Over the Thanksgiving break we saw a lot of college students, returning to Cleveland from Miami University (my alma mater), The Ohio State University, Kenyon, Princeton, Indiana, and even "that school up North" (i.e. Michigan). We reminded each of them to wear their orthodontic retainers (if they had braces), to try and stay away from sugar-laden drinks [...]
Our office has recently been featured on WKYC/Channel 3's new morning show, "Live on Lakeside," hosted by Michael Cardemone, Holly Strano, and Joe Cronauer. They have visited with us in our imaging and treatment rooms, focusing on the new techniques and materials in dentistry, including the Cadent Itero digital imaging system for impressions, the Dexis [...]
We hope all of our patients, colleagues, and friends had a wonderful Thanksgiving - and remembered to brush and floss after the turkey stuffing and sugar-laden deserts! It is appropriate that we give thanks to each of you for your confidence, loyalty, and support. Having been in private practice for 32 years, following my tour [...]
As the year comes to a close, for those of our patients with insurance - whether through Medical Mutual, Aetna, Met Life, or any other company - you may have some coverage left that you want to use before the end of 2012. Benefits generally do not carry over from one year to the next, with [...]

My wife Wendy and I were in attendance, and the evening was simply spectacular, from the skating exhibition at the Quicken Loans arena (with Wynonna Judd providing [...]
We're so proud of our excellent staff here at ClevelandSmiles. Their response to Hurricane Sandy was nothing short of extraordinary. We sent this e-mail out to our patients on Wednesday: Dental Care & “Sandy” It’s time for me to thank our staff and our patients for their dedication to providing and receiving dental treatment, respectively.

A patient recently asked me how they could see a television segment they had missed that we had done on Golden Opportunities on WKYC on the very thin porcelain veneers (.3 - .5 mm thick), similar to Lumineers. I directed them to the YouTube channel where most of the segments are archived. The other option [...]
As you may know, we were recently awarded the top rating by Angie's List, which was extremely gratifying. For those of you who are members of the group and have sent in ratings, we appreciate your kind words. Others of you may want to log onto Foursquare, Yelp, or other rating/identifying internet groups to add [...]
As the fall and football/lacrosse seasons are upon us, it's time to revisit ways to protect your smile with athletic mouthguards, like the kind worn by Brandon Weeden to RGIII to - dare I mention - LeBron James. The boil-and-bite mouthguards work OK, but here at ClevelandSmiles, we're able to make custom mouthguards that fit [...]
