Implant Systems from Oakton Dentistry by Design

February 20, 2012

If you need to replace one or more missing teeth with a crown, bridge, or denture, you may want to find out if you’re a candidate for dental implants first. Dental implants, when combined with those traditional options, can restore both a smile’s appearance and functionality, resulting in a strong, natural bite. What is it that makes dental implants work so well? The key is in the way they interact with the jaw. Implants are made from titanium, a biocompatible material that bonds with the jaw over time, creating a rock-solid foundation for restorations, whether it’s a crown, bridge, or denture. And because patients have different needs, Drs. Khalil and Giordano utilize implant...

Smile Reminder System Makes It Easier to Stay In Touch with Patients

February 20, 2012

In the past, dentists have used a simple phone call to remind patients about upcoming appointments. But none of us are as tied to our home phone as we used to be, thanks to the rise of smartphones like the iPhone, the Android, and BlackBerry. These days, we’re all just as likely to send a text message or email to someone as call them. That’s why Oakton Dentistry by Design uses Smile Reminder.

More Safety for Patients and Better Quality Images with Dexis Digital Imaging

October 21, 2011

In the past, taking x-rays with a traditional x-ray machine meant using multiple sensors to capture all the images a dentist might need to look closely at a patient’s smile. It also meant using harsh chemicals to expose those images, not to mention having the extra physical space to keep them for future reference or for referrals. Taking x-rays with Dexis Digital Imaging, on the other hand, is a completely different experience. With Dexis, there’s no need for harsh chemicals, extra storage space, and it’s safer for patients, too. How Do X-Rays with Dexis Work? With Dexis Digital Imaging, Dr. Khalil and Dr. Giordano of Oakton Dentistry by Design can easily take...
