Can you picture Dr. Jerry Dunn on a Harley Davidson Road King, riding across the wild west with a gang of bikers? It’s happening this year, July 17-20^th! Dr. Dunn is excited to be making his final preparations for the ride of a lifetime with the Smiles For Life /Learning Curves “Grand Circle Adventure” ride.

In addition to participating in the Smiles For Life whitening event each year, Dr. Dunn has enlisted to ride in the Smiles For Life Benefit Ride for 2013. This summer, a group of 20 Crown Council dentists will form a motorcycle gang, led by leadership expert, Steve Anderson.

The gang will travel through some of the country’s most beautiful wilderness. Destinations include the Grand Canyon, Zions, Bryce Canyon and Capital Reef National Parks. They will ride by day, taking in the majestic scenery. By night they will engage in continuing education courses to expand their dental expertise.

As a group committed to developing their leadership abilities both on their dental teams and in their communities, the Crown Council dentists are riding for a cause. The proceeds from the “Grand Circle Adventure”, ride put on by Learning Curves, benefit the Smiles For Life Foundation, the charitable arm of the Crown Council.

Stay tuned to our blog for updates and photos of Dr. Dunn as he rides off into the sunset on this great adventure. We will be posting photos and commentary from Dr. Dunn throughout the four day trip, and welcoming him back home to Advanced Dental Care of Las Colinas on July 22. Be sure to ask Dr. Dunn about the experience when you come in for your dental check up.

BONUS PIC!

Of all the dental treatment and prevention we offer at Advanced Dental Care of Las Colinas, cosmetic dentistry is certainly one of the most exciting areas of our expertise. Dr. Jerry Dunn is committed to providing high quality, high tech dental care to the patients of his practice. In an effort to do so, you may have noticed some new, advanced dental procedures enter our scope of practice. Our patients expect the most current techniques and advanced solutions to their dental care needs. Just in case you’ve missed our newest additions, we’ve outlined some of them here.

Digital Impressions

Nobody likes having a dental impression taken. When your cosmetic dentistry plan requires models of your teeth, you can skip the discomfort and goopy mess of dental impressions and instead relax and enjoy the simplicity with the Itero digital scan which provides a 3-D computerized model of your teeth. Because the Itero offers incredible accuracy, you can be assured that your dental restorations, cosmetic dental veneers and bridges will fit you precisely, requiring fewer adjustments and a more natural fit.

All-On-Four Dental Implants

Missing teeth are one of the most common reasons patients seek cosmetic dentistry. With dental implants, individual teeth or even an entire set of teeth can be replaced. For complete full mouth dental implants, Dr. Dunn relies upon the proven All-On-Four technique which offers patients full dental replacement with as few as four dental implants per arch. Although dental implants provide a durable, comfortable and functional solution to missing teeth, they also provide incredible aesthetics, restoring your smile and making it possible for you to laugh out loud again.

Invisalign Clear Dental Aligners

One of the newest additions to our repertoire of cosmetic dental solutions is having the ability to straighten teeth without traditional braces. Many patients choose not to correct misaligned teeth because they do not want to contend with metal brackets and wires on their teeth during treatment. For many dental patients, a significant cosmetic improvement as well as functional improvements can be made in as little as one year using Invisalign clear dental aligners. The treatment involves wearing a clear, custom made sleeve over the teeth which resembles a teeth whitening tray. The trays are replaced every few weeks as the teeth are gently moved into alignment. A significant advantage with Invisalign is that there are no dietary restrictions, the trays are removed for meals. In addition, there are fewer appointments for adjustments, as the trays are easily replaced on schedule at home. Dental hygiene is not impacted because the trays are removed for usual brushing and flossing.

DURA-thin Veneers

Even healthy teeth are not always the most attractive teeth. Discoloration, stains, chips and even gaps can be corrected with cosmetic dental veneers. DURA-thin veneers offer the ability to correct problems such as these without the need for “prepping” (removal of tooth structure) of the teeth. A veneer covers the natural tooth with a cosmetically pleasing shell, which adheres to the tooth surface. It provides a new, whiter, even textured and perfectly shaped tooth covering. One of the most popular cosmetic dental procedures, Dr. Dunn offers this advanced solution to his patients who seek to improve their appearance with cosmetic dentistry.

Zoom! Professional Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening is an extremely popular cosmetic dental treatment. At Advanced Dental Care of Las Colinas, patients can improve their smile with teeth up to several shades whiter in just an hour. Using the laser technology available with Zoom! Whitening, our patients can sit back and relax while they whiten their teeth on their lunch hour. To achieve a bright, white smile at home, we also offer professional take-home teeth whitening to our patients.

Dr. Jerry Dunn Named Best Dentist In Irving For Third Year Running

Dr. Jerry Dunn has been named the Best Dentist In Irving by the Irving-Las Colinas Chamber of Commerce for the third year in a row. Thanks to the support of the loyal patients of Advanced Dental Care of Las Colinas, Dr. Dunn was honored to receive the award at the annual Chamber of Commerce Awards Dinner held on April 25^th.

“It is a huge honor to be named the Best Dentist In Irving by the Chamber of Commerce. My loyal patients who voted for me made it possible. I didn’t earn this recognition alone, however. I am deeply appreciative of my incredible staff, who through their professionalism and service-minded kindness create happy patients every day”, says Dr. Dunn. While 2013 marks the third year that Dr. Dunn has been given this honor, he has been named Best Dentist by the Dallas Morning News Neighbors to Go in 2008 and 2009.  Last year, his practice was honored by Angie's List with the Super Service Award.

A Dental Practice With a (Service) Attitude

A Dallas native, Dr. Dunn has enjoyed serving the dental needs of the residents of Irving and Las Colinas for over 25 years. His practice is built around a commitment to excellence and integrity. A big part of the philosophy behind Advanced Dental Care of Las Colinas involves being of service. Volunteerism in the community is encouraged for all employees. Dr. Dunn and his wife Connie are passionate supporters of the Arts and volunteer in support of the Irving Symphony Orchestra. As a member of The Crown Council, a worldwide association of dentists committed to service and excellence, Dr. Dunn and his team spend four months each year raising funds for children’s charities. Through the Smiles For Life Foundation’s annual teeth whitening event, they volunteer their time in exchange for a donation which benefits both the Smiles for Life Foundation and the locally operated Touch a Life Foundation. From March through June, patients and non-patients alike can take advantage of deeply discounted professional teeth whitening for just $99. The supplies are donated as well as the time, so all proceeds benefit the charities. Two months into the 2013 event, Dr. Dunn reports that the event has already been a huge success.

High Tech Dentistry

As the name states, patients of Advanced Dental Care of Las Colinas can count on receiving advanced dentistry in his practice. Committed to continual learning and innovation, Dr. Dunn offers high-tech dentistry which supports a lifetime of good dental health. Some of the state of the art services offered by Dr. Dunn include CEREC same day crowns, digital impressions, oral dna testing for gum disease, hpv testing for cancer risk as well as treatment for snoring and sleep apnea.
