SPONSORED CONTENT BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT SPONSORED CONTENT McMurray Family Dental DENTISTRY THAT EXCELS IN EVERY WAY F rom the very beginning, McMurray Family Dental has always treated each patient as part of an extended family, something Dr. William Spatz, DMD, is extremely proud of. And, just like you would want the best for your family, McMurray Family Dental wants what’s best for their patients first and foremost, which is why they treat patients of all ages and with all sorts of dental problems. “We’re a full-service, family dental office,” Dr. Spatz said. “We see lots of people from kids to seniors every day for issues ranging from regular check-ups and cleanings to fillings, crowns, dentures, implants and everything in between.” Dental Implants is one area of expertise where McMurray Family Dental stands out. Whether someone is missing one tooth or all their teeth implants have become popular with the patients of McMurray Family Dental for several reasons. “First, we do them here in our office from start to finish. A lot of offices refer patients to other doctors, but our patients are more comfortable having us do the work and being with someone they already trust,” Dr. Spatz said. “The procedure is fairly simple and well tolerated. The most popular reason, however, that our patients choose dental implants is because they are permanent.” If someone must lose a tooth there are several options to replace it. A partial denture is removable and often uncomfortable to wear. A fixed bridge requires cutting down two or more adjacent teeth to hold a permanent replacment. Only a dental implant can replace a tooth permanently, naturally, independently and often in one day. Patients who wear dentures know how they can be uncomfortable, unstable and difficult to eat with. Dental implants allow for dentures to attach solidly to fixed anchors in the mouth so they can not move or rub and so they gain the strength of natural teeth. “Maybe the biggest benefit I see to patients,” Dr. Spatz said, “is the confidence they have knowing that their teeth look and feel as natural as the teeth they were born with.” Knowing that patients are healthy and feeling good about their dental experience is the biggest reward to the staff of McMurray Family Dental. “I couldn’t be prouder of our staff,” Dr. Spatz said. “They are wonderful, caring individuals and they share that with all our patients. So many people are naturally uncomfortable going to the dentist, but everyone here makes them feel so much better and at home. And we’re all tied to the community - we’re all South Hills people and we support all the local schools, teams, musicals and bands. We’re not just a place in the community, we’re a part of the community.” For more information on McMurray Family Dental, go to their website at mcmurrayfamilydental.com, or call them today at 724.941.6884.
