Finished - Free Dentistry Day!

Just finished Free Dentistry Day!  17 fillings, 4 psycho extractions, and several cleanings.  We're all happy and tired. 

Day of Free Dentistry!

We've been working on the logistics of setting up a Free Dentistry today for the families that are in need in the Snoqualmie Valley.  We know there are some families in real need who skip on their dental needs due to financial hardships.  We'd like to help out!

The day will be July 27, 2011.  We will be taking requests and recommendations via our office's website contact form http://www.snoqualmiefallsdental.com/Contact-Snoqualmie-Falls-Dental.htm.  We'll be taking the requests and recommendations until July 11th.  At which point we'll go through the various requests and pick those in greatest need until our schedule is full.  Treatments to be performed will be cleanings, fillings and extractions.  One hour maximum per person.  Help spread the word so we can find those in greatest need and help out.  This is one way we feel that we can give back to the community that has supported us since we opened two years ago.

Jelly Bean Contest Winner

We have a winner for our Easter Jelly Bean Contest....Parker J!  He guessed 503 and the total was 504.  Great job of guessing so close!  We are impressed.  Parker also is known around our office for having the best picture on the no cavity club wall.

Big News 2 of 2 - Best Dentist Award!

We recently passed the two year mark for our office (Jan 19th).  We were pleasantly surprised to hear that we won the Best Dentist Award in Snoqualmie Valley!  We have been working hard towards becoming the office that would be worthy of that award, but didn't think it would come so soon.  Thanks to everyone that voted for us.  The award is for the cities of Snoqualmie, North Bend and Fall City.

Big News 1 of 2

 

Things have been pretty crazy (which is a good thing) so we haven't been on top of our updates.  One benefit to this business is that we added another hygienist a couple of months ago...meet Lee.  Many people already know him as he's been working on the ridge for a few years.  We're glad to have him on board.

Hygiene!

Although it has been great getting to know all of my patients very well by doing the cleanings myself, we are getting too big for me to do this for everyone anymore.  For that reason, we've brought on two hygienists over the past couple of months to help out.  First, we added Marilee to work on our Fridays.  She has been great and patients really love her.  Recently we also added Lee to work on Tuesdays.  He brings a lot of experience to our office.  Visit our website to get to know them better or schedule your next cleaning with one of them.  They both love what they do and do it very well.  I'm very happy to have them as part of our team.

New "Refer a Friend" Card

 Just got our "Refer a Friend" cards in from the printer.  We had fun designing these!  Look for them in your care package with every cleaning or feel free to drop in and pick some up.  Enjoy a $20 gift card or credit with each family you refer! 

New Fall Mailer

Watch for the following mailer in your mail in about a week.  We really enjoyed making this mailer!

Winner!

Congrats to Eric M, winner of our drawing at the Railroad Days fair.  He gets the latest, $160 Oral-B electric tooth brush.  If you came by our booth and requested information on becoming a new patient, remember to call and schedule before the two weeks free Fluoride treatment offer expires.

We've Adopted Cascade Elementary

As part of the Washington State Dental Association's program to help under served children, Dr. Calderwood has accepted the invitation to have Snoqualmie Falls Dental adopt Cascade Elementary!  To see more information on the program visit the official webpage of the program, or our site that discusses it.

Snoqualmie Fair

We'll be at the Railroad Days fair this Saturday.  Come by and visit us if you're there!

Laser #2

We have another laser in our office!  This one is a soft tissue laser.  We can now do gingivectomies to give even gums to your smile or reduce the large gums that sometimes grow when you wear braces.  There are several other procedures that can be done with this new laser, some can even be done without any anesthesia!

New office manager

 Our current office manager Sherry is moving back home to Arizona to be closer to family.  We are sad to see her go, but excited to introduce our new office manager, Angela!

My name is Angela and I am the new front office manager at Snoqualmie Falls Dental.  I’m honored to have the opportunity to assist and talk with our patients to help and encourage them to find ways to meet their dental goals.  I offer eight years in the dental field in both general dentistry and orthodontics.  I love being a part of the dental community because I feel especially rewarded when I help create healthy, beautiful smiles.

I am proud to be part of Dr. Calderwood’s team.  He is committed to providing the highest level of patient care comfortably.  All of our patients are so positive and our team enjoys building long-lasting relationships with each and every family.  Watching the transformation of our patient's smiles and self confidence puts a smile on my face.  I am fortunate to be part of a patient-centered dental team.  

Outdoor activities along with my son’s extracurricular activities keep my free time very active.  Being a Seattle local, I enjoy exploring the beautiful Pacific Northwest by foot, mountain and water.  We both love attending sporting events, spending time with friends and family and Emerald City Smoothies…Yum!

Patient of the Month for February {Snoqualmie Patient}

As all late January and February patients know, Dr. C was expecting a baby girl and she came on February 13th. All went well and we are back to a normal schedule (even coming to work well rested since Aspen only wakes up once each night to feed!).

1 Year Anniversary {Snoqualmie Dentist}

On January 19th we had our first anniversary! We can't believe how fast the past year has gone and thank everyone for their support in helping us grow so fast!

New Braces {Snoqualmie Dentist Staff Braces}

Hi. My name is Tanya and I am Dr. Calderwood’s dental assistant. I recently had a consult with Dr. Kirby Nelson about straightening my teeth. He has been seeing my oldest daughter for 6 years and I love the way that their staff takes such good care of her. Last week, after 3 years of treatment, they took off my daughter’s braces. At the same time, they were putting mine on! For me, we went with clear porcelain brackets on the top and metal on the bottom, which you can even hardly see. I get to change the color of my rubber bands every 8 weeks so I let my daughter pick out the first color. She choose red, which is my favorite.

It wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. I was a little sore at first but a little ibuprofen did the trick. I am expecting to have these on for 2 years and can’t wait to have a beautiful smile like my daughter.

I’ve had a few people ask why I didn’t have Dr. Calderwood do Invisalign here at Snoqualmie Falls Dental. Unfortunately because I have several dental implants, I was not a candidate for that type of treatment. Lucky for me though I was able to continue a great relationship with Dr. Nelson and his staff.
