Meet exceptional providers of medical-grade CBD and dentistry.
Sierra Smiles
Providing the highest-quality care using proven technology and techniques, the dentistry team at Sierra Smiles practices a non-invasive, preventative care approach. Spring into spring with a new smile and added health benefits through orthodontics.
Many believe teeth alignment is simply for cosmetics, making smiles straight and stunning, but little do they know orthodontics can prevent serious problems down the road. Crooked teeth and gaps can cause periodontal disease, gum recession, and tooth fractures. Often, orthodontics is used to create a strong foundation, preventing broken teeth and wear and gum problems.
Schedule a consultation with an Invisalign provider such as Sierra Smiles to see whether you’re a candidate for the world’s leading clear aligners. The non-invasive method to teeth straightening has been around since the late 1990s and offers an easy, quick, innovative solution for a beautiful, healthy smile. Plus, with a convenient, removable design, patients are able to clean the teeth and gums properly, unlike with traditional braces, which can make dental hygiene problematic.
Invisalign is not just for dental health, but it also is a great cosmetic feature for people who don’t like their smiles. Skip the knockoffs and go with the proven aligning method. The added preventative benefits will leave you showing off those pearly whites! To book an appointment and learn more about Invisalign, visit Sierrasmiles.com.

Saint Mary’s Regional Medical Center
Saint Mary’s now offers medical-grade CBD to patients to meet a need in the medical community. Many patients struggle with anxiety, inflammation, and pain associated with fibromyalgia, arthritis, or migraines, but medications to treat these conditions often come with many adverse side effects. CBD is a naturally occurring compound found in the cannabis plant and is another alternative for these patients. Unlike THC, CBD does not contain the psychoactive ingredient found in marijuana that produces a high. Locally farmed in Fallon, Desert Hemp offers an exclusive line of medical-grade CBD that is not available through other local retailers.
There is a huge demand for more natural remedies to help with certain conditions. As pharmaceuticals continue to come under more scrutiny due to side effects and the risk of addiction, patients are looking for alternatives to prescription medications.
“The response to CBD has been very positive,” says Megan Clowers, Oriental Medical Doctor with Saint Mary’s. “Many find they are able to manage their conditions such as arthritis, insomnia, and migraines well with CBD oil. We offer both topical and oral CBD to help with a wide range of medical conditions.”
Saint Mary’s is the first hospital health network to offer medical-grade CBD products to patients ages 18 and up. You must see a Saint Mary’s primary care provider to determine whether CBD is right for you. Once you have clearance from your provider, you can purchase CBD products through Saint Mary’s Family and Integrated Medicine Office.
As a patient of Saint Mary’s for more than 10 years, being treated for metastatic thyroid cancer and severe headaches, Noelle Garcia recognizes the benefits of using CBD.
“The removal of my thyroid and all of the medications I’m on have really taken a toll on my body,” she says. “CBD has helped me sleep better, stopped the migraines, and alleviated my anxious and stressful feelings. It’s amazing how quickly and well this has worked.”
CBD is approved for most, but it is not recommended for those who take Coumadin, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or are receiving chemotherapy. If you’re taking other medications, talk to your pharmacist or doctor before introducing it into your daily routine.
