Some questions for your consideration:
Are you sick and tired of the same old dental treatment?
Often times doctors have a hard time making changes. As a
result they tend to do the same things year after year without
recognizing the need to improve techniques and materials.
Dr. Ernst made a 100% commitment several years ago to
dramatically
change the services he provides. He used state of the art
materials,
techniques and equipment. Along with his unusually
compassionate approach to patients, Dr. Ernst provides hi-tech
dentistry with a unique
approach to dentistry.
Does the thought of going to the dentist terrify you?
Once you've experienced Dr. Ernst empathetic, compassionate and
non-judgmental approach to your concerns, your anxieties will immediately begin to dissolve. As soon as you've benefited
from Dr. Ernst's unique methods to eliminate fear and pain, you'll
never be afraid to visit him again. (Ask Jody Coughlin, Jim Dowling,
Russell Todt and Al Semple for testimonials.)
Do you hate getting shots of Novocain?
Local anesthetics (Novocain injections) can be administered
almost painlessly with the use of several techniques that Dr.
Ernst has perfected over the years in his practice.
Are you concerned about mercury toxicity?
In the recent decade more and more evidence has come to light
of potential harmful effects of mercury in the body. There
are many
sources of mercury that we are exposed to throughout the
day. One of these sources is a silver mercury filling.
Due to a preponderance
of evidence that suggests mercury may be dangerous to our body, I
chose, four years ago, to stop providing mercury type
restorations.
The materials I use today, which are primarily porcelain and
composite are a new class of ceramics. They have undergone
more scrutiny
than any other materials previously used in dentistry, and thus I
believe, are much safer and more effective for my patients.
Do you have questions about the safety of fluoride?
Like mercury, fluoride has been a controversial subject for
many years. However with a lot of new evidence over the last
few years,
I've come to the conclusion that the risks involved in using
fluoride outweigh the benefits. Several years ago I stopped
recommending
the use of fluoride for the treatment of dental care when the
government mandated that all toothpaste manufacturers provide a
warning
on tubes of toothpaste stating that if you swallow more than is
needed to brush your teeth contact your poison control center.
Do you hate the look of old black fillings in your mouth?
Silver fillings turn black with age. Dr. Ernst uses 21st
century restorative materials that are so enamel-like that it is
hard to tell them apart from the natural tooth.
Are you more health conscious than others?
Some of us are more concerned about the food we eat the water
we drink and the air we breath and the things we put in our
bodies
than others. If you are one of these individuals it
will please you to know that Dr. Ernst used the most compatible
materials for our bodies ever provided by dentists.
Do you take advantage of alternative therapies?
Dr. Ernst's "whole health" approach to dental care
makes him unique in the field of general dentistry.
Would you like a Dr. who will listen to you?
If your dentist does not listen to you then he or she cannot
possibly understand what your needs are. You'll find that in
addition to being an excellent listener, Dr. Ernst is an extremely compassionate and
empathetic person.
Are you tired of dentists who advertise "gentle dental
care" and then don't provide it?
Dr. Ernst feels that this is the most unfulfilled promise made
by dentists today. As a result he puts a lot of energy into
making you as
comfortable as possible. He firmly believes that if he
cannot get you comfortable then no one can.
Do you have crooked teeth, but do not want to go through years
of braces?
With porcelain veneers, Dr. Ernst can change the shape, color,
and position of your teeth in a few weeks not a few years.
He encourages you to set up a NO FEE consultation to discover the
benefits of these remarkable materials.
Do you know what porcelain veneers and inlays are?
The materials that Dr. Ernst used were developed in the last
few years. These enamel-like materials are made from a new class of materials.
Do you know what an Intra-Oral Camera is?
An Intra-Oral Camera is one of the most effective diagnostic
tools available today. With this equipment the Dr. can
project pictures
of your teeth, under high magnification, onto a TV screen, and
recognize problems that often go undetected during oral or
radiographic examinations.
