Summer is here and with it will come some changes at your dental office. Our primary goal is to offer excellent oral care to keep your family’s teeth healthy.  In striving to maintain that goal, we have recruited Dr. Andre Rossini, who will begin working with us starting in July 2014.  Dr. Rossini grew up in Brazil and received his first Doctor of Dental Surgery Degree at the capital of Paraguay where he practiced dentistry for 3 years.

Recently, Dr. Rossini earned a Master of Arts in teaching from UNL and went on to earn his second Doctorate of Dental Surgery from the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Lincoln. While at the College of Dentistry he excelled at crowns and bridges, where he enjoyed casting them himself for better quality.

Dr. Rossini is fluent in English, Spanish, and Portuguese and is a member of the American and Nebraska Dental Associations. Dr. Rossini has lived here in Lincoln for 10 years with his wife Laura. They are excited to announce the birth of their new baby daughter Nina.

The addition of Dr. Rossini will also allow us to expand our hours of operation!  The expanded hours will include 2 evening (Monday and Thursday) and some Saturday morning hours for the convenience of our patients and their families.  Please join us as we welcome Dr. Rosinni to Williamsburg Dental LLC.

Have a great summer!

Today Dr. Addison Killeen finished the clinic down in Hinche, Haiti. In the last 7 days they have seen 1082 patients, pulled 1845 bad teeth, and did 52 fillings.

Over the past 7 days the group completed $437,368 in services in-kind to the poorest of the poor in Haiti.

Here’s a beautiful picture of the countryside.

For the past 5 years, a group of dentists and doctors from Lincoln has gone to Haiti and worked at a mission near Hinche, Haiti. This year Dr. Addison Killeen has gone down for a 6th time.

Below are a few pictures from his trip.

Here’s a boy with his homemade toy.

So far through two days they have seen 287 patients. Check back for more updates!

Sometime people come to us and say, “I want straight teeth but I don’t think the clear tray system is for me.” Well, lets start going through some of the myths- because it can fix almost anything!

• Am I too young/old for straightening teeth? If you’ve got all your permanent teeth- we can surely help you. Sometimes that’s as early as 10 years old. But don’t think this is only for kids- Our oldest patient is 72!
• People can still see the trays? Nope. I tell people only 5 people will know you’re getting Invisalign. Your Wife/Husband, kids, and closest friends, will be the only ones who will be able to see the trays. Once they go on the teeth, they blend in and become perfectly clear.

• Will I talk funny? Yes – you will talk like Sylvester the Cat. Just kidding! Normally patients do have to get used to the trays for about 2-3 days. This process is quick one, as our tongue’s ability to learn new topography is amazing. So basically after the first couple days, you could speak in public and have no worries. A few famous patients have worn them while speaking/singing including Justin Bieber and a audio-book reader.
• It probably costs more than metal braces? Nope. Usually at our practice it costs the same or cheaper than at other offices. Why does it cost less? Basically because we love to do it! For us, it’s all work done digitally, and it’s quite fun to plan exactly where the teeth will go.
• Does it take longer than metal braces? Nope. Because we plan exactly how the teeth will come together and how to move each of them, it takes a shorter amount of time. Also, we can make multiple kinds of movements at a time, which also shortens treatment.

Overall, Invisalign is a system that all of the Doctors here love to use. Give us a call today and we can do a free consultation to see if Invisalign is the way to give you a great smile!
