End of the Year Newsletter





Happy Holidays to you and I hope all is well!  Since our last newsletter, there have been some new additions to our office. First, Dr. Min Kwak has joined part-time as an associate in the Westfield office. Second, Dr. Michael Saba has also joined full-time as an associate in both Union and Westfield offices.  Both Dr. Kwak and Saba are Invisalign certified.
 
The Westfield project is finally underway, and I expect to be in the new location at 147-149 Elmer Street in the summer of 2015. Yes, it took 3 years of planning to cut through all the red tape, and now we have a green light to begin, and construction should begin shortly.
 
On the equipment front, the new upgrade on the E4D system works like a charm. The new NevoScan has reduced the time it takes to make a new crown down to 2 hours from start to finish! Our digital x-ray systems also got a boost with the new Schick 33 system. This is comparable to going from standard definition TV to high definition TV. And yes, it does make a difference in detecting dental disease.
 
Conversion to the Dentrix software is now nearly complete. It has taken nearly 3 years to fix most of the bugs caused by the conversion, and we are very pleased that the system is now working as intended despite having  a few glitches remaining.
 
BioHorizon implant system has been added to complement the Dentium Implant system being used in both offices. Both systems work well and are highly biocompatible. They have been a good addition to the dental services we currently offer.
 
We thank you all for allowing us to be your dental health professionals.

5 Ways to Maximize Your Dental Benefits Plan

Image
With terms like PPO, HMO, in-network, and out-of-network to describe dental benefits, it's no surprise that many don't understand how to make the most of their plan. This means you may be overlooking benefits that are critical to maintaining your oral health. Don't settle for just what you understand as part of your coverage. Read on for 5 simple tips to take advantage of everything your plan has to offer. Tip #1: Take Time to Understand Your Plan The best way to take advantage of your plan is to ensure you know the type of plan it is and its deductibles, copayments and annual maximums. There are two main types of dental plans: HMO Plans - with an HMO, you'll be required to choose a dentist in your primary network to handle most of your needs. You are charged a relatively low copayment for office visits, procedures etc. There is no coverage if you visit an out-of-network provider. HMO's typically have no deductible or maximum.

WE CAN’T BE CLOSED MOUTH ABOUT THIS ANY LONGER . . .

The New Westfield Office under construction. New treatments, new technology -- there is always something new to ‘brush up’ on if a dentist is going to give his patients the excellence that they deserve. The Laser Dental Group dental professionals are always on top of the latest technology by attendance at many conferences and seminars in order to better serve their patients.   Apparently that knowledge has paid off with more and more people choosing The Laser Dental Group for their dental care needs. When we opened our first practice in Union, NJ at 1205 Coolidge Avenue in 1987 and then another office at 581 Westfield Avenue, Westfield in 2011 we were seeing an average number of patients per year.  I am grateful to our loyal patients for their ‘word of mouth’ marketing efforts! By reason of our many new patients and our wanting our old and new ‘family’ to feel comfortable, we are almost near completion of a brand new facility located at 301 Lenox Avenue in Westfield, NJ.
