Today, your dentist has the
ability to not only change
your smile but they can
change the way you look at
yourself which can transform
the entire way you feel about
yourself.
Some patients have come to
our office and would not part
their lips let alone smile. They
noted that they have never
smiled in their whole life.
They were embarrassed how
they looked to themselves
and to others.
In one to two visits we have
had people who have never
smiled a day in their lives,
break out of their shells and
even go out on dates.
This was accomplished by
changing the way they looked
by giving them the smile that
they deserved. They feel like
a movie star once they finish
with their dental makeover.
What kind of changes are we
talking about?
Sometimes it can be as
simple as whitening your
teeth either in the office with
Power or Laser Whitening
and even take home
whitening products.
Some patients will choose to
have braces placed on their
teeth to straighten a crooked
smile.
Others will have a
combination of crowns,
veneers and implants which
can give you an almost
instant extreme dental
makeover.
We at Braun Dental are
currently working to have you
come from anywhere in the
world to come and stay at our
office for one to two weeks in
our luxury 3 bedroom guest
house next to our office. This
will be available by Spring
2008. During your stay you
can have your very own
extreme dental makeover and
you can do it in style!

site, where we will be having
updates of our facility
changes.

Invisalign has clearly revolutionised
braces. Other than instant implants, I
personally believe that Invisalign has
completely changed the face of
dentistry. As an Invisalign patient
myself, I can tell you how much easier
they are to have than traditional
braces. They are more comfortable.
You will not break a wire and cut
yourself. They are just plain easier to
wear. The bonus is that you also get
to look at what your teeth will look like
before you even begin. For more

At what age should my child go to the dentist?
I always suggest that you bring your child to your own
dental appointments. They will get used to all the
sights, smells and sounds. The only time I tell people
to not do this if you are a total nervous wreck
yourself. These feelings will transfer to your child and
it is best that they do not experience your fears. As
your child is at your hygiene visits, you can have the
hygienist take a peek in your child's mouth. This will
get them used to the process. Once your child has
their teeth, it will be time for the visit to be just for
them.
At this first visit, we may or may not take x-rays. It will
depend on if we see active decay and your child's
willingness to get things done. At this age, my
philosophy is that we do not push them to do
anything they do not want to do. If we see they have
definite tooth problems and they are not willing, then
we will refer you to the pediatric dentist. They may
treat them with medications that can have a calming
effect so they can get the necessary treatment
completed.
My child has a cavity and will need to be numb
to get it done. What do I say in advance and
what will happen at the visit?
The first thing I tell parents is to really say nothing
except we are going to the dentist. If your child asks
why, then answer that the dentist wants to look at
your teeth. If they have already had this visit and they
need a cavity filled, then let them know the dentist is
going to fix your tooth. If they ask how, you can tell
them you don't really know but the dentist will explain
everything and answer all of their questions.
Do NOT tell them that it isn't going to hurt out of the
blue. If someone told you that we are going to the
grocery store but don't worry it isn't going to hurt,
how would that make you think? You might think the
grocery clerk will hide in the produce isle and chuck a
lemon at your head.
Kid's really do think that way. The less you say the
better. If you don't have an answer then tell them you
don't know but the dentist will let them know.
I will now describe that first numbing visit. It is the
opposite what I do for adults.
The first thing we do is put a bit topical gel in their
mouth at the spot we will be numbing. We tell the kids
that we are putting a bit of sleepy gel on their gums
and that it will make it feel funny in their mouth.
The next thing I do is tell them that we are going to fix
their tooth but we need to give the tooth a little bit of
sleepy juice to make their tooth get sleepy. I then
hand them the small glass vial which they then place
in then place in the holder. I then show them how I will
hold it in their mouth. I then put it down in front of
them. Kids do not want to have hidden surprises
coming from behind.
I never show them the needle part itself as it is
behind the cap but they do see the entire set up so
they have no fear. They have also been helping me
put it together so they do not have any fear about
that tool.
When I am ready to give them the local, I take the
cap off and start to place it in their mouth. I do let
them know it is going to pinch a little. As I am injecting
(very slowly so it minimizes the pain), I tell them the
three rules and they really have to listen as they will
have to tell their parent what the rules are because
their parent might forget. I let them know that their
cheeks, lips and tongue might feel funny so they
need to not bite on their lips, not chew on their
cheeks and sometimes their face will get itchy so they
should not scratch their face.
By the time I tell them the rules, the numbing is done
and they are concentrating on the rules and they
have not had a chance to think about anything else.
We then get the procedure done and off they go
home or back to school. We didn't talk about pain,
hurting, needles or shots. It was just a nice quiet visit
to the dentist!

Times are hard and people are worried. The price of
gas, the price of heating oil, you’re making choices
about what to cut. Your family’s dental care should
not be one of them. Dental care is critical, and
putting it off can affect you or your children for a long
time. Due to the incredible response to Braun Dental’
s offer to waive exam and x-ray fees for new patients
and the fees for x-rays and exams for emergency
visits. We are extending this offer until the local
economy gets better.
We have also introduced the Zimmer Dental line of
implants. This introduction will allow us to reduce the
costs of implants in many cases in both single tooth
implants and denture stabilization. Read more on our
implant site from this link. Implants will be more
affordable with our addition of traditional Zimmer
implants.
If you have been putting off taking your kids to the
dentist, do not wait any longer. And, if you have a
dental emergency – you chip a tooth or break a filling
– call us at Braun Dental. We will waive the exam
fees and x-ray fees for you too – that is up to a $280
bill that they’ll waive. We also offer convenient
financing. When things get tough, receiving dental
care should not. Braun Dental.

Why should you choose one implant system over the other?
Your bone quality, space to place the implant and costs will
play factors in which implant system you will choose.
The main difference between the two systems are that the
MDI mini implant is an immediate loading implant while
many of the Zimmer Dental implants are 2 stage implants.
What is a 2 stage implant? A 2 stage implant is the implant is
placed at the first visit with some type of healing cap. The
implant is not loaded with a final restoration for
approximately 3 to 6 months depending on your healing.
What are the benefits of using the two stage Zimmer dental
implant? The major benefit is you can have fewer implants
placed which can be a significant cost savings, making your
implants more affordable, based on your specific needs.
You can find out the exact details how dental implants can
work for you. Please call us toll free for your free exam and
xrays to see if you can benefit from dental implants.
