Those looking for a dentist who takes a comprehensive approach to their dental needs will find it at First Impressions Dental Group.
Dr. Craig Hoffman and his knowledgable staff have served the Ortonville area for the past seven years. With each passing year, technology advances and so does the dental field. Hoffman and his staff keep up with the latest advancements in the dental field with seminars and continuing education classes. They strive to educate their patients not only on oral health but on total health.
First Impressions Dental is geared toward family care, with a focus on cosmetic dentistry. They have extensive training and ‘instant? ortho (veneers), teeth whitening, tooth-colored fillings and traditional and invisible braces.
Hoffman uses state-of-the-art treatments for root canals, which are more efficient and successful than in the past.
At First Impressions Dental, Hoffman uses an intraoral camera to help diagnose areas in the mouth that need restorative work. With this special camera, patients can see the tooth and have a better understanding of what the doctor is talking about. Hoffman educates the patient on the best treatments and lets them make an informed decision as to what treatment they would like to have done.
One of the most recent advances in dentistry is the correlation between bad bite and tension/migraine headaches. A total of 80 percent of all headaches are tension headaches that can be successfully managed in the dental office.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has recently approved an appliance for the prevention of medically diagnosed migraine pain. This appliance is the first clinically-proven, non-drug method for preventing migraines, and 82 percent of migraine sufferers who used the appliance had a 77 percent reduction in migraine headaches.
First Impressions believes in total patient care. Dentists are not ‘tooth carpenters? any more. With the many recent correlations between systemic body diseases and diseases of the mouth, the dentist should be headed toward being a ‘physician of the mouth.? The staff at First Impressions Dental believes they are on that road, and they want people to come see how dentistry should be.
