Love These Cool Shades…Why Do I Need Them? Eye Protection at Lund Dental.

Love These Cool Shades…Why Do I Need Them?

            We at Lund Dental now ask our patients to wear protective eye wear during all procedures.  The common question asked is “these are nice but why must I wear them”?  There are several reasons but mostly for the patient’s comfort and safety.

            All clinicians at Lund Dental wear safety glasses and now all patients as well. During any procedure, there are many facets that could cause injury to the patient in the chair.  The handpiece itself sprays air and water, putting articles into the air that may go into the patient’s eyes.  Also, many different materials are used, some passed over the patient, that could be harmful.  By wearing the safety glasses, we are eliminating any possibility of something entering our patient’s eyes.

On another note, the glasses are comforting to the patient.  The doctors have bright lights on their glasses and the overhead lamp can shine into the patients eyes. The dark glasses alleviate this.  Also, many find that they are relaxing to wear.

            Our patients’ comfort and safety is first and foremost in our practice. At Lund Dental, we make our patients’experiences first and foremost.

Let’s Get Something Straight

                

            In the past when a patient needed orthodontics to straighten teeth or correct malocclusion the only solution was to have braces.  Now, Invisalign is a great alternative to traditional braces. After a complimentary consultation, we take impressions with our digital scanner. These are then sent to Invisalign where the aligners are made.   A series of clear plastic aligners are worn by the patient for two weeks at a time until the desired result is achieved.  Usually other people cannot tell that someone is wearing them!  Also, they are removable which makes it easier for the patient to eat and brush their teeth.                     

Straightening teeth is about more than a beautiful smile. Crooked teeth can be the cause of several problems including periodontal (gum) disease if left untreated.  In addition, malocclusion (incorrect bite) can lead to premature wear of teeth, sometimes resulting in tooth loss.

           

         At Lund Dental, we have been providing patients with Invisalign for over ten years with much success.  We have treated patients from teenagers up to adults resulting in many new beautiful smiles.  Our patients who have had Invisalign have been extremely satisfied with their treatment. In fact,  Dr.Cara, Dr Lund and several staff members have been Invisalign patients.  If this is something you may be interested in, one of the doctors would be happy to discuss the possibilities with you.
