B ea u ty • P reci s i o n • E x cellence FA I RWAY D E N T A L C E N T R E NOW OPEN 7 DAYS PER WEEK! Greetings from Dr. Fresh! As many of you may have heard by now, as of May 30th (2013), I have had the great honor of becoming the leader of the Team at Fairway Dental … a Team that I have found to be incredibly dedicated to the Oral Health needs of our patients. I also want to thank Dr. Mozeg for his kind words introducing me in this Newsletter announcement of the sale of his Dental Practice. Since the sale I have spent quite a bit of time with the Team trying to understand how this office has functioned in the past including the many great successes and also any particular challenges they have had and still do have. I want to assure all our loyal patients that not only will I continue the excellent work they have done in the past but will work closely with them on any challenges they have so they can be overcome. And if you are a former patient I personally invite you to come back and give us a second look. I promise you, you will be pleasantly surprised! My priority is to make sure we take care of the Oral Health needs of all our patients with the utmost excellence, respect, professionalism and to the complete satisfaction of YOU – our loyal patient. The changes that we will be bringing will be with the above goal in mind – to serve YOU better above and beyond your expectations. I would also like to welcome Dr. Inna Vol (see back page) to our practice. Not only was I impressed with her clinical skills – she is also very good with children. I am looking forward to having her on our team. We want you to be able to proudly refer us to all your friends and family and I promise you personally we will stop at nothing to earn your admiration, respect and satisfaction! Over the last 10 years I have had the pleasure of leading 8 previous offices Announcement Of Sale! Summer 2013 through such transitions and have never failed to deliver on the above promise. If you have any questions or concerns or just want to say hi, my email is DrFresh@SolarDental.ca I look forward to meeting you all in the coming months! Sincerely, Dr. Fresh It is with great pleasure that I am announcing the sale of Fairway Dental to Dr. Kourosh Afrashteh (“Dr. Fresh”) as of May 30th (2013). I will continue to be working in the practice as your Dentist for the near future. Dr. Fresh received his B.Sc. in Molecular Genetics from the University of Toronto, his Ph.D in Neuroscience from the University of Toronto and his Doctor of Dental Surgery from the University of Toronto in 2001. While he practiced as an Associate Dentist in clinics in Stoney Creek and Barrie (Ontario) for the first 2 years of his career, he has since been buying and managing large Dental Clinics. He is highly experienced in Dental Team Leadership and has a great vision for the practice. Also, on a personal note, he is a wonderful, caring and compassionate individual. I am very much excited for the Team and our patients to see this smooth transition happen and look forward to the coming changes. I thank you all for your continuing loyalty and support over the years. Our Team is looking forward to working with Dr. Fresh in providing you the highest level of dental care we can and in continuing to earn your trust and respect. I am sure you will join us in welcoming Dr. Fresh to Fairway Dental as well as to our community! Sincerely, Dr. S. Mozeg Working to serve you better! Get The All-Generation Restoration C ro w n s & bri dges go the distance Whether young, old, or somewhere in between, things do happen that can damage your smile. Probably the most devastating to appearance, self-esteem, and lifestyle, is the loss of teeth. Whether caused by sports injuries, wear and tear, or gum disease, missing teeth do need to be replaced to prevent a myriad of other issues down the road. The good news is that modern crowns and bridges look, feel, and function just like natural teeth. They’re durable and easy to care for, plus they’re definitely more attractive than gaps in your smile! Benefits of Crowns Shaped and colored like natural teeth, crowns cover decayed or damaged teeth or replace lost teeth. When secured by an implant, jawbone loss (which occurs when teeth are lost) is arrested. Benefits of Bridges Usually attached to your existing teeth, bridges support the replacement of one or more missing teeth with beautiful and durable artificial teeth. They alleviate stress in your bite and prevent shifting of teeth adjacent to the gap. before after No matter what your age, crowns and bridges can improve your quality of life. They restore your natural bite, preserve the shape of your face, make you look and feel attractive, and allow you to enjoy all the foods and activities you love! Call us today, and let’s discuss what’s best for you! The world always looks brighter from behind a smile. Hide ‘N’ Seek With Sugar A game you can win! It’s no mystery that sugar resides in treats like candies, pastries, and soft drinks, but did you know that it’s also hiding in foods like breads, dressings, and lunch meats? Most processed foods contain hidden sugar. Check the labels on chip bags, cracker boxes, and even low-fat packaged foods, and if an ingredient ends in “ose” (e.g. dextrose) or if the word “syrup” appears (e.g. corn syrup), it’s sugar. Without proper oral care, sugar can lead to cavities and gum disease, and a high intake can cause obesity and an increased risk for heart disease and type-2 diabetes. In fact, the American Heart Association recommends a maximum of just 6-9 teaspoons of sugar a day – about the amount in one can of soda! We can’t avoid sugar altogether, but armed with knowledge and willpower, we can reduce our intake for the sake of our mouth and our health! Exercise & Smile Rejuvenation Works! Look and feel younger It’s true that exercise makes us feel younger and more vibrant, and as an added bonus, it also makes us look younger. Research shows that regular activity affects us on a cellular level, slowing, and even reversing, the external and internal effects of time. Even the simplest exercises, like taking a walk or a casual bike ride, are effective. Are you sure your smile reflects your youthful spirit? Let us help with simple rejuvenating procedures that can even be done in just a visit or two! n Whitening: Dentist-controlled systems are customized for your unique needs and will make natural teeth look their brightest. n Replacement Fillings: Unsightly silver-colored fillings can be replaced with attractive white composite ones for a healthy, attractive, and uniform smile. n Bonding: Cover teeth with a beautiful white resin to reshape, repair damage, and fill in unattractive gaps. With exercise and a healthy lifestyle, we can delay the effects of ageing. With modern dentistry, we can always make your smile look as young as you feel! Poor Oral Maintenance 3 risks men take We schedule tuneups for our precious car. But why do some people skip dental checkups that maintain their precious smile? Men are almost 50% less likely than women to maintain regular checkups, increasing risk for… 1. Periodontal Disease – Men are 26% less likely to floss and are more likely to miss cleaning appointments even though poor oral care is linked to life-threatening diseases. 2. Oral Cancer – Tobacco users risk oral cancer. Men are twice as likely to be affected than women, yet they often skip checkups that include essential oral cancer screening. 3. Dental Injuries – More often socialized to take physical risks, males are more likely to suffer face trauma. Wearing a mouthguard is essential during body-contact sports. It’s important that everyone – male or female – practices good oral care and has regular checkups to protect their precious smile! ML13-4 n Veneers: Porcelain veneers can cover the front of stained, damaged, and uneven teeth, perfecting their color, shape, appearance, and alignment. Excited! Over the past 17 years I have had the great honor of having established relationships with so many of you and have seen many of you have children of your own coming to our practice now. The well-being of our patients is without a doubt my number one priority as the Office Manager of Fairway Dental. It is with that in mind that on behalf of the whole Fairway Dental Team I want to welcome Dr. Fresh as our new leader! In the brief time since the sale that I have spent with him and I believe I speak for the whole team – the enthusiasm and care he expresses for the welfare and satisfaction of our patients is truly contagious and is a relief to our whole Team that he believes in the same values and principles we always have. There will no doubt be some changes you will notice in the coming months but I can assure you it will all be for the better and to serve you – our loyal patients – in a manner that will exceed your expectations. Once again – thank you! Thank you for being such a pleasure to work with and in trusting us with your and your families’ Oral Health Care needs. Looking forward to the future!
