2014 Rocky Mountain Dental Convention

2014 Rocky Mountain Dental Convention

This picture was taken at the 2014 Rocky Mountain Dental Convention with Jane, LeeAnn, and Michelle (Lisa not pictured).  We spent two days attending continuing education classes and visiting vendor booths to see the latest in dental products.  Dr. Albers attended lectures of nationally renowned speakers including Dr. Gordon Christensen (lecture on dental advancements in multiple areas including endodontics, crowns, implants, new materials, etc.) and Dr. Dennis Tarnow, (lecture on treatment planning for complex implant cases).  This annual event is an important part of our commitment to patients to stay abreast of the latest trends and advancements in dentistry.

Same Day Crowns

Same Day Crowns

We are excited to offer same day crowns utilizing the E4D Dentist System.  In May, Dr. Albers and his assistant, Michele, traveled to the E4D Corporate offices in Dallas, Texas, for two days of intensive training.  A final in-office training had to be postponed after Dr. Albers broke his ankle sliding into second base….  This training has been rescheduled, and we anticipate offering this new service by mid-June.  For more information on the E4D system, please see the Same Day Crown page of the website.

Dentistry & Sleep Disturbance

In January, I traveled to San Antonio, Texas for a course dealing with sleep disturbance and its relationship to sleep bruxism (grinding of the teeth). This 2 day course was full of new and valuable information about what dentists can do to help patients with sleep disturbance issues, from snoring to sleep apnea.  We learned about the process of falling asleep, how sleep disorders can impact a patient’s health, and different treatments the dental provider can utilize to helpalleviate some of these problems.  While sleep disturbances have varied underlying causes, many requiring medical care, dentists can provide help to patients, usually by fashioning oral appliances to advance the lower jaw, thus increasing airway space.  This is an area of dentistry I find very interesting, and I plan to continue to expand my knowledge in this area.
