Today is Nobel Prize Day and we’re celebrating Leonard Linkow! Dr. Linkow was a dentist and a pioneer in the field of oral implantology. He held 36 patents in dental science and his NYC dental practice treated over 100,000 patients. Dental implants change people lives by replacing a missing tooth, several teeth or all of a patients teeth— completely restoring a patients smile. Our teeth help us to speak, chew, and smile confidently- all things that are critical to overall health and wellbeing. Dr. Linkow is the only dentist to ever be nominated for a Nobel Prize. How have dental implants changed your life?

Happy Black History Month!! Today we’re celebrating Dr. Ida Gray Nelson Rollins!! Dr. Ida Gray Nelson Rollins became the first African American female dentist in 1890. A former seamstress, who later began working under Dr. Jonathan Taft for three years, studying for entrance exams. Enrolling in the University Of Michigan School Of Dentistry in 1887, Dr. Rollins graduated in 1890.

Something tells us that if you’re on a cruise, and you need to see the dentist (yes cruise dentists exist) that you will have a much better experience than President Grover Cleveland had:
Grover Cleveland Had Top-Secret Oral Cancer Surgery – On a Yacht
Near the beginning of his second term in 1893, Grover Cleveland faced two major issues. Nationally, the country was entering a depression. Personally, a bump in his mouth had formed, grown and was diagnosed as cancer. To prevent nationwide panic, a clandestine plan was hatched.
On June 30, Cleveland boarded a yacht in New York Harbor with six doctors. In a 90-minute surgery the next day, surgeons removed the cancerous tumor, five teeth and part of his upper left jaw. Cleveland sat in a chair attached to the mast of the ship. His only anesthesia was laughing gas and ether. Four days later, Cleveland got off the yacht in Cape Cod and finished recovering at his summer home. He was later fitted with a rubber prosthesis that helped him speak normally again.

What is a Dental Bridge?
Dental bridges literally bridge the gap created by one or more missing teeth. One or more missing teeth can adversely affect the appearance and functionality of your smile. Missing teeth can cause a change in occlusion (bite), shifting of the teeth, temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ), speech impediments, an increased risk for periodontal disease and a greater chance of tooth decay.
A bridge is made up of two crowns for the teeth on either side of the gap – these two anchoring teeth are called abutment teeth – with a false tooth/teeth in between. These false teeth are called pontics and can be made from gold, alloys, porcelain, or a combination of these materials. Dental bridges are supported by natural teeth or implants.
Thank you so much to Mr & Mrs Mattia, your generosity is so appreciated by our entire team! It means so much to us!
