We're so proud of our excellent staff here at ClevelandSmiles. Their response to Hurricane Sandy was nothing short of extraordinary. We sent this e-mail out to our patients on Wednesday: Dental Care & “Sandy” It’s time for me to thank our staff and our patients for their dedication to providing and receiving dental treatment, respectively.

As you may know, we were recently awarded the top rating by Angie's List, which was extremely gratifying.

Next week we'll be doing our annual office evaluation/review on sterilization procedures, environmental quality, and HIPPA compliance, among other things.

It got me wondering: is it because I now have some gray along the sides of my scalp? Is it because there is less of the aforementioned hair? Or might it be because [...]
Wendy and I recently returned from the AACD (American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry) meeting in Washington, D.C. Not only were the courses outstanding, but we got to see our new grandson, Owen and his parents in Alexandria, Virginia. The continuing education classes at the AACD meeting focused on the latest techniques in both general and [...]
We've had a number of patients ask about our new Odyssey Navigator Diode Laser and how we are using it. It is being used for procedures like gum contouring, crown lengthening (to give us more tooth structure for retention of materials), and even removal of mouth sores and mucoceles.
