We are proud to announce the addtion of two new team members for the RIDC office!

She originally hails from Kittanning however now resides in Natrona Heights, PA and has a 7 year old daughter, Erin. Heather, with her dynamic, outgoing personality and voice will soon be taking calls for the new office, slated to open in early June! In Heather's own words, "I can't wait!"
 Also, we have the privilege of working with another consumate professional, Dr. Susan Schoewe who has been in the dental profession practicing near Pittsburgh for over 20 years. She is truly an amazing and talented cosmetic dentist and resides in Hampton Township, PA. She is also very happy to be part of the Voller Dentistry team and brings a tremendous amount of experience and personality to the new office! Dr Voller is very proud to have the privilege of practicing with Dr. Schoewe, and her rapport with her patients is second to none! She is the daughter of the late Dr. Robert "Bob" Schoewe, also a well-known and well-respected cosmetic and restorative dentist, who also served the Pittsburgh area for many years. Dr. Schoewe is married to Dr. James DiPerna, a noted and our referring periodontal and implant specialist, who just happens to be in the third suite in our building practicing with Dr. Amber Foronda, also an excellent and very talented periodontal and implant specialist! Dr. Susan has three daughters and a son, and is a 1987 graduate of the University of Pittsburgh School of Dental Medicine. Her post-graduate training came from her residency at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital. She has also attended the Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies.
Dr. Voller Now Treats Sleep Disorders!
Dr. Voller now treats sleep disorders such as SNORING AND OBSTRUCTIVE SLEEP APNEA. Many problems, including weight gain, heart disease, high blood pressure, improper diet, sexual dysfunction, oral problems, and even premature death are likely to be related to sleep disorders and airway obstruction. Most of the conventional types of orthodontic treatment (braces) that are performed do not consider the possibility that moving teeth and jaws in ways that restrict the airway can have serious long-term negative effects. Many treatments for mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea problems are ones that can only be performed by a dentist. Simple to severe snoring can be alleviated by utilizing dental appliances and other modalities to help keep the airway open to allow normal breathing while asleep. If you or someone you know snores, has sleep apnea, or wears a CPAP appliance, we’d be happy to discuss a healthier, more comfortable alternative.
Dr. Voller Goes Digital!
Our technology renovations are now complete. We welcome
you to visit us for a complimentary tour of our "digitized" facility
and to meet the whole vollersmiles.com team! Our entire
office is "digitized"! ALL dental
treatment rooms have a complete
dual monitor computer right at the chair in
front of our clients
to help diagnose, plan treatment, make and change
appointments, and help with client education.
With our new cosmetic
imaging system, we can even "preview" your
new smile! Plus, we can instantly print out your
photographs
or email them
to you for viewing at home.
Internet access and
cable television is also available at each chair.
(You can even check
your email!) Not only does this
new system help improve client care directly in the
office, but it also allows us to communicate effortlessly
with our referring team of specialists for our clients
who require care outside of the general practice.
What Else is New, You Ask?
We have also recently updated to a digital radiography system, which enables x-rays
to be taken that
can be viewed on a large computer monitor.
This not
only allows
us to help streamline all of your diagnostic information in our
computer system, digital radiography also has the added
benefit of reducing
our already low radiation
dosage by up to 90%.
All of the dental charting will be done via
computer to help store all the vital client information,
including all photographs, radiographs,
microscope
studies
and electronic charting. Communication with your insurance company
can
be done instantly from the chair via our new system too!
From
virtually any location in the office, all client records
will be able to be stored, sent and viewed digitally.
Dr. Voller
Now Does Laser Dentistry!
In addition to the DIAGNOdent,
the laser assisted diagnostic device that helps us
find decay in it's earliest stages,
Dr. Voller recently
added
a laser to his
practice to help with client treatment. The new laser
can be utilized to remove and or accurately contour excess
tissue,
control
bleeding,
treat and
remove painful
ulcers and even biopsy suspicious looking areas.
One More
Thing!
In the hygiene department, we've just added the
state-of-the-art piezoelectric scaler! It is said to
provide the ultimate
in comfort for removing
deposits and stains in and around teeth and to help
treat gum and bone disease.
Some people
say it's even gentler than hand scaling! Plus, it's
SO QUIET you may fall asleep while having your teeth
cleaned! |
