Dr. Poling shares his knowledge as a dentist in the South Hills
Abeautiful smile is always your best accessory. But a great set of pearly whites requires regular maintenance. And if you have a fear of dental work( which is not uncommon), you may be neglecting one of your most important assets. Teeth are essential to good nutrition and subsequently your overall health. Your fear of dental work could be robbing you of the healthy teeth you deserve.
But what if you could sleep through a necessary procedure, and awake to healthier, more lovely teeth? Dr. Scott Poling is an expert at making this happen.
“ Not every dentist offers IV sedation for dental procedures,” explains Dr. Poling.“ But what sets us apart is our extensive training and experience in this area. I’ m certified to provide anesthesia and have performed IV-conscious sedation for thousands of patients. My entire staff has been thoroughly trained in this type of dentistry as well, and I bring in a nurse anesthetist for the procedure.” For people who suffer with anxiety about a dental visit, this is a real blessing.
Dr. Poling is able to perform tooth extractions, root canals, oral surgery and many other complex dental procedures, and the sedation process makes it a bit easier for patients. He treats a range of people, from infants to those in their 90s. However, he prefers to offer the IV sedation only to those 17 and over. For younger patients, Dr. Poling has found that nitrous oxide works well when treatment is required.
Another innovative procedure that Poling Family Dental Care offers is All-on-X dental implants. For those who need to replace an entire set of teeth, these implants offer a permanent and aesthetic solution. This remarkable procedure can also be completed in one day, with the patient walking out with an aesthetic temporary prosthesis! After the implants integrate, the final lab work is completed in-house, allowing Dr. Poling to drastically outcompete other companies providing this treatment.
Poling Family Dental Care can provide a consultation to see if a patient is a good candidate for this type of restorative option.
Besides major dental procedures, many people are concerned with the appearance of their teeth. Fortunately, there are several options for today’ s patients who want to have whiter teeth, offering both in-office and home treatments. For a more permanent solution, patients may want to consider veneers and crowns, which can totally transform a smile. There are also great options for straightening teeth with clear orthodontic appliances, correcting bite issues and, perhaps most important, improving confidence.
Dr. Poling credits his staff for the high-quality care the practice is able to provide.“ We have excellent office staff who are friendly and
caring, as well as our clinical staff who are remarkable! We have many 5-star reviews about them … I’ m very proud of the team we have.”
Besides being a dentist, Dr. Poling is also a father with a son who plays hockey. He truly understands that accidents will happen, and that it’ s important to have a dentist you can trust who’ s available when those emergencies happen. Dr. Poling is available for his patients 24 / 7.
