Dr McCrea's blog

This past weekend I was at the the Academy of GP Orthodontics Annual Meeting in Memphis Tennessee. One of my classmates from dental school, Dr. Keith Wilkerson, a pediatric specialist,  was there to lecture on interceptive orthodontic treatment for the children in our practices. In some cases early treatment provides better outcomes for later orthodontic treatment or even eliminates the need for braces completely. Keith has some techniques that we are starting to use at the office.

I just attended the first of 9 monthly three day lecture and surgical sessions in the Comprehensive Implant Residency Program (CIRP) at The Foundry Dental Center in Bessemer Alabama.

Big news! We are expanding our implant services. I just completed the Alabama Implant Education’s week long program for surgical placement of implants. We have restored implants for years, but finding a good program, at the right time, for placement has been elusive. During my week in Birmingham I placed 9 implants under the supervision of Dr.s McCracken and Rosenstiel. We studied their protocols for full arch (all top and/or all bottom) placement and individual implant placement.

It took us nearly a year to get our new website together but it's finally here! Our new site is now mobile friendly and if you look around has plenty of examples of the services we provide. We have also added software at the the office that will help us to schedule appointments, and to remind you of appontments you already have.
