Exclusive Health & Cosmetic Special from Dr. Ghiz
As a show of our appreciation for the years for your continued confidence and support we are pleased to offer an in office, light activated, tooth whitening, comprehensive examination and consultation at a fee of $250 but we are now also instituting a new “state of the art”, non-invasive, oral cancer screening (VELscope) at no cost (value of $95).
Due to the increase prevalence and severity of oral cancer we would like to extend this packager not only to our patients and their family members but also to their friends, colleagues or anyone who believes in prevention!
Briefly and historically tobacco and alcohol played a major role and still do in oral cancer, however, today the striking increase, especially among our young, has been attributed to the HPV (Human Papilloma Virus). Due to the completely safe nature of this system we encourage the screening of older teenagers where there may be risk factors.

Stem Cells Eliminate The Need For Bridges And/Or Implants
By: Ronald S. Ghiz, DDS
Over two decades ago implants changed the face of dentistry that is in the way we treat patients forever. Now we're in the forefront of another tremendous breakthrough that of growing new teeth and reversing periodontal disease from our own cells!!!
As a dentist we have had three options for replacing one or more missing teeth, that of surgery (implants), a fixed bridge or a removable denture. We will soon have a fourth, more natural alternative to replacing lost teeth as well as treating other dental diseases.
