Exciting Announcement from Dr. Penz

Over the last year, we realized the need to expand our team in order to better serve our patients. Opportunities to add excellent providers don’t come around very often, so when we welcomed Dr. Christina Pauley to our office, I was beyond excited to do so. They say lightning doesn’t strike twice, but we are proof that it does!. Recently, we had the rare opportunity to add another provider to our office. I am proud to announce that Dr. David Wold is starting at Penz Dental Care this week.

New Digital Technology & Techniques Provide Superior Restorations

New Digital Technology & Techniques Provide Superior Restorations

Penz Dental Care is now utilizing CAD/CAM digital impression technology!

What does this mean for patients?

In most cases, it means no more goopy impression trays! Digital impressions are faster, more comfortable, and more accurate than traditional impressions.

How does it work?

We use an intra-oral scanner to create a digital model of your teeth. That model can be used to make single-unit crowns, on-lays, bridges, implants, nightguards, whitening trays, and retainers.

Why is it better?

It’s more conservative: Our goal is to replace only the tooth structure that’s damaged. In some cases, we are able to do an “on-lay” instead of a crown. An on-lay only removes the damaged tooth structure and replaces that portion of the tooth. In contrast, a traditional crown removes both damaged and healthy tooth structure in order to place a traditional crown or cap on top of the tooth.

Quicker turnaround: This new software enables us to design restorations right in our office. We create your crown or on-lay using our milling machine. This allows us to deliver the final product without the need for a temporary crown.

Superior materials: We use materials that have similar properties to natural tooth enamel, and we rely on gold standard adhesives to bond those materials to the tooth. This combination will last 3-4 times longer than traditional restorations.

To sum it up:

This new technology—in combination with cutting edge dental techniques—results in higher quality and longer lasting restorations. We are excited to offer this care to our patients!

Children’s Dental Health Tips

Let’s talk about teeth!

Dr. Matt Penz and dental hygienists Cathy and Anna give tips on caring for your teeth. Learn about number of teeth, foods that are good and bad for your teeth, brushing and flossing, cavities, and what to expect when you visit the dentist.

Preparing Your Child for the Dentist

It is normal for children to feel uneasy about visiting the dentist. That’s why we have partnered with Mimi the Hippo. Mimi helps kids practice for their dental visit before they even step in the door!

How it works:

  • Go to www.mimithehippo.com/install to download our free walk-through app.

  • Use code 200701 for access.

  • Once it’s downloaded, “walk” through the office with your child. Mimi will show you what to do!
