Starting their 17th year of being one of Orion’s leaders in dentistry, Dr. Rocco Ciccone’s practice is continuing their commitment to patient care and contemporary technology.
The’family practice is constantly keeping up-to-date on the newest, most advanced technologies being developed in the field of dentistry. Some of the technology in their exam rooms expedites dental procedures that used to take weeks and is now only taking a few clicks of a mouse.?
The University of Detroit graduate is also keeping his eye on a new device for cleaning teeth that will provide a better cleaning and will allow healing medication to be infused into water traveling through the instrument.
Dr. Ciccone, who’s been practicing dentistry since 1986, and his staff thoroughly read and review updates within dental publications. Additionally, he and his staff of two hygienists, one assistant and two administrators? go through all the required continuing education classes to keep licensing and compliance current.?
It’s that education that allows Dr. Ciccone and his two hygienists to act as dental advocates when it comes looking for health issues the patients may not be aware of.?
‘We pay close attention to things beyond the teeth,? he said. ‘We look for bulging veins under the tongue which is often a sign of a high blood pressure. Bleeding gums can also be a sign of diabetes.? A simple healthy check up at their practice could lead to a life saving discovery,’something Dr. Ciccone is very proud of.? ‘We pride ourselves on our oral cancer screenings,? he said. ‘If you’re an adult and you come in for a check up, we give you a cancer screening every time because in the US, oral cancer takes one life every hour.??
Dr. Ciccone has no plans of uprooting his practice from this area. A friend recommended the Orion area to him after a listing was posted for a dental practice. ‘I saw Lake Orion, met the people and fell in love with this area.? He sold his practice in Lathrup Village and moved here in June of 1998, he moved? his family to Clarkston in 1999.?
? As dental technology continually progresses, his customer service remains at a consistently high level. His staff will greet every patient walking through their doors and that level of comfort is carried through to the exam rooms.?
