Belle Meade Family Dentistry Restores Smiles with Bone Grafts and Dental Implants in Nashville, TN


Drs. James Pace Jr., James Pace Sr., and Temp Sullivan, Dentists in Nashville, TN

Belle Meade Family Dentistry Improves Dental Implant Candidacy in Nashville, TN

With dental implants, patients can experience a more natural quality of life as implants feel, look and function just like real teeth.

Patients seeking dental implants in Nashville, TN can improve their candidacy for the treatment with a bone graft at Belle Meade Family Dentistry with or without a referral. A bone graft is a dental treatment that rebuilds deteriorated jawbone, restores jawbone density and volume and in most cases, allows patients to qualify for life-changing dental implants. Belle Meade Family Dentistry offers modern bone grafting care as part of a comprehensive treatment plan to restore patients’ oral health and overall quality of life.

Patients who qualify for a bone graft, experience jawbone deterioration often caused by tooth loss, oral damage or disease. When the jaw bone deteriorates, there is less bone structure to support teeth, which can cause remaining teeth to begin to shift or fall out. Additionally, jawbone loss alters a patient’s facial appearance, causing an aged, sunken-in look. Without this bone, dental implants, the most preferred tooth replacement solution available today, cannot be placed.

The best solution to bone loss is a bone graft, which can restore bone volume, renew a natural-looking facial appearance and help patients qualify for the placement of dental implants. At Belle Meade Family Dentistry, the practice incorporates bone grafting into their treatment plans for replacing teeth. The practice begins with a cone beam CT scan of the mouth and jaw to capture detailed images of the bone volume, tooth location and position of nerves. This scan is then used to help plan where the bone graft will need to be performed and where to position the dental implants. The graft material is composed of bone granules that are packed around the bone recession and protected to heal. After healing for several weeks to a few months, dental implants will have sufficient bone support to be placed.

Belle Meade Family Dentistry offers advanced tooth restoration solutions depending on each patient’s needs. For those with individual missing teeth, single dental implants can be placed and restored. Patients who are missing most or all of their teeth can benefit from All-on-4® full mouth dental implants, which utilizes as few as four implants to support a lifelike bridge of teeth. The practice also features teeth-in-a-day dental implant solutions, which allows them to create natural, long-term crowns that can be affixed to dental implants the same day surgery takes place. With dental implants, patients can experience a more natural quality of life as implants feel, look and function just like real teeth.

Patients in need of a bone graft to qualify for dental implants are encouraged to contact Belle Meade Family Dentistry by calling 615-298-2030 or visiting the website http://www.bellemeadedental.com to schedule a consultation.

Dr. Amir HagShenas Provides Comfortable, Clear Braces to San Jose, CA with Invisalign® Clear Aligners


Dr. Amir HagShenas, Dentist in San Jose, CA

Dr. Amir HagShenas Provides Invisalign® Clear Braces to San Jose, CA

The aligners are molded to achieve gentle, firm movement, and provide just enough force to realign the teeth.

Dr. Amir HagShenas of Silicon Valley Smile Solutions welcomes adolescents and adults correct crooked smiles with Invisalign® clear aligners. For many individuals seeking straighter teeth, clear braces offer an ideal way to discreetly receive orthodontic treatment. At Silicon Valley Smile Solutions, Dr. HagShenas and his team strive to offer the most advanced orthodontic solutions, tailored to each patient’s unique needs.

Having properly aligned, more aesthetically pleasing teeth is important to many. Studies show that 81 percent of individuals feel as if their smile looks unattractive in images. Those who choose to straighten crooked teeth with an orthodontic treatment such as clear braces report greatly improved confidence.

Dr. HagShenas’ Invisalign patients can expect to wear customized clear aligners over their teeth for 20 to 22 hours per day. The aligners are molded to achieve gentle, firm movement, and provide just enough force to realign the teeth. About every two weeks, patients remove their current aligner to replace it with a new one. By the end of the treatment, their teeth have shifted into the desired straightened position.

Typically, Invisalign achieves results faster and more comfortably than traditional bracketed braces. Additionally, patients can remove the aligners to eat and perform oral hygiene routines. Teenagers and adults, especially professionals and athletes, appreciate the low-profile of clear braces. Although retainers must be worn after undergoing Invisalign treatment, the use of retainers is relegated to evenings and overnight.

Dr. HagShenas strives to provide the highest level of care for his San Jose patients in every procedure. In addition to Invisalign, Dr. HagShenas provides other cutting-edge treatments including dental implants and full arch dental implant treatments.

Those in San Jose, CA interested in finding out if Invisalign is right for their needs are invited to make a consultative appointment with Dr. HagShenas by calling 408-377-5134 or visiting http://www.svsmilesolutions.com.

JawFixers Customizes Full Mouth Reconstruction with Expert Oral Surgery in West Hartford, CT


Drs. Joel Rosenlicht and Ryaz Ansari, Oral Surgeons serving Manchester, CT and West Hartford, CT

Drs. Joel Rosenlicht and Ryaz Ansari Customize Oral Surgery in West Hartford, CT

The most important part about being an oral surgeon is the dramatic change you can make on people’s lives.

Patients in need of advanced or complex oral surgery in West Hartford, CT and surrounding areas can receive customized treatments from Drs. Joel Rosenlicht and Ryaz Ansari of JawFixers. Full mouth reconstruction is often recommended when patients require multiple treatments or advanced oral surgery, such as dental implant treatment, to restore function to their mouth. As oral surgeons, Drs. Rosenlicht and Ansari offer leading care backed by years of education and experience paired with cutting-edge technology.

“The most important part about being an oral surgeon is the dramatic change you can make on people’s lives, especially when you are able to do something you feel only you can do,” says Dr. Ansari. “That goes for complex cases, which are often rare circumstances. You take all your knowledge and put it together to offer the patient truly unique treatment. When that succeeds, that is what being an oral surgeon is all about.”

Full mouth reconstruction is a treatment plan used in oral surgery that combines multiple oral and maxillofacial procedures together to produce a desired outcome. At JawFixers, that treatment plan is uniquely designed for each patient after a comprehensive consultation and exam. This team utilizes advanced technology, modern dental techniques and sedation dentistry to give patients a plan that targets their concerns specifically. Common treatments used in full mouth reconstruction oral surgery include:

  • Dental implants
  • Bone grafts and sinus lifts
  • Corrective jaw surgery
  • Tooth extractions
  • Guided tissue regeneration

Patients who need complex oral surgery often experience tooth loss, jaw pain, facial trauma, extensive tooth decay, and widespread bone loss throughout their jaw. These factors are all taken into consideration when creating a full mouth reconstruction treatment plan. Drs. Rosenlicht and Ansari use i-CAT® 3D cone beam CT imaging to capture detailed images of a patient’s mouth in order to fully understand the extent of the patient’s needs. When a patient requires dental implants, they use X-Guide™, a guided dental implant technology that assists the oral surgeons in placing the implant in the most accurate location of the jaw for long-lasting stability. Drs. Rosenlicht and Ansari also care about patient comfort, offering sedation dentistry to help ease anxiety and block sensations of pain.

Once completed, full mouth reconstruction can restore a patient’s ability to speak, eat, breathe and resume normal oral function without pain or struggle. For those who have experienced severe oral and facial trauma as a result of an accident, the treatments can restore a sense of normalcy to their lives. Treatments such as dental implants can often serve multiple purposes, like preventing further bone loss, improving confidence and allowing patients to eat a wide variety of food again.

Those interested in learning more about full mouth reconstruction, or who would like a customized treatment plan for their oral surgery needs, are invited to contact JawFixers by calling 860-649-2272 for their Manchester, CT office or 860-232-4606 for their West Hartford, CT location. Appointments can also be made on the website, http://www.jawfixers.com.

Nash Family Dentistry Eases Dental Anxiety with Sedation Dentistry in Vicksburg, MS


Drs. Kenneth and Jonathan Nash, Dentists in Vicksburg, MS

Drs. Kenneth and Jonathan Nash Relieve Dental Anxiety in Vicksburg, MS

When we offer sedation, we are monitoring everything. It is very safe and, for patients, they get the benefit of getting a lot of work done in a short amount of time.

Drs. Kenneth and Jonathan Nash offer soothing sedation dentistry to counter dental anxiety for their Vicksburg, MS patients, helping them receive the dental care they need. Patient comfort during dental procedures is a top priority for the dentists at Nash Family Dentistry. This practice creates a relaxing environment and offers a variety of sedation options that help ease anxiety and block sensations of discomfort during treatments.

Dental sedation is often used to help patients with dental anxiety receive the care they need without fears or discomfort. Nash Family Dentistry offers both oral and nitrous oxide sedation as conscious sedation options. These forms of sedation help patients relax, yet still stay awake during the procedures.

“When we offer sedation, we are monitoring everything,” Dr. Kenneth Nash explains. “It is very safe and, for patients, they get the benefit of getting a lot of work done in a short amount of time.”

Sedation dentistry is a very safe technique that is used frequently at Nash Family Dentistry. Patients are closely monitored during sedation, watching pulse, heart rate and blood pressure for safety. When anxiety and fear is no longer a concern, patients are able to receive more dental care in a shorter amount of time. This means treatments can often be completed during one appointment rather than being separated into multiple appointments.

In addition to sedation dentistry, Nash Family Dentistry also offers minimally invasive and comfortable dental care with the help of laser dentistry and ClearCorrect orthodontics. Laser dentistry takes the scalpels and sutures out of dentistry, able to perform dental care with just laser light. ClearCorrect orthodontics offers tooth alignment with gentle clear aligners that are both removable and virtually invisible in the smile. The practice also prides itself on patient communication and calls every patient after their appointment, no matter how small the treatment, to make sure they are still comfortable and not experiencing any problems.

Those interested in learning more about the practice, or who want to experience the benefits of sedation dentistry to help ease dental anxiety, are encouraged to call Nash Family Dentistry at 601-634-1812 or schedule a consultation online at http://www.vicksburgdentist.com.

A New Approach for People Who Have Experienced Trauma


https://www.prweb.com/

Over 50 Worksheets for the Treatment of PTSD

Practical tools for hard to treat problems like impulsivity, sexual dysfunction, hallucinations, and memory issues.

According to psychologist Tijana Mandic, trauma has become the “new normal” for people in every society. She explains, “The world is being defined by uncertainties, contradictions, complexities, and chaos,” and where trauma was once considered a rare human experience, modern psychology has now expanded the concept of trauma to include a wide variety of life-changing events. Dr. Mandic notes that “nearly every one of us will experience at least a mild trauma at some time during our lives.” Yet, most of us are not taught the tools to recover from trauma.

Dr. Mandic brings decades of experience to her thoughtful work. Her background has included treating trauma victims ranging from refugees of war to victims of natural disasters and political turmoil. While alleviating symptoms is important, Dr. Mandic believes that this is just the first step in helping people with trauma. Her workbook takes people on a journey from overcoming their symptoms to developing resiliency skills that will help them deal with additional life problems, enabling them to open themselves to daily experiences of happiness and fulfillment.

The workbook has been hailed as a “master-class” for therapists treating clients with PTSD, but also as a toolbox of highly practical techniques. The workbook provides over 50 practical worksheets and exercises to treat a wide variety of problems that are often overlooked or deemed too complex for treatment, including: handling impulsive behaviors, understanding the effect of trauma on memory, dealing with hallucinations, rebuilding trust, and much more. The book provides tools to help clients pursue happiness in their lives, develop closer relationships with their loved ones, and discover joy and balance.

The workbook is being sold at major online retailers as well as CounselingStore.com, where along with their paperback copy, readers can get immediate access to a digital version of the book to print out the exercises.

Dr. Mandic also gives workshops around the world on treating people with trauma as well as overcoming creative blocks.

“Overcoming PTSD” is published by Between Sessions Resources, a leader in providing practical tools for clinicians to use with their clients.

New Tampa start-up Confident Me Health Care Centers aims to give women renewed confidence through an innovative incontinence treatment


“Although urinary incontinence is a fairly common medical issue affecting as many as 25 million adult Americans, it is widely perceived as a taboo topic and rarely discussed, even between patients and their doctors,” said Michele Boone, president of CMHCC.

Millions of men and women in the U.S. suffer from some form of urinary incontinence, with a majority of those diagnosed being women over the age of 50. A new Tampa Bay area start-up has emerged to help those affected with this condition.

Confident Me Health Care Centers (CMHCC) is a Brandon-based medical company that treats bladder leakage through a new medical technology that provides non-invasive pelvic floor therapy. This new technology provides 11,000 Kegels in a 28 minute session.

A key differentiator between conventional urinary incontinence treatment options and those offered by CMHCC includes the center’s focus on utilizing the latest medical technology to leverage better results. The company’s core treatment program utilizes a non-invasive and non-surgical treatment device which utilizes HIFEM (high-Intensity focused electromagnetic technology) to strengthen an individual’s pelvic floor muscles and restore neuromuscular control.

According to CMHCC, the company has seen an 85 percent success rate among patients.

“Although urinary incontinence is a fairly common medical issue affecting as many as 25 million adult Americans, it is widely perceived as a taboo topic and rarely discussed, even between patients and their doctors,” said Michele Boone, president of CMHCC. “Our mission is to inspire those dealing with this condition to seek treatment and regain their confidence. Treatment is quick, painless and easy, with real results seen in as few as 3-4 visits.”

Treatment programs offered by CMHCC are beneficial for both men and women and typically include six, 28-minute sessions, which are usually prescribed two times per week over the course of three weeks. During a treatment session, patients sit comfortably and fully clothed on the device, which has been described by some as a “sci-fi inspired lounge chair.” Once powered on, the device uses electromagnetic waves to create powerful muscular contractions equal to 11,000 Kegel exercises in one session. Confident Me Health Care Centers is thought to be the only medical practice in the United States to limit its practice to treating only urinary incontinence with this new technology.

The HIFEM therapy is administered under the guidance, and control of medical experts and all patients are seen by a physician before beginning therapy. The treatment is non-surgical, painless, and non-invasive. There is no limitation of activities or down time following treatment.

Hemanext Announces CE Mark Submission for the HEMANEXT ONE Red Blood Cell Processing System


Our CE Mark submission is a significant milestone for Hemanext. Hemanext President & CEO Martin Cannon.

Hemanext Inc., a privately held medical technology company dedicated to improving patient outcomes through fewer and better red blood cell (RBC) transfusions, today announced CE Mark submission for HEMANEXT ONE®, the company’s initial product offering that is designed to provide a higher-quality blood product for transfusion patients.

The HEMANEXT ONE processing system reduces the fuel for oxidative damage prior to and during storage, and converts a unit of conventional, leukoreduced RBC into a transfusion-ready unit of HEMANEXT ONE RBC.

“We have seen a growing body of scientific evidence that oxidative damage to RBCs could have a negative impact on clinical outcomes for many acute and chronic patient populations that require large volumes of transfusions,” said Paul M. Ness, MD, Senior Director, Division of Transfusion Medicine and Professor of Pathology, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine; Editor, Transfusion, the peer-reviewed journal of the American Association of Blood Banks (AABB) (2003-2018); Past President, AABB. “Improving the quality of RBCs could enhance patient care and simultaneously reduce the quantity of RBC units required to treat many diseases and conditions.”

Hemanext anticipates receiving CE Mark approval in the first half of 2020, with commercialization initiatives for the HEMANEXT ONE system in Europe commencing in the second half of the year. Hemanext also expects to submit a 510(k) premarket notification to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2020.

“Our CE Mark submission is a significant milestone for Hemanext. It is the culmination of years of research and collaborations with the transfusion medicine community in Europe,” said Hemanext President and CEO Martin Cannon. “We are grateful for the partnerships that have brought us another step closer to creating a world with fewer and better transfusions.”

ABOUT HEMANEXT
