Category: LANAP – Laser Surgery for Gum DiseaseIt’s fascinating to see the kinds of studies that are being done by different universities and drug companies, because sometimes you get a rather unexpected result. In this case, researchers at the University of Michigan found that a drug made by Eli Lily, Forteo (generic name teriparatide) seems to actually help regenerate bone in jaws […]
Can Gum Surgery Work and Actually Be Comfortable? Well, to answer that question, let me tell you about a recent patient who found us online through my website devoted to LANAP, aka Laser Periodontal TherapyTM, which is www.LaserDentistCharlotte.com. Remarkably, he drove over 4 hours to see us from just north of Myrtle Beach, SC because […]
Well, it’s been almost 2 whole days for Smiles by Payet Dentistry here at the SWS, and it’s been a blast. Admittedly, as a happily married guy, I’ve probably not enjoyed it as much as the women or as if I were single , but it’s been a blast as an exhibitor for the first […]
Having practiced dentistry now for 12 years, I’ve seen a lot of different stuff, tried different technologies, different techniques, etc. Most of it works pretty well, some of it we discard and look for something new or better, and occasionally we scrap the new and return to the tried-and-true techniques and methods that have been […]
I just got off the phone with one of our patients from yesterday for whom we had done LANAP, also known as Laser Periodontal TherapyTM, as I wanted to check and see how she is doing today. And even though I have heard the same exact story practically every single time, I still find it […]
As we’ve been telling so many of our patients in recent months, we are moving to a new office around the middle of May 2010, and we’re REALLY excited about this! For a number of reasons, our new office is going to make it so much easier for us to see even more patients, faster, […]
USE IT OR LOSE IT! Your Dental Insurance, that is. Did you know that, when your dental insurance year runs out, you LOSE whatever benefits you have left? Unlike phone minutes, there’s no “roll-over” for your insurance, so once they’re gone, they’re GONE. We are rapidly approaching the end of 2009, and our schedule is already […]
It’s easy for me to tell you that Laser Periodontal TherapyTM is both effective and comfortable, but we both know that it’s easier to believe when you talk to someone who has actually been through it. So, right after we finished up treating a really sweet patient yesterday, we asked her if she wouldn’t mind […]
Earlier this year, I had the pleasure of recording a short interview with the Founder and President (and one of my patients) of the Wellness Coalition of America, Ms. Terrie Reeves, for her weekly segment on TVNews 14 (every Sunday) called “Train for Life.” Each week, Terrie interviews people in different areas of life, all […]
“Dr. Payet is an amazingly gifted dentist. I liked my smile before but was amazed at the difference the veneers made. His attention to detail and “chair side manner” made me comfortable during the entire process. He genuinely cares and goes to great lengths to ensure you are happy and 100% satisfied. I highly recommend Dr. Payet to anyone looking for a great Charlotte dentist!”
