David D. McFadden, D.M.D. Know the Hands of Your Specialist! T he hands of your dentist determine the comfort and ultimate success of your treatment. What do you know about the hands that are delivering your dental care? You want your dentist to be experienced but it’s not just the number of years of experience, but the type of treatment during those years that matters. A general dentist may have an interest in a certain area of dentistry, like full mouth reconstruction or dental implants, but doesn’t do those procedures all day, every day like a specialist, nor, were they formally trained to perform those procedures. We Invite You to Experience Specialty Dental Care. In medicine, there are specialists for almost every part of the body and procedure. It is the “norm” for a patient to be referred to a specialist for advanced procedures. The same should be true in dentistry. There is only one dental specialty for patients with advanced dental needs, Prosthodontics. Why Choose Dr. McFadden? Dr. McFadden is a dual board certified specialist in the field of prosthodontics ( tooth replacement). He received his Prosthodontic Specialty Certificate from Baylor College of Dentistry in 1990 and his Diplomate in the American Board of Oral Implantology. He shares these credentials with only ten other dentists in the USA. Dr. McFadden has been in practice for 24 years. Unlike many general dentists, Dr. McFadden does not delegate procedures to assistants. All the clinical work is done with his own hands. His outstanding skills, along with meticulous preparation and precision, result in quality patient outcomes. Dr. McFadden is also trained and certified to administer intravenous sedation. With Dr. McFadden being trained and certified to administer IV sedation in his office, this reduces anesthesia costs and provides for added safety and comfort. Dr. McFadden’s expertise and extensive experience in complex dental procedures combine to give you a beautiful smile and a pleasant experience. “As a Prosthodontist, I provide both the surgical and restorative aspects of treatment,” said Dr. McFadden. “I am able to provide a high level of service to my patients based on careful planning and consideration of individual needs and desires.” 44 North Dallas Living Well Magazine • Spring 2014
