How does the doctor keep up-to-date on all of the current
techniques and procedures?
 Dr. Twohig accumulated more than 200 hours of continuing
education last year, including classes in Smile Design, Full
Mouth Reconstruction, TMJ Therapy, Photography and All-Porcelain
Computerized Restorations.
He is a charter member in both the Greater Green Bay Pankey
Study Club and Greater Green Bay Seattle Study Club. Both
of these clubs are dedicated to training young dentists in
comprehensive patient treatment.
He also is involved with internet study groups that specialize
in cosmetic, laser and computerized dentistry. He encourages
all members of the staff to take continuing education classes,
too. As a team and as individuals, our office makes it our
responsibility to be familiar with the latest techniques
and materials.

Can you show me what my smile can look like ahead of time
with imaging software?
We routinely use dental imaging to help our patients visualize
the end results of cosmetic and restorative work. By simply
asking the right questions, taking various photos of your
current smile, and keying the correct information into the
computer, we can generate a graphic image to demonstrate
accurately how your procedure will affect your smile.

Do you accept referrals?
We are happy to accept referrals from other dental offices
as well as from recommendations by our patients to their
family and friends. Your referrals are our best compliments!

Do you accept my insurance plan?
 We accept many plans, however, we do not participate in
some of them because of their restrictions. The insurance
industry sometimes makes it difficult for us to maintain
our excellence while participating as a provider. Our philosophy
does not allow the insurance industry to dictate the quality
of care and level of service we provide to our patients.
In fact, we are proud to be setting standards of excellence
in dentistry. We will assist you in the insurance filing
process.

I have a temporary crown in my mouth. What happens if it
comes off or breaks?
If it is in one piece, try to fit it back over your tooth.
Keep in mind that a crown is like a puzzle piece and will
only go in one way. If it doesn’t slip easily into
place, do not force it. If you can get it to sit back onto
(or into) the tooth, you can apply Fixodent to the inside
of the crown, then gently put the crown back onto (or into)
the tooth, apply slight pressure until it feels secure, gently
close your teeth together and then clean off the excess Fixodent
with a wet finger. A thick mixture of Vaseline and talcum
powder will also work if you don’t have Fixodent handy.
Either of these will hold your temporary crown in place for
a short time if you can’t come into the office right
away. Be very careful when you are eating since the temporary
can dislodge again. Try to eat on the other side of your
mouth (good advice whenever you have a temporary crown in
place)!

What different payment options do you provide?
Patients can pay by cash, check and all major credit cards,
including Visa and MasterCard. We also have two dental patient
financing programs to help patients extend payments when
necessary. Capital
One Healthcare Finance and CareCredit are
terrific companies that we work with to be sure that you
get the dental care that you want and need. Utilizing these
financing programs makes major dental work even more affordable
and appropriate for you.

How can I safely whiten my teeth?
 There are a number of procedures available to help whiten
your smile, from at-home whitening products to in-office
supervised treatments. Dr. Twohig can help evaluate the potential
for whitening your teeth based on their current color and
the causes of any discoloration. Once you have decided on
the most appropriate method, you will probably spend anywhere
from two to four weeks undergoing a series of simple whitening
treatments.

Do you suffer from migraines/headaches/neck or shoulder
pain?
Have frequent sinus infections? Have sore teeth or jaw aches?
Would you like a non-chemical way to relieve your discomfort?
Dr. Twohig can provide you with NITE Tension Suppression
System, a custom-fitted nightguard designed to stop clenching
and grinding. The NTI device is small and comfortable…not
like one of those football player nightguards! Visit www.nti-tss.com
for more information about this innovative product.

What makes you different from any other dental practice
I can visit?
When you become a patient of our practice, we think of you
as a whole person, not as just another set of teeth to fix
and clean. We want to help you obtain and then maintain the
best possible dental health, which enhances your overall
health. We’ll sit down and talk with you to obtain
a complete dental history, answer your questions, address
your concerns, and evaluate the best options for your individual
dental needs. Plus, we’ll help you understand preventive
care through a comprehensive patient education program.

How can I ask Dr. Twohig questions directly?
We encourage our patients to have open, direct communication
with Dr. Twohig. He is available daily to answer your questions
either via e-mail or voice mail. Depending on office traffic
and the complexity of your questions, he’ll try to
respond within 24 hours. :: top |
