As Door Creek Dental continues to expand its scope of practice, both Dr. Kirkpatrick and Dr. Andersen strive to keep abreast of new techniques emerging in the dental field.

Dr. Andersen recently traveled to the highly regarded Fahl Center in Curitiba, Brazil to further her education on anterior direct bonded restorations.  Many of you may ask, “What are anterior direct bonded restorations?”  Anterior direct bonded restorations are commonly known are “fillings” or “bonding” and are placed on front/anterior teeth.  A restoration or “filling”  may be recommended by the doctors due to decay, missing enamel due to trauma or simply to optimize our patient’s aesthetic needs.

In her recent course work, Dr. Andersen worked with numerous dentists from various parts of the world, all gathering together for the common goal of getting acquainted with recent advancements in aesthetic dentistry.  The Fahl Center in Curitiba specifically trains dentists in cutting-edge cosmetic dentistry techniques.  These techniques help assure that direct bonded restorations are long lasting and look very natural.  While some teeth may still require a veneer or crown to be optimally restored, direct bonded restorations provide a more conservative treatment option.
