How does the doctor keep
up to date on all of the current techniques and materials?
Because we are committed to providing our patients with the best care
possible, we are constantly learning about and evaluating any new dental
techniques
or treatments. To keep current, Dr. Dyer and his team take many hours
of continuing education each year, including classes at the Las Vegas
Institute
for Advanced Dental Studies.

How do I know when it’s time to come in for a checkup?
We know your schedule is busy, so we’ll remind you when it’s
time to come in to see us. We usually schedule your next checkup
in advance, then remind you with a postcard or a phone call a few
days in advance of your appointment.

What different payment options do you provide?
We want you to be able to get the dental treatment that you want
and need, so we offer a variety of ways that you can pay for
it. You can pay with cash, or by check or credit card; we also work
with two finance companies that provide extended financing options
(including some no-interest loans).

I really do not like visiting the dentist, is there anything
you can do to help me relax?
If you get nervous when somebody even mentions the word “dentist” please
let us know! There are many options available that can help you get
needed treatment, including anti-anxiety medication, nitrous oxide,
oral sedation (sleep dentistry) and IV sedation. We’ll work
with you to find the method that’s most appropriate for you.

Crowns, veneers, on-lays, inlays and partials—where can
I learn more about these procedures?
Our web site has articles on all these topics; please visit our
Patient Education section. Of course, you’re always welcome to call our office
as well and talk to Dr. Dyer or any member of his team about these
or any
other
procedures.

Do I have to floss every day? Is it really that important?
Yes, it really is. Flossing loosens food particles in tight spaces
your toothbrush cannot reach and gets rid of plaque build-up
toothbrushes alone cannot remove. This reduces your risk for periodontal
disease,
which has been linked to systemic diseases such as diabetes,
stroke and heart disease.

What is smile analysis?
Smile Analysis is a comprehensive evaluation of your smile's health,
function and aesthetics. Dr. Dyer will evaluate your
teeth,
gums, occlusion as well as your facial bone structure and lip line
symmetry. The results will not only direct basic preventive treatment
but can give you a look at what cosmetic solutions you may be interested
in.

What is smile design?
Your face is not like anyone else’s—your smile shouldn’t
be either. That’s why we takes into account the unique features
of your face, including its symmetry and lip line. Working with you,
we’ll develop a unique “perfect” smile,
one that is proportional and flattering to your face. Smile design
will allow us to show you what that perfect smile can look like.
