Implants are It

Implants, are the new (and very much improved!) bridges.

In a wonderful new article by Jane Brody, health reporter for the New York Times, implants are hailed as the most effective, and cost effective, treatment for missing teeth. (article at: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/17/health/17brod.html?em )

Dr. Jergins agrees, "Dental implants might carry a higher price tag up front, but they last much longer, and perform much better, than a bridge or denture. The investment is well worth it."

Take a look at the article, and then, if you still have questions, contact Dr. Jergins, The Gentle Dentist. His Spring Hill team is ready to give you a comfortable, long-lasting solution to your missing teeth needs.

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is Dr. Jergins' favorite holiday.  It doesn't have the hype of Christmas, or the spookiness of Halloween.  It does have wonderful food, fellowship, and a story of courage and perseverance that still inspire.

So as the Thanksgiving holiday nears, please know that we at The Gentle Dentist are thankful for our wonderful patients.  Not a week goes by that Dr. Jergins doesn't comment on the kind and interesting people who come through our doors in Spring Hill.

In fact, Dr. Jergins has so many interesting patients, that we hope to share some of their stories here, in this blog, very soon.  Until then, have a joyful Thanksgiving.
