We will be thankful for air conditioning, mosquito repellent and something cool to drink! For this issue, North Texas Dentistry is excited to present Archpoint Implant Dentistry, a state-of-the-art, doctor-owned implant center that recently opened in Dallas. The facility, created by ESA Construction, is fabulous and the talented team of doctors is exceptional. Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons Dr. J. Hadley Hall and Dr. Tom Draper have partnered with Prosthodontists Dr. Michael Oppedisano and Dr. Michele Newby to offer the experience patients need and expect in one location. Smiles in the Spotlight features an AO4 case by the team of doctors at Archpoint. Making this issue even better, North Texas Dentistry presents a “Custom Profile” highlighting Clean Dental of Dallas, a practice specializing in treating children who require general anesthesia for dental care. The team of doctors is owner and general dentist Dr. Mike Park, pediatric dentist Dr. Adam Preece and dental anesthesiologist Dr. Maya Chillar who partner with referring dentists to provide this much needed care. Also inside are some great editorials. Practice Management stresses the importance of assembling a competent advisory team in order to build a great dental practice and Legal Matters offers tips for structuring proper finance plans for patients.
