Welcome, Dr. Jamie Amir!

The office is making substantial changes in anticipation of welcoming our new associate, Dr. Jamie Amir. Dr. Amir just finished up his training at the University of Florida. He will come to us with a diverse and comprehensive background. His original training in dentistry was in England. He then came to the United States for all of his advanced dental training. Dr. Amir brings to us a two year residency in dental implants and a three year residency in periodontics. Five years of post-graduate education in the specialties that we deal in, plus four years of dental school training means nine years of post-graduate training. This is unique and very special in our field. Dr. Sheldon has had the opportunity of teaching Dr. Amir over the past three years and observing Dr. Amir’s work. We are thrilled to have Dr. Amir with us. Dr. Amir’s diverse training will allow us to open new services to our patients and to our referring doctors. Dr. Amir’s scheduled start date is July 6th.

Office Update!

We are happy to have a new addition to our staff. Michelle, our new sterilization technician, joined our team last week. Michelle is an experienced dental assistant who has additional schooling in dental hygiene. She says what she likes so far about our office is “everybody’s willingness to help each other out in a team environment.”

I am hosting another free dental implant lecture this Wednesday, March 18th at 1:00 p.m. This lecture is designed for anyone who wants to learn more about dental implants or Teeth-In-an-Hour. It lasts about an hour and we do provide a light lunch. If you would like to attend, please give us a call at (321) 259-9980.

Last Week's Lecture for General Dentists

I like to help out any way I can in the area of continuing education. We were pleased to have Larry Calton, from Calton Lab in Gainesville, here last week. He conducted a lecture for our local general dentists. The lecture was held here at my office. Our turnout was so fantastic that we will be having another one! I think everyone that attended gained some extremely useful knowledge and understanding from the lab standpoint.

Our first Teeth-In-An-Hour patient returned today for his regular check up. His procedure was completed four years ago. He said today that it was the best investment that he ever made. Bob is 81 years old, still works as a flight instructor, and is doing better than ever!

Weekly Update

This week has been busy! We were thrilled to have had the pleasure of company in the office. A senior periodontal resident from the University of Florida visited and observed our office this week.

Our implant seminar was held on Tuesday. We had a great turn-out and hope to see many more new faces for the next seminar, which will be on February 4th.

I am excited to announce that we will have another addition to the office! My lead surgical assistant, Nicole, is expecting the delivery of her 2nd child, a daughter, in early March. Stay tuned for her name.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! I hope this message finds you well and that you had a great holiday! I thought I’d update you with some things that have been going on in and out of the office.

We started our vacation with our annual staff holiday party which was held at Eleanor’s and my home. We all had dinner together, shared lots of laughs, and I made Bananas Foster for everyone! I spend so much time with my staff throughout the day and it is really nice to get to spend some time with their families as well.

I am proud to announce that our son, Matthew, got married on December 28th. We are so happy to have Jenifer added to our family!

I am conducting a Dental Implant seminar which is free to anyone who would like to attend. All we ask is that you bring a can of food to donate to our local food banks. We hold one every three weeks and this month’s seminar will be on Tuesday, January 13th at 1:00 p.m. A light lunch will be provided. The goal from the seminar is to help the attendees understand what dental implants are, what to expect from the procedure, and gives an opportunity for attendees to get any questions answered. I hope that if you have not attended a seminar and are interested in implants, I will see you there!

Best Wishes for an Excellent 2009!

Sincerely,

Lee N. Sheldon, D.M.D.

What's in an exam?

One of the services that I am most proud of is our examination. I know. There's glamour in treatment. Surgery has such an important connotation. Implants are great. Cosmetic surgery is such a big deal. Well, without the examination without the proper sequence of treatment, all the fancy surgery in the world may not help.

The fact is that good treatment begins with a good treatment plan. A good treatment plan is more likely to result in lasting treatment. It results in completed treatment. It results in fewer "redos." It gives you the confidence that the work is going to be completed and completed well.

I cannot tell you the world of difference there is between a well thought out treatment plan, and one that is not well thought out. Remember the project that you were a part of? Do you remember the project that was well done? Do you remember the project that was not? What was the difference between the two? I'll bet that the well done project was well thought out before it was even started.

Now we've taken the exam and treatment plan and moved it one step further. Donate $50 or more to one of our selected charities and you get the exam and x-rays at no charge. The exam and x-rays is ordinarily $200. Whether you need our services or not, this offer applies to you. You will leave knowing what dental work you should have done. And you'll have a written plan that you can take to any dentist along with the x-rays. So far, we've collected over $50,000 for charity in this way. So benefit yourself while you benefit these charities. Please give us a call at 259-9980 and make an appontment for a full examination. Get the treatment plan that you need before you start treatment.
