August has come and gone, the children have headed back to school and the Labor Weekend is this weekend. What happened the summer?? As a reminder, our office will be closed from 2-6 September 2010 so that Dr. and Mrs. Wineman can travel to Napa, CA for the wedding of their middle child and eldest daughter. Please remain calm--Cheri will have pictures for all to see when we return. We will reopen on Tuesday 7 September @ 0730. We have many patients that work for the State of Nevada--correction officers, UNLV professors, and state employees. With the impending $2+ BILLION deficient looming over our state government, many newspaper articles have reported that there is a significant possibility that dental insurance benefits will be cut back to simply preventive care--an exam, x-rays and 2 cleanings a year with no additional coverage for anything else. We have recently sent out a e-mail campaign to alert our patients about this possible change and how it will affect them. Call us--ask for Caitlin--if you have any questions. Now may be the best time to get that work completed before your insurance "disappears. "
Ciera Stancil, one of Dr. Wineman's dental assistants, has been accepted into the Dental Hygiene Program at Mohave Community College in Arizona. Her last day will be 6 August 2010. We will miss her around our office but are thrilled she is headed back to school and has decided to stay within the dental profession. Ciera will be a great dental hygienist in 2 years. We are still trying to convince her to return to our practice when her education/training is complete. Time will tell. We wish her all the best!! We have selected a great replacement in Regalado "Reg" Malonzo. His first day within our practice is Wednesday 4 AUG 2010. When was the last time you visited your dentist? Do you need a dental exam and cleaning? Do you have a tooth that needs a filling? Troubled by a toothache and don't know where to go? Want a smile makeover? If you know someone who is looking for a dental team who are well trained, caring and compassionate, personable and honest, will tell you your treatment options then you have found the right office. Come in and see for yourself. Then you can tell your friends and co-workers about our office--where you get your dental care. We are a dental practice that is a preferred provider for many of the dental insurance plans offered by employers in the valley. We are currently accepting new patients. We want to be your dental provider. Read more about our team on the subsequent webpages.
We are more than 2/3 of the way through the insurance year. Are you "sitting" on some insurance money that you could use to improve your smile, replace that broken filling, or get that bridge done? Call Caitlin, Jenna or Cheri today to schedule an appointment to begin the work you postponed last year. Our patients really enjoy receiving either the text message and/or email to remind them of their upcoming appointment. However, if you would prefer to be reminded in only one particular manner regarding your appointment (either phone call, text or email) kindly let us know so we can alter your profile to get you a reminder in the manner you choose. We continue to use the Concierge Service courtesy of the AGD Patient Alerts System. Our patients love it that not only do they receive a personal telephone call reminding them of their upcoming appointment, but they also get an reminder e-mail and/or text message too. By simply clicking on the reply button our patients can confirm their appointment with us. How cool is that? This service also sends out monthly newsletters and special announcements to our patients who have an email address on file with our office. As a Diplomate of the Academy of General Dentistry (AGD), it has been my trusted source for continuing dental education for more than 20 years
The @DENTAL team realizes that many Las Vegans continue to struggle during these tough economic times. When money is tight, families' priorities often change and some luxury items simply are no longer possible. Please do not equate your dental health with a luxury purchase. Ignoring those little aches and pains and hoping they go away maybe a coping strategy. However it may just be your body's way of telling you something is not quite right. Waiting until you have a severe toothache or swelling to visit our dental office usually leads to even larger out-of-pocket expenses. While our financial policy remains unchanged, we are granting patients that want to have the comprehensive dentistry completed more time to pay their share. For those patients who may need or want it, we do offer third party financing through CareCredit.
Our office is located within the Legacy Business Park, Henderson, Nevada just three blocks north of the Green Valley Parkway exit off I-215. We would like to welcome you to our office. We take great satisfaction in helping our patients obtain and maintain optimal oral health. Our practice is devoted to comprehensive dental treatment and preventive patient care. Throughout our website, you will find an abundance of information about our practice, procedures we provide, and dentistry in general. Please explore and learn as much about dentistry and our services as you desire. We believe our patients should have as much information as possible in order to make important, informed decisions regarding their oral health and treatment options. Our patients are our most important asset, and we strive to develop long-lasting, trusting relationships with all of our patients. We strive to deliver comprehensive care with a gentle touch. We are fortunate to have a great patient base but always have room for new patients to join our dental family. The greatest compliment you can give us is to refer a friend, family member, co-worker or neighbor to our practice. We now reward our patients that refer a new patient or family a credit of $25 on their account. Refer a handful of co-workers and the money can offset any co-payment you may have for dental treatment. The best compliment any of our patients can give us is to refer a friend. We look forward to seeing you soon!
