Sierra Smiles
Amid the hustle of the holiday season, a little self-care and dental health can go a long way. At Sierra Smiles in Reno and Lake Tahoe, you, as a patient, are treated to pampering spa amenities, including indulgent paraffin wax dips, warm neck pillows with essential oils, and fresh cookies at the end of each appointment.
“Patients feel it’s a real treat to come in for their routine hygiene wellness visits,” explains John Bocchi, DDS. “We strive to make dentistry inviting and remove the fear or apprehension that the patient may have. We want patients to leave feeling comfortable and confident in their smiles.”
If you need more than the routine visit, Sierra Smiles can accommodate you, as most dental procedures are offered under one roof and, often, can be completed the same day.
Sierra Smiles has expert dentists and a team working with state-of-the-art equipment to address your complete health. The team now is able to perform sedation dentistry, implants, and full-mouth smile transformations for patients, thanks to the addition of Dr. Peter Ricciardi to the practice to help provide these specialty services.
In addition to sedation dentistry, smile transformations also can include clear aligners, allowing patients to skip the traditional braces and head right to beautifully straight teeth. Same-day crowns, courtesy of the advanced CEREC® machine, mean there’s no wait for veneers and crowns. For that extra sparkle, Sierra Smiles also offers in-office whitening treatments, as well as take-home whitening kits, making for a holiday smile that shines brightly.
“This season, don’t let a painful cracked tooth, a fear of dentistry, or embarrassment about your smile deter you from celebrating with family and friends,” Bocchi says. “This goes for the children, too. Before indulging in all the sweets and merriment, book an appointment to ensure complete mouth health for the whole family. We always look forward to helping children and teens understand the simple ways they can maintain healthy smiles.”
Whether it’s a routine hygiene wellness visit from a friendly, highly trained dental hygienist, sedation dentistry, or simply brightening your smile through whitening or veneers, your comfort is top priority. Treat yourself and your family to wellness and a healthy smile this season at Sierra Smiles. For details, visit Sierrasmiles.com.
Brain Health Restoration
What’s all the talk about ketamine? Brain Health Restoration can provide ketamine therapy for depression, posttraumatic stress disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, anxiety, and certain types of chronic nerve pain. Ketamine has been proven effective for major depressive disorder, treatment-resistant depression, and bipolar depression.
Many people begin feeling the beneficial effects of ketamine within two to 24 hours after treatment and experience sudden relief from depressive symptoms, including any desire to commit suicide (if present). Others may notice subtle improvements such as increased energy and motivation, the ability to work through issues that they were unable to in the past, and the ability to think about their problems more objectively and come to solutions more easily.
Ketamine might not be the entire solution, but it may be the missing component needed in your healing process. Every person is unique, and every person responds to medical treatments differently. Ketamine is a medical treatment and should only be used when medically necessary. For details, visit Brainhealthrestoration.com.
