A Patient Experience with Dental Implants

May 4th, 2011

Dental implants are one of the procedures we are proud to offer at our Burlington and Mount Vernon dental practice. An excellent solution to missing or damaged teeth, dental implants can help restore stability and health to your smile. Take a look at the words one patient shared with us about his experience with dental implants:

Missing a tooth is no fun, besides it looks very ugly. I went without a molar for four years because of the fear of the unknown. What would it cost? Would it hurt? How long would it take? When Dr. Blake Perry told me that I could have a new tooth implanted at his office from start to finish, I jumped on it. He had just given me a new cap on another tooth, so I knew how skilled he was. It did not hurt at all (that is the truth). The price was reasonable. It was done with only one hour in the chair on my first visit and only a half hour on the second. Now after only one week of having my new tooth it feels like it has always been there. I am so happy and grateful that Dr. Perry helped me. I wish that I had done it long before this. We are lucky to have such a skilled dentist in Mount Vernon.

April is Oral Cancer Awareness Month

April 15th, 2011

Visiting Perry Family Dentistry regularly will not only help keep your teeth and mouth healthy, but will also help keep the rest of your body healthy. The fact is, every hour of every day in the U.S., someone dies of oral cancer, which is the sixth-most common diagnosed form of the disease. The five-year survival rate is only 50 percent, and oral cancer is one of the few cancers whose survival rate has not improved. Since April is Oral Cancer Awareness Month, Dr. Perry would like to take this opportunity to remind all of our patients about the importance of maintaining good oral hygiene.

As a dentist, Dr. Perry is specifically trained to diagnose, treat, and prevent oral health problems. Please let us now if you have any questions about your oral health during your next appointment. Take care of your teeth!
