Subject: Smiles of Punta will resume business May 11, 2020
We hope this email finds you and your family in good health. Our community has been through a lot over the last few months, and all of us are looking forward to resuming our normal habits and routines. While many things have changed, one thing at Smiles of Punta Gorda has remained the same: our constant commitment to your safety.
As you have surely seen during your visits to our office, infection control has always been a top priority for our practice. Our strict processes have consistently made the care you receive at Smiles of Punta Gorda both safe and comfortable.
Our office follows infection control recommendations made by the American Dental Association (ADA), the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). We continue to closely monitor the recommendations of these agencies so that we are up-to-date on any new rulings or guidance that may be issued.
When it is time for your next appointment, you may see some changes along with our already strict infection control protocols. For example:
We look forward to seeing you again and are happy to answer any questions you may have about the steps we take to keep you, and every patient, safe in our practice. To make an appointment, please call our office at 941-787-2223 or visit our website at www.smilesofpuntagorda.com.
Thank you for being our patient. We value your trust and loyalty and look forward to welcoming back our patients, neighbors and friends in the safest way possible.
Sincerely,
Jeremy Martin DMD,
Christopher Ramke DMD,
and your Smiles of Punta Gorda team
Our team is always here to answer any Punta Gorda dental questions you have. You can give us a call at 941-585-0424, and we’ll be glad to help. You may have the same questions as many of our patients, so we’d like to provide a few quick answers to the inquiries we receive most often.
If you have other Punta Gorda dental questions, just give us a call today at 941-585-0424, and we’ll be glad to help.
You’re not alone! Millions of adults suffer from dental anxiety, and it’s one of the biggest roadblocks to better oral health.
That’s why Dr. Martin and our team at Smiles of Punta Gorda are committed to your comfort! We offer oral sedation so you can get the dental treatment you need without feeling scared, anxious, or stressed at all. Also, you can take advantage of our various comfort options so your appointment is more comfortable and relaxing from start to finish.
Pain in the jaw, facial pain, problems opening and closing your mouth, and headaches may be due to TMJ problems. Chronic teeth grinding and even gum chewing can contribute to TMJ issues. We offer customized mouthguards that can relieve the pain, improve function, and protect your teeth.
A dental emergency can cause tremendous suffering or even result in lost teeth. Don’t wait. Call Smiles of Punta Gorda at once at 941-585-0424 for a same-day or next-day emergency appointment.
Dr. Martin is proud to offer dental implants to replace one tooth, several teeth, or even a full arch of missing teeth. Implants are extremely durable, which makes them a great investment in your smile and your health.
At Smiles of Punta Gorda, the entire process – from placing the implants to restoring them with a crown, bridge, or denture – is completed in-house. You’ll deal with one office, one staff, and one billing department.
Chronic bad breath (also called halitosis) is often a side effect of gum disease. Our dentist is expertly trained to treat gum disease and the bad breath it causes. Not only can you get better breath here, but we can help keep your teeth and gums healthy.
We provide many cosmetic dentistry solutions for concealing and correcting dental flaws. Chips, staining, cracks, “gummy” smiles, and other cosmetic issues can be helped with the following services:
We offer short-term Invisalign orthodontics, which are clear and virtually unnoticeable. These removable orthodontics gently correct your smile quickly (usually within just one year!) and are much more comfortable than old-school metal braces.
Absolutely! Dentures can replace some or all of your teeth and can last for years with proper care. We’ll schedule regular appointments with you to make sure they remain in great shape. We even offer free consultations if you’re interested in finding out more!
The right toothbrush all depends on your smile, which is why we encourage you to visit us soon. Some people use the wrong toothbrushes or brushing techniques, which can actually cause harm to gums and ineffectively clean teeth. Let us take a look and provide professional advice so you’re making the most of your at-home care.
Absolutely. Dr. Jeremy Martin provides tooth extractions, including wisdom teeth, when needed. If you’re thinking about dental implants, he offers several procedures (ridge augmentation and bone grafts) to make your bone strong enough for implants. He can also restore receding gums using gum grafts.
We can definitely understand your concern and confusion about seeing the dentist during a pandemic, but we have you covered! Our office has always followed strict guidelines to prevent the spread of infection, but we have instituted additional protocols to keep you and our team safe during this unprecedented time. Call us if you have any additional questions about what you should do to prepare for your next appointment.
Teeth whitening products you find in stores will never stand up to the powerful systems a dentist can offer. That’s why we recommend our customized take-home teeth whitening treatment that provides customization for even results safely and more quickly than store-bought products.
Call Dr. Martin and Smiles of Punta Gorda at 941-585-0424 to learn more or to schedule an appointment.
Best dental practice in Punta Gorda. I almost like going to the dentist lol! Friendly, professional staff. Dr. Martin is excellent Have been a patient for several years and will continue going there for my dental care
From my initial phone call with Darla who helped set up my appointment, to my interactions with Hannah the hygienist, and Dr Martin I found everyone in the office to be courteous and professional. Dr Martin clearly explained the situation with my tooth, the options that were available to me, and answered all my questions. Hannah reviewed everything with me and went over next steps in the process. Based on my exceptional experience with the office I have already recommended Smiles of Punta Gorda to friends that are relocating here.
Dr Martin and his amazing staff are the utmost professionals
Excellent service as always. This says it all. I have been your patient for 18 years. Thanks to all of you!
Dr. Ramke and Niparath were amazing. I came in with some complicated issues and that took time and were very thorough and very gentle. The entire office was professional and clean. I definitely recommend Smiles of Punta Gorda for any dental concerns.
