Mercy center, Dr. Singh will conduct a Mercy clinic one day per week at his office at 7625 Maple Lawn Boulevard, Suite 145 in Fulton, MD.

Patients will be scheduled to participate in a 1-2 hour educational seminar, undergo a one-on-one physician consult, and over a 3-6 month period, meet with a dietitian, take part in a weight loss plan, undergo a regimen of tests/screens including EKG and chest X-ray; consult with a psychologist and attend a pre-op class, all prior to surgery. Post-operative appointments will be scheduled in the months that follow, as well as an annual check-up, Dr. Singh explained.

“At the Center, patients will have access to a premier multidisciplinary weight-loss program that is supported by Mercy’s many strong clinical programs and specialties. For individuals who are suffering from severe metabolic and weight issues, the Center will offer an opportunity to improve their health and quality of life,” said Dr. David Maine, Executive Vice President for Mercy Health Services.

“Lifestyle modification, eating habits, surgery, stress reduction, and the patient’s commitment to improving themselves—all are key to achieving a successful outcome for the patient, and we address each at The Maryland Bariatric Center at Mercy,” Dr. Singh said.

A board certified general surgeon, Dr. Singh is fellowship trained in Advanced Laparoscopic Surgery and Bariatric Surgery with leadership experience as a Medical Director and Program Director. He has also taught numerous residents entering bariatric practices and fellowships.

Prior to joining Mercy, Dr. Singh served as Program Director of the Bariatric Fellowship at St. Agnes Hospital. Dr. Singh completed his Fellowship in Advanced Laparoscopic Surgery at St. Joseph’s Medical Center and his residency in General Surgery at St. Agnes.

Named a “Top Doctor” in Bariatric Surgery by Baltimore magazine for multiple years, and a “Health Care Hero” by The Daily Record, Dr. Singh personally hosts numerous informational seminars to help patients determine whether weight loss surgery is the best option to achieve their health goals.

Founded in 1874 by the Sisters of Mercy, Mercy Medical Center is a university-affiliated medical facility with a national reputation for women’s health. Mercy is home to the nationally acclaimed Weinberg Center for Women’s Health and Medicine, now celebrating its 25th anniversary.

Medgaus Dental Group Transforms Smiles in One Day with TeethXpress® Full Arch Dental Implants in Pittsburgh, PA


Pittsburgh, PA Implant Dentist, Dr. Carl Medgaus.

Dr. Carl Medgaus Offers Same-Day Full Arch Dental Implants to Pittsburgh, PA

With TeethXpress, patients leave with teeth, screwed into the implants, that look great and give them back their smile immediately.

Medgaus Dental Group Patients offers patients with missing or failing teeth, many of whom suffer with loose dentures, a permanent, same-day tooth replacement solution with TeethXpress® dental implants. TeethXpress allows patients to get a new smile that looks and feels natural in just one day, meaning they never have to go a day without any teeth. The team at Medgaus Dental Group offers TeethXpress® as a solution for full arch tooth loss in their Pittsburgh, PA office.

The TeethXpress solution is a revolutionary approach to tooth replacement. Instead of wearing loose dentures and suffering from bone loss, patients can have four to six dental implants placed into their jawbone that act as natural tooth roots. These implants fuse to the bone, forming a strong anchor for the attached bridge of teeth. Because of this stability, patients do not have to worry about their new teeth slipping, clicking, or falling out.

With TeethXpress, patients can have remaining teeth extracted, implants placed and a temporary bridge attached all during the same appointment. They will leave the office with a new smile that allows them to eat, speak and interact with others confidently. Other benefits of TeethXpress include:

  • Healthy jawbone stimulation
  • Longevity to last many years
  • The look, feel and function of natural teeth
  • Secure fit in the mouth
  • Streamlined surgical procedure

Dr. Medgaus and his team at Medgaus Dental Group have over 30 years of experience placing dental implants to help patients replace missing teeth without the hassle of loose dentures. The practice boasts a success rate of 99 percent with the TeethXpress solution, and Dr. Medgaus has placed over 600 full arch cases throughout his career. For those with complex health conditions or severe bone loss, the practice also offers bone grafting solutions to help patients qualify for the treatment. Bone grafting is a process that restores lost bone to create enough bone tissue to secure the dental implants.

“When a patient comes in and they are missing a lot of teeth or their teeth are hopeless, in their mind they think we can only do dentures. That’s when we begin the conversation about TeethXpress,” says lead dentist Dr. Carl Medgaus. “With TeethXpress, patients leave with teeth, screwed into the implants, that look great and give them back their smile immediately.”

Medgaus Dental Group is a modern dental practice that features many state-of-the technologies and procedures. Patients can benefit from cone beam CT scanners to capture panoramic 3D images of their teeth and jaw, dental implant guides for precise implant placement and sedation dentistry options, including IV sedation, to give patients a relaxed, anxiety-free treatment.

Those interested in learning more about TeethXpress dental implants or Medgaus Dental Group are encouraged to schedule a consultation by calling the practice at one of its two locations. The Pittsburgh, PA office can be reached at 412-563-6333 and the Monroeville, PA office at 412-373-0310. Consultations can also be made online by visiting the website at http://www.medgausdentalgroup.com.

About the Dentists

For over 35 years, Medgaus Dental Group has been serving the Monroeville and Pittsburgh, PA areas with genuine and comprehensive dental care. Founder and lead dentist, Dr. Carl Medgaus, is dedicated to continuing education for himself as well as his fellow clinicians. Having treated over 300,000 patients since 1973 and placing over 5,000 dental implants, his results speak for themselves. His associate, Dr. Maelys Aguila, is a native Spanish speaker who shares the same philosophy that changing a smile can change a life. Developing his own full arch dental implant technique, Stabili-Teeth™ Dr. Medgaus and his team also offer life-changing smile makeovers and gum disease treatment, among other services. To learn more about Drs. Medgaus and Aguila, their leading-edge practice, or the services they offer, visit http://www.medgausdentalgroup.com or call their Monroeville office at 412-373-0310 or their Pittsburgh practice at 412-563-6333.

Expert Johnson City, TN Oral Surgeons Offer the Most Advanced Sedation Dentistry Available


The Oral Surgeons of Associated Oral and Implant Surgeons in Johnson City, Kingsport and Bristol, TN

Associated Oral and Implant Surgeons Offer In-Office Sedation and Anesthesia Options

Our oral surgery staff has undergone extensive training in outpatient ambulatory sedation, so that the patient is treated in the safest, most comfortable environment possible.

The skilled oral surgeons of Associated Oral and Implant Surgeons in Johnson City, TN provide patients an opportunity to lessen dental anxiety with sedation dentistry. With a variety of sedation options, the experienced staff at AOIS can administer custom anesthesia options for any treatment, from wisdom teeth extractions, to jaw surgery and dental implant placement.

Most patients that come to an oral surgery office are anxious about their procedure. For patients with any level of dental anxiety, the AOIS oral surgeons offer sedation dentistry, alongside minimally invasive techniques, to help patients relax and enhance their comfort levels. Receiving sedation dentistry in an oral surgeon’s office gives patients a greater range of sedation options to choose from, putting the patient in a much more comfortable state than a simple local anesthetic provides.

Oral surgeons complete extensive training in their residency programs where they administer general anesthesia and become certified to offer IV sedation. Dr. Eilers explains, “Our oral surgery staff has undergone extensive training in outpatient ambulatory sedation, so that the patient is treated in the safest, most comfortable environment possible.” With this advanced training and their state-of-the-art facility, this team is uniquely qualified to administer IV sedation and general anesthesia in office.

Depending on the severity of a patient’s dental anxiety, and the level of treatment that the patient will undergo, the AOIS doctors offer oral sedation, nitrous oxide, IV sedation, and general anesthesia. Not only do patients benefit from receiving sedation from trained oral surgeons who frequently administer these options, but at AOIS, patients have access to general anesthesia, which is typically only available in a hospital setting. With these advanced sedation options, patients generally retain no memory of their procedure.

In addition to their Johnson City, TN office, the Associated Oral and Implant Surgeons team also offers sedation dentistry at their Kingsport and Bristol, TN locations. Individuals with dental anxiety in Kingsport, Bristol, or Johnson City, TN, who are looking for the relaxed and comfortable environment that sedation dentistry creates, can connect with the oral surgeons of Associated Oral and Implant Surgeons for a consultation. To schedule a consultation, visit http://www.aomstri.com.

About the Oral Surgeons

Associated Oral and Implant Surgeons is a renown oral and maxillofacial surgery specialty practice serving patients in the tri-city area for over 20 years. Drs. Carl Eilers, Michael Hamlin, Jason Pickup, Michael Foster, and Nathaniel Wells provide emergency care to patients with maxillofacial trauma at local hospitals in addition to serving their loyal patients at AOIS. The doctors are also all active members of the American Dental Association and the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons. Associated Oral and Implant Surgeons offers state-of-the-art surgical facilities with the most current sterilization, anesthesia monitoring, and imaging equipment at their three locations in Johnson City, Kingsport, and Bristol, TN. The staff is committed to providing high-quality, compassionate care in a timely and considerate manner.

Drs. Gregory Toback and Marianne Urbanski Combat Gum Disease in Waterford, CT with Minimally Invasive Laser Dentistry


Drs. Marianne Urbanski and Gregory Toback, Periodontists in Waterford, CT

Drs. Marianne Urbanski and Gregory Toback Offer LANAP® Gum Surgery Alternative to Waterford, CT

LANAP is the only laser solution that has received FDA clearance to regenerate bone and soft tissue lost to gum disease.

Established periodontists, Drs. Gregory Toback and Marianne Urbanski of Shoreline Periodontics, provide minimally invasive laser gum disease treatment for patients in Waterford, CT. Specifically, this periodontal team offers LANAP® laser gum surgery at their two convenient office locations. This revolutionary method uses modern dental lasers and an FDA-cleared protocol to remove the harmful, disease-causing bacteria that causes gum disease, leaving healthy tissue unharmed and even promoting advanced healing.

As a laser dentistry alternative to more traditional and invasive osseous surgery, LANAP offers several key advantages. First, because LANAP requires no scalpels or sutures, patients enjoy faster healing times and minimal discomfort during and after treatment. For those who experience dental fear or anxiety, Drs. Toback and Urbanski also offer a range of sedation dentistry services to ensure every patient is comfortable during their treatment.

Another benefit of LANAP laser dentistry is the precision afforded to the periodontists administering it. The dental laser used to offer LANAP is the PerioLase® MVP-7™. This modern dental tool can specifically pinpoint areas of unhealthy gum tissues and thus remove destroyed tissue without affecting the healthy surrounding tissue. In fact, LANAP is the only laser solution that has received FDA clearance to regenerate bone and soft tissue lost to gum disease. This groundbreaking discovery ensures gum disease sufferers restore their smile faster and prevent harmful symptoms sooner than alternative surgeries can provide.

Without regular interventions from a periodontist, a gum disease specialist, patients with gum disease can expect to experience progressive degradation of their oral health. Over time, gum disease moves from early gingivitis stages to advanced periodontitis. The only way to avoid losing teeth and bone is by partnering with a trained periodontist. With decades of leading the industry in modern periodontal techniques like LANAP, Drs. Toback and Urbanski are also respected as speakers on new discoveries in the field of periodontics.

Individuals in the Waterford, CT area who present the initial or late-stage warning signs of gum disease such as bleeding or swollen gums, bad breath and loose teeth are invited to contact Drs. Toback and Urbanski to discuss gum disease treatments include LANAP. To contact their New London, CT office, call 860-443-2428. Their Westerly, RI office can be reached at 401-596-0000. Appointments can also be scheduled online at http://www.shorelineperio.com.

About the Periodontists

Shoreline Periodontics is a periodontal practice offering personalized dental care for patients since 1998 and is located in New London, CT and Westerly, RI. Leading board-certified periodontist, Dr. Gregory A. Toback, received his B.A. from St. John’s University and his Doctorate of Dental Medicine from the University of Connecticut. He also received advanced training in periodontics and dental implants at the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio. Dr. Marianne Urbanski has been voted one of Connecticut’s top dentists for more than seven years by Connecticut Magazine. Dr. Urbanski graduated cum laude from the College of Holy Cross in Worcester, Massachusetts where she earned a Bachelors’ degree in Biology. She also received her Doctor of Dental Medicine degree and her Masters’ of Dental Science degree from the University of Connecticut Dental School. Dr. Urbanski and Dr. Toback pride themselves on offering caring, professional treatment to each patient. Dr. Toback and Dr. Urbanski focus on minimally invasive surgeries including LANAP® laser gum surgery and are certified to offer the Chao Pinhole Surgical Technique™ for treatment of gum recession.

Glen Ellyn, IL Dentists Comfortably Straighten Crooked Teeth with Invisalign® Clear Aligners


Drs. Jessica and Thomas Gibbs, Dentists in Glen Ellyn, IL

Drs. Jessica and Thomas Gibbs, Welcome Glen Ellyn, IL for Invisalign® Clear Aligners

Smile Glen Ellyn dentists, Drs. Thomas and Jessica Gibbs, invite patients to their Glen Ellyn, IL practice for Invisalign® treatment. Invisalign orthodontics uses a series of clear, virtually invisible aligners to discreetly straighten crooked teeth.

Patients with a misaligned bite, also known as malocclusion, present both functional and cosmetic concerns. Functionally, crooked teeth increase the risk for trapped food debris that can cause cavities or gum disease, difficulty brushing and flossing properly, trouble biting and chewing, TMJ disorder, and teeth grinding and clenching (bruxism). Cosmetically, crooked teeth are generally considered unattractive and can cause low self-esteem in patients. Invisalign improves occlusion (how the teeth fit together), fixing crowded or gapped teeth, open bite, underbite, overbite, crossbite, and other concerns. Straight teeth decrease the risk of functional issues and significantly improve smile aesthetics.

Many patients find traditional metal braces uncomfortable and unappealing. Invisalign provides a discreet alternative to this method. Able to straighten teeth as effectively as their traditional counterpart, Invisalign is the ideal solution for social teens and professional adults looking to straighten crooked teeth invisibly. The clear aligners are customized to the needs of each patient. A patient wears the aligners for 20-22 hours each day and replaces them approximately every two weeks. Invisalign aligners are removable for eating and drinking, allowing patients to maintain proper oral hygiene and eat an unrestricted diet, as well as socialize without embarrassment.

Drs. Thomas and Jessica Gibbs have decades of combined experience in orthodontics. These experienced dentists have helped many patients straighten their crooked teeth and improve their self-confidence and health with Invisalign treatment. Using the latest technology, they take digital tooth impressions with computer imaging and use advanced 3D software to customize each step in the alignment process. This digital treatment improves the accuracy of fit for the clear aligners and provides a more predictable orthodontic outcome.

Those interested in discreet orthodontics can schedule an appointment at Smile Glen Ellyn. Drs. Gibbs welcome patients from the community of Glen Ellyn, IL for Invisalign, to straighten crooked teeth and improve self-esteem and health. To schedule an appointment, visit http://www.smileglenellyn.com or call 630-858-8800.

Smile Glen Ellyn has been offering the community of Glen Ellyn, IL, comprehensive dental care for over 30 years. Drs. Thomas and Jessica Gibbs provide leading-edge care in their family-friendly office, providing a range of services from general and preventative care, to restorative and cosmetic dentistry.

Drs. Chris LeCuyer and Paul Amato Have Now Treated Over 600 Invisalign® Cases in Seattle, WA


Dr. Paul Amato, Invisalign® Dentist in Seattle, WA

Dr. Paul Amato Gold Plus Invisalign® Provider in Seattle, WA

Trusted and experienced Seattle, WA cosmetic dentists, Drs. Chris LeCuyer and Paul Amato have now treated over 600 Invisalign® cases combined. As Gold Plus Providers of Invisalign, this team is not only experienced in Invisalign treatment but officially recognized for their dedication to offering the most modern techniques in orthodontia. A form of clear braces, Invisalign straightens crooked teeth while remaining nearly invisible to the public eye. Passionate about cosmetic dentistry, Drs. LeCuyer and Amato prefer Invisalign over other orthodontic options due to its discreet nature and quick and effective treatment process.

The Invisalign treatment utilizes a set of clear aligners customized to comfortably shift crooked teeth into a patient’s desired position. Patients wear these clear braces for 20-22 hours a day, replacing the aligners every one to two weeks. Because Invisalign aligners are removable, patients can take them out to eat, brush, and floss. If patients choose to keep their aligners in during social events, the clear braces are rarely detected by others due to their nearly invisible nature.

Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign clear aligners simply rest on the teeth with no need for bulky metal brackets or wires. This process not only straightens crooked teeth, but it improves patients’ bites as well. Invisalign treatment can correct overbites, underbites, and crossbites, improving the overall health and function of a patient’s mouth. Additionally, by straightening teeth, Invisalign improves a patient’s ability to clean and floss the teeth, ridding the mouth of hard to reach places that could trap bacteria that could lead to decay.

Serving the Seattle, WA community for over 30 years, Drs. LeCuyer and Amato are proud to have reached the milestone of over 600 Invisalign cases. Invisalign compliments the comprehensive suite of cosmetic dentistry procedures available by Drs. LeCuyer, Amato, and Lauren Kopp at LeCuyer & Amato Dentistry. In addition to Invisalign clear braces, patients of Drs. LeCuyer, Amato, and Kopp can improve their smiles through teeth whitening, soft tissue recontouring, and the innovative Bioclear Matrix, which quickly and easily fills in black triangles near the gums.

Those looking for clear braces in Seattle, WA are encouraged to connect with Drs. LeCuyer, Amato and Kopp and schedule a complimentary Invisalign consultation to learn more. Consultations at LeCuyer & Amato Dentistry can be made by calling 206-626-5400 or visiting http://www.lecuyeramato.com.

Gummy Smiles in Davidson, NC, Gently Reshaped with Laser Recontouring by White and Haines Advanced Dentistry


Drs. Steven White and Brad Haines, dentists near Davidson, NC.

Drs. Steven White and Brad Haines Balance Smile Aesthetics in Davidson, NC with Laser Dentistry

The dentists of White and Haines Advanced Dentistry welcome patients with excess gum tissue and gummy smiles in Davidson, NC to improve their gum lines with laser gum recontouring. Drs. Steven White, Brad Haines and Colton Fischer use a cutting-edge, minimally invasive laser treatment to balance the appearance of the gum line, while improving the functionality of the gum tissues.

Gummy smiles result from excessive gum tissue that covers a larger than normal portion of the teeth. This creates the illusion that the teeth are smaller, which can be an aesthetic concern for many. Patients who have gummy smiles in Davidson, NC may notice extra gum tissue in sections of their smiles or throughout their entire mouths. From a practical standpoint, excess gum tissue can make cleaning teeth at home more difficult, leading to problems such as plaque build-up, as well as increased risk of periodontal disease and tooth decay.
