Minimally Invasid Dentistry (MID)

Minimally Invasive dentistry (MID) is a concept that many dentists embrace. In daily clinical setting, dentists still deal with gross decay, infection, periodontal abcess, dental emergency on a routine basis. However, with increased public awareness and its desire to look and feel better dentally, dentists are practicing MI techniques more now than ever before, especially with the improvement of adhesive dentistry. Tooth color fillings and resin veneers have benefited from many different bonding systems. CAD/CAM technology has offered patients the chance to conserve tooth structure via inlays, onlays in addition to all ceramic crowns made of of lithium disilicate (e-Max) porcelain system.

Implants are available as a better option to replace a single missing tooth instead of removing sound structure of the adjacent teeth as retainers for bridges. MID is not limited to various technical advancements, it involves the dental providers educating the public about preventive dentistry. It's no longer acceptable to see a dentist once a year. Depending on patient's condition, they might need to visit the hygienist four times per year to maintain their periodontal condition, minimizing gum surgery if possible. Topical fluoride every six month is the best insurance policy for healthy, caries-free mouth. Park Family & Cosmetic Dentistry practices MID and advocates healthy mouth, healthy body via proper nutrition, making the connection between the mouth and the rest of the body's organ systems.

A Continued Commitment to Excellence in Dentistry - Learning, and Caring

In these days of high-tech dentistry and medicine, it's rare to find a dental team that exudes that "old-fashioned-family-feel" that so many of us remember from our childhood - however, that's exactly what patients can expect from the entire team of dental professionals at Park Family & Cosmetic Dentistry in Naples, FL - but that doesn't mean that Dr. Long and Dr. Huynh-Le aren't firmly committed to the very latest in technological advances in modern dentistry - investing in technology such as the E4D system, and dedication to continued education are the keys to the success of this Naples, Florida dental practice.

"One way that we stay current on the very latest in dental advances is attending conferences and seminars," says Dr. Long. "We spend a lot of time and money on continuing education, so we constantly grow, constantly learn. That benefits our patients directly. We never stop learning and growing, and we understand how important that is to our patients."

One of the latest seminars attended by the Doctors and staff of Park Family & Cosmetic Dentistry was "101 Ways To Improve Your Practice" - a comprehensive practice management seminar. The seminar focused on a broad spectrum of methods and techniques for operating a successful dental practice, from both clinical, as well as administrative perspectives.

"This will complement our philosophy of gentle, personalized dentistry very nicely," states Dr. Huynh-Le. "We've always been committed to providing not just great dental care - but exceptional dental care to our clientele. We want our patients to feel like they are family and friends, and excellence in dentistry is how we convey that sentiment."
