SARASOTA, Fla., July 15, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Prestige Dental is working to ease patients' anxiety and increase their confidence when visiting the dentist. The practice launched a new website, http://www.prestigedentalsarasota.com/. The site features information on common dental procedures, ranging from cosmetic surgery to periodontics care. By better understanding treatment options, dentist Dr. Peter Rubenstein hopes that patients will feel more comfortable with their dental care. Patients visiting the website can learn about general and family dentistry, cosmetic dentistry, Invisalign correction, and periodontics care.
Sarasota dental patients have a new online resource for learning more about dental care procedures, including Invisalign and cosmetic dentistry. According to Dr. Rubenstein, his new website is designed to educate patients about dental procedures and ease anxiety associated with a visit to the dentist.
"Many dental patients experience some level of anxiety prior to visiting the dentist," said Dr. Rubenstein. "Because of this anxiety, they put off important preventive care visits, delaying treatment until a serious oral health problem develops. Our new website is designed to provide thorough information to help ease these fears."
The website features comprehensive patient education resources, including 3D dental videos and information on different dental procedures.
"By researching and understanding treatment options in advance, patients can feel comfortable and confident with each procedure," said Dr. Rubenstein. "Our goal is complete transparency in every step of the process."
Dr. Rubenstein recommends that patients start by exploring the 3D dental video library. These videos help explain the tooth decay process and how brushing and flossing can help prevent oral health problems. The videos also walk patients through different orthodontic problems, explaining how dental procedures can help correct teeth spacing or bite problems.
Patients can also learn more about dental care by reading the different articles on the website. Article topics include dental concerns that are unique to women, how to relieve toothache pain, and tips for caring for sensitive teeth.
"Many patients are surprised how much can be accomplished through at-home care when addressing many dental problems," said Dr. Rubenstein. "Regular brushing and flossing, together with a dental cleaning every six months, can help prevent many of the oral health problems that affect adults. Our hope is that our website content will empower patients to take control of their oral health. A professional cleaning is always easy and more pleasant experience than periodontics work."
Dr. Rubenstein has advanced training in several dental procedures, including root canals, bridges, cosmetic and dentures. He is also Invisalign certified.
The Sarasota practice serves the communities of Venice and Osprey. Patients may use the online appointment form to schedule a visit.
