What Color Are You?

What color are you? We took the Color Code personality test so we can better understand ourselves and each other. Do you know what color you are? We had some good laughs as we learned some funny things about our dental team when we tossed a beach ball covered with silly questions.

We spent a day out of the office to get pumped up and motivated about life and our love for the people that we see everyday. Started off with happy music that made us want to dance and bounce the balloons around the room!

Something fishy happened at our meeting! We watched a DVD on the Fish Philosophy based on a crazy fresh fish market in the northeast. The fish mongers talked about how they find the joy in coming to work each day. It proves that no matter what your work or home environment is - even stinky fish! - that we can be happy and love what we do and who we are with!

Dr. Staples ended the meeting with thanking his wonderful staff at Staples Dental. They are the key to the success of this awesome dental practice! Dentistry is not all about the clinical and technical stuff. It is the patients and the team that make it all worth it! We went from the meeting to a yummy dinner and finished the day with more music and entertainment at this:

It was a great day overall! We are even more committed to better serve and care for our patients!

USC Sponsored Dental IV Sedation Classes

The Staples Dental team wants to show you our latest training in the dental sedation industry. Here's photos from the past two weekends!

The USC Dental School Continuing Education Clinical Intravenous Sedation program is THE best in the nation led by the highly regarded Dr. Stanley F. Malamed. He is a dentist anesthesiologist, professor of anesthesia and medicine, author, and a sought after national lecturer. He has written several books that are referred to as the standard of care in Dental IV Sedation and dental Emergency Management. I feel so fortunate to have been taught and certified by the most respected authority in this field.

I have to brag on my two awesome dental assistants, Jan and Dianna. These two have a career in assisting that together adds up to around 50 years. They made me so proud during the USC Dental IV Sedation clinic series by their display of professionalism, expert knowledge and not being intimidated by the instructors. Some of them met their match when they came up against my staff! These ladies knew their stuff and were not afraid to demonstrate their skills. With their help, I was able to complete all of our clinical cases and requirements early. Thanks Jan and Dianna for a job well done!

We are grateful to the nice patients from the Los Angeles area that showed up everyday to the USC Dental School to be sedated and get their dental work done.

A big shout out to our office manager, Deann, for holding down the fort while we were away several times attending the USC sponsored IV Sedation program. You always show such kindness to all of our patients and keep our schedule humming along. Thanks to you, our patients are happy and coming back. I think you know everybody in town!
After long hours in the USC Dental School doing IV Sedation certification, even the doctor and assistants need a break from being "down in the mouth" all day long! Jan, Dr. Staples and Dianna enjoy the Farmer's Market at The Grove in the Los Angeles area. Isn't it nice to have strong healthy teeth to bite into a crisp candied apple? Call now at 702-991-0404 or drop in to Staples Dental to find out how you can have the pleasure of eating things like this again!

What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are metal anchors that act as a root to a tooth. Dental implants can replace missing, broken or fractured teeth with a natural look. The implant is placed in the upper or lower jaw. The metal fuses with the bone and becomes a good anchor for the tooth replacement. Dental implants give a foundation for replacement teeth that looks and feels natural. The implant is stable, comfortable and should last a lifetime. Dental implants provide a stable root structure and can prevent loss to your jawbone structure.

Dr. Staples has extensive training as an implant dentist as a Real Choice dental implant provider. He also leads the Las Vegas Dental Implant Study Club to provide consultations and mentoring for other dentists.
