The Word on Implants
|
Although we all strive to take good care of our teeth, sometimes
as a result of injury or decay, we suffer tooth loss. If you are
not thrilled with the prospect of dentures or a removable bridge
(known as a partial), then we have an exciting alternative for
you to consider.
 Implants
are one of the newest technologies in the dental field today.
For those of you who may not know, implants are permanent
artificial teeth that are "implanted" into the bone.
Implants allow patients a great freedom from the inconvenience
of traditional dentures and partials.
Patients who are tired of embarrassing denture slippage and
dislike restrictions may find
implants an appealing solution to tooth loss. The great news is
that most patients with these problems are excellent
candidates for implants!
The
procedure entails the implanting of permanent metal posts into
the bone with natural looking teeth locked into the posts. Along
with the dentist, you select the shape, color and even the
precise alignment of your new teeth. This technology allows for
a natural looking healthy smile. In fact, many patients have a
more attractive smile than ever before!
If you are
interested in learning more about this exciting technology and
how it can benefit you, call us at 836-0877 and set up a
consultation. If it is more convenient, we can give you more
information over the phone or you can drop in and see us
anytime.

Our patients will recognize Ann
Elliott as one of the many smiling faces in Dr. Calvert's
office. Since joining the practice as a dental assistant in
1993, Ann has been a valued member of the family.
In addition to her duties as
dental assistant, she is responsible for keeping the office
current on OSHA standards and ordering all of the office
dental supplies.
According to Ann, "I have
worked in the dental field for 25 years and have enjoyed it.
But, working with Dr. Calvert and the rest of the staff, I
feel as though I have found my second family. We get our work
done and have a lot of fun, all at the same time," Ann
said. She attributes the high level of patient satisfaction to
this family atmosphere.
Besides her work at the office,
Ann is dedicated to her family. Husband Boyce and daughters,
Deborah Ann Robertson and Cathy Lynn Jackson occupy much of
her time. However, her greatest joy is spending time with her
13-year-old granddaughter Ashley Marie.
In addition to her family, Ann
enjoys working in her flower garden and swimming. She even
likes to fish and read an occasional good book!
Ann is originally from Pensacola,
but has lived in Birmingham since she was two years old. A
graduate of Phillips High School, she and her husband have
lived in Center Point for 18 years.
It is easy to see how the office
has such a family atmosphere, like Ann, the entire staff is
friendly, and most have been here for many years. We are all
proud to have Ann as a member of our team.

dentist,
don't hesitate to refer them to us. We are always welcoming new patients

give us a call at 836-0877 to set up an appointment.
The clock is
ticking on 2000, maximize the use of your
dental insurance before the millennium!
 Although
it is hard to believe another summer is behind us. It is already fall,
the kids are back in school and the holiday season is quickly
approaching. Now is the time to get the maximum from your dental
insurance. Go ahead and schedule appointments for any necessary dental
work before the year is up!
Don't throw away
your benefits! Make
sure to have your dental work done before the next deductible is due. If
you need extensive work done go ahead and schedule a 2000 appointment.
Procedures can be completed in 2000. This way you will be using your
maximum benefits for two years. Start the millennium right, with a
healthy smile on your face. We are always here to
help, so for any questions about our services call us at 836-0877. As
always, your dental health is very important to
Dr. Calvert and the entire staff!
T wo years ago I decided to join
practices with Dr. Calvert. I chose him because he and his staff
practice the same high level of dentistry, which I strive to provide for
my patients. After working in the office for two years, I am even more
convinced that the practice provides the best dental care in the area.
September 30th will be my last day in
this office, but I am confident that Dr. Calvert and his staff will
continue serving your needs. I have enjoyed seeing all of you and wish
you all the best in the future.
Sincerely,
James Melton, Jr., DMD
In Case You Have Not Noticed
Keep your eye out for us because we are
where you would least expect to see us! We have just begun an
information campaign to get the word out about our office. The campaign
features a variety of outdoor boards and print advertisements in The
Cahaba Journal, The Eastern Times and The Birmingham News Eastern Zone.
The outdoor boards are located on
Highway 79 South, Roebuck Parkway, near the office and in Trussville on
Highway 11, just south of 459.
Those featured in the print ads and
outdoor boards include Dr. Calvert, his grandchildren, Brandon and
Shannon Calvert, Dr. Melton, Mary Jean Romano, Joanna Bookout, and F.
.E. and Mary Alice Williams.
Our
mission is to restore and maintain good oral health to last a lifetime
for the people we serve. We are here to assist, educate and encourage
our patients in achieving this goal.
We are dedicated to a planned program of
continuing education to assist us in providing fee-for-service
dentistry, by a professional, caring team.
Our patients are deserving of the best
opportunity to have the very best dental health to which they are
willing to commit. Good oral health can be accomplished through a mutual
commitment by our staff and those who seek our services. |
