A white smile – the perfect wedding day accessory

Are you planning your spring or summer wedding? You’ve probably considered how you want your hair, makeup, dress, and decorations to look—but what about your smile? Dr. Peter Pate’s cosmetic services can keep your smile bright through all your wedding photographs and festivities.

Brightening Before the Big Day

According to SHAPE Magazine, many brides wish they had a whiter smile for their wedding. It’s your day to shine, and your smile is no exception. If you need whiter teeth, Dr. Pate can remove discolorations with whitening treatments, dental bonding, or porcelain veneers to keep your smile bright. If you need straighter teeth, follow in the footsteps of celebrity Katherine Heigl, who used Invisalign to straighten her teeth before her nuptials. Make sure you plan your cosmetic treatments ahead of time so you can adjust to your new smile.

Smiling During the Ceremony

You’ll be surrounded by photographers as you stand at the altar. You’re already nervous about tripping down the aisle, so don’t let your imperfect smile add to your stresses. A beautiful smile will not only look good in photos and memories, but will also improve your confidence. When it comes to the “I do” moment, be sure to keep your lips hydrated and your breath fresh to enjoy the big kiss.

You should also make sure that your pre-wedding planning doesn’t stress you out and cause you to neglect your dental needs. To keep your smile healthy and beautiful before, during, and after your wedding, visit Dr. Pate. Contact Dentistry in Buckhead at (404) 266-9424 to schedule an appointment for your big day. We welcome patients from Buckhead, Sandy Springs, Lenox, Brookhaven, Atlanta, and surrounding communities.

National Sleep Awareness Week

Filed under: Stop Snoring — Tags: atlanta dentist, atlanta family dentist, atlanta sleep apnea, buckhead dentist, buckhead sleep apnea, can't sleep atlanta, daytime sleepiness atlanta, dentist atlanta, dentist brookhaven, dentist buckhead, dentist lenox, dentist sandy springs, family dentist atlanta, sleep apnea treatment atlanta, sleep better atlanta, sleepless nights atlanta — dr_pate @ 4:43 pm

The National Sleep Foundation reports that about 37 percent of adults sleep less than seven hours per night, but the recommended time is seven to nine hours. People who don’t get enough sleep are more likely to experience daytime sleepiness and health problems. This week, March 5-11, is National Sleep Awareness Week, a campaign designed to promote the importance of sleep. Dr. Pate can help you understand the importance of getting adequate sleep at night.

Sleep apnea is the most common sleep disorder, affecting about 18 million Americans. Sleep apnea blocks your airways at night, interrupting your rest.
Insufficient sleep is associated with anxiety, depression, obesity, cardiovascular disease, stroke, and high blood pressure.
Sleeplessness decreases your performance and effectiveness, and increases your risk of accidents and injuries.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that drowsy driving is responsible for 1,500 deaths, 71,000 injuries, and 100,000 car accidents each year.
Staying awake for more than 20 hours straight causes the same reactions and impairment—including blurred vision—as having a blood alcohol concentration level of .08 percent.

It’s Easy Being Green!

Unlike Kermit, we think it's easy being green! (Image from muppet.wikia.com)

At Dentistry in Buckhead, we make it a priority to conserve the environment as we care for our patients’ smiles. Atlanta dentist Dr. Peter Pate and his team want to keep Atlanta beautiful while keeping the smiles of you and your family beautiful as well.

Go Green

To do this, we employ a number of green practices, not only in the way we provide dental care for our patients, but also in our front office. Our green practices include:

Recycling: You’d be amazed at how much waste a dentist office produces. To do our part and help the environment, we abide by a multi-faceted waste and recycling system. First, we recycle anything and everything that is recyclable by taking it to local recycling centers. Second, we use products produced from recycled materials whenever possible, and this includes some of the products used in your dental care. We’ve found that it’s healthier for you and the environment if we use disposable and recyclable dental tools when available. After your appointment, we discard these tools, creating a cleaner, more sanitary environment for you and less non-decomposable waste for the planet.
Chartless: While we’re still in the process of going completely paperless, we are chartless! To maintain this standard, we use an advanced system of digital records and claim filing to reduce paper waste. This system is also more efficient and convenient for you as our patient. With digital files, your records can easily be shared between us and your other medical care providers, as well as with your insurance company for easy filing. (more…)
