Welcome to smileblog, my new blog.
Welcome to
smileblog, my new blog.
In the friendly and comfortable office of the Dr. Shannon Dental Clinic (
www.dr-shannon.com), my staff and I provide general dentistry and restorative and cosmetic services to clients. We’ve been in practice in the heart of downtown Vancouver since 1987, making people feel good about themselves by giving them not just dazzling smiles but great oral health care, too.
On this blog, I intend to let you know as much about what’s going on in dentistry as I can – not just the latest things taking place in my own office, but in the field of dentistry overall. Only by being informed can clients receive the treatment that is right for them.
So I plan to post about a variety of topics. I may give my views on the latest dental products or services, such as implants and what role they may have in dentistry down the road. I won’t pull my punches if I don’t think something new on the market is good for clients. Or, I may share things I learned at a trade show I may have attended. I lecture a lot around the world and I’ll let you know when and where I’m doing that, and what I’ll be talking about. You can be sure I’ll give you information from these lectures.
The clinic is not run exclusively by me. I am lucky to have a team of dedicated and caring professionals who help me and my patients out. I want you to get to know them, too. So, from time to time, they will introduce themselves to you and describe what they do. That way, the next time you come into the clinic, you’ll know more about everyone you meet here.
The clinic also strives to be an active and responsible member of its community (see
http://www.dr-shannon.com/social-responsibility), so from time to time I might discuss some of the clinic’s work around giving back, being socially responsible and being environmentally conscious.
At the end of the blog there is an opportunity for you to comment or ask questions. I’ll do my best to answer them. And please feel free to suggest a topic you might want me to take on.
So sit back, relax and read on. It won’t hurt a bit!
