Dentistry Uncensored with Howard Farran

Dr. Jeff Sindelar and Dr. Matt Kraner are practicing dentists in St. Louis, MO and co-founders of Smile-Advantage, an organization created to provide services to help dentists and their office managers to successfully implement an in-office savings plan legally and without any forms of fee splitting. In a time when dental insurance regulations are on the rise and reimbursements are drastically decreasing, dentists need to consider positioning their Practices in a way to remain successful amidst all the change and to serve a growing demographic of seniors and the employed without benefits. We are proud of the dentists that have joined with us to open their doors to these patients that find themselves frustrated with the confu-sion and constraints of dental insurance and yet are still in need of high quality, affordable dental care.

Serving Chandler, AZ and surrounding areas. Follow us for special Twitter discounts & deals, dental news and tips! Dr. Jared Pope. It is always easier to talk to someone when you know and trust them. I'd like to tell you a little bit more about myself so we can start out our relationship better. I'm hoping that by having a trusting relationship, you will feel open and be able to share your concerns with me, so that I will be able to take better care of your teeth. I grew up in Sandy, Utah. My father and grandfather are dentist and my mother is a dental hygienist so I've spent lots of time at the dentist's office! Their examples have definitely played a big part in my becoming a dentist. I live in Chandler with my wonderful wife Lynda, and our two daughters, Eden who is 13, and Maiya who is 10. I love to spend time with my family. We enjoy the outdoors. We are avid hikers, mountain bikers, and skiers. You can often find us out on the sand dunes, or hiking the Grand Canyon. After completing a successful service mission in Berlin Germany for the LDS church, I attended the University of Utah and Salt Lake Community College, where I pursued a degree in Biology and a minor in German. I then attended Marquette University where I received my Doctorate of Dental Surgery in 2002. While in dental school, I excelled quickly and was able to graduate early and attend many additional classes taught by experts in the field of advanced orthodontics and TMD (a jaw disorder). During my summer breaks from dental school, I was privileged to spend time volunteering in various dental clinics doing dental work and greatly expanding my experience in the field. Since graduating, I continue to take 20 – 30 hours of continuing education classes every year to be able to stay abreast of advances in technology. These classes have included topics such as implants, sedation, cosmetics, and other advancements in materials, procedures, and equipment. I have been practicing dentistry for over 10 years. I am fortunate to say that we have 3 offices now, two in Scottsdale and one in Chandler. My professional passion is to be able to conquer a person's fear of going to the dentist. I believe that once a person can go to the dentist and have a good experience, their oral health will be improved for the rest of their life. It just takes one visit, and you like many others, will see that a visit to the dentist isn't as bad as they thought, in fact it may even be enjoyable!

Dr. Gerald A. Niznick was the founder and President of Core-Vent Bio-Engineering and Paragon Dental Implant Company (1982 - 2001) which he sold to Zimmer Dental. The Screw-Vent internal hex implant that he invented in 1986 is still the backbone of Zimmer's dental implant system 25 years later. Barron's Magazine Article on Dental Implant Industry Feb. 15, 2005 referred to Dr. Niznick as "a prosthodontist and entrepreneur who is considered by many as the godfather of American implant dentistry." He started designing and manufacturing a new line of products in 2004 that were launched in October 2006 through Implant Direct International. In just four years, Implant Direct had a significant global presence in the implant industry with 300 employees, sales offices in the US, Canada, Switzerland and Israel, and with distributors in 30 other countries. Dr. Niznick's product and marketing strategy of selling high quality, innovative products with All-in-1 Packaging at about 1/3rd the price of the major implant companies captured about 4% of the global market, doubling the sales volume that Core-Vent/Paragon achieved after 20 years. Through Dr. Niznick's implementation of the industry's only lights-out 24/7 manufacturing and effective use of the internet for technical support and online ordering, he created a price-point shift in the industry, making implant dentistry more affordable for dentists and their patients. In December 2010, Sybron Dental Solutions, a division of Danaher, a 15 billion dollar conglomerate, acquired 75% interest in Implant Direct International, leaving Dr. Niznick the president of a joint venture that also included Sybron's Attachments International and Sybron Implant Solutions business assets. Dr. Niznick graduated from the University of Manitoba Dental School in 1966 and then earned a Masters degree in Prosthodontics at Indiana University in 1968. Throughout the 1980's and 90's he personally trained over 10,000 dentists worldwide on the placement and restoration of dental implants using lectures and live surgical demonstrations. In the 29-year span between Core-Vent (1982) and Implant Direct (2010), Dr Niznick has had 35 dental implant US patents issued to him including the internal connection patent that has become the cornerstone of modern implant design. His newer patents include ones for micro-threads, double-tri-lobe connections, a 1-Piece with multi-unit abutment platforms, a healing collar retained by the cover-screw and several pending patents include the GoDirect 1-Piece implants and GPS™ abutment system, both compatible with Zest Anchor Company's LOCATOR® Attachment. Dr. Niznick's significant contributions to the dental implant field have been recognized by academic institutions and dental implant organizations. He has received Honorary Doctorate degrees from the University of Manitoba and from Tel Aviv University, as well as the prestigious Isaah Lew Research award from the American Academy of Implant Dentistry. He was also awarded Alpha Omega Dental Fraternity's highest award, the Achievement Medal, in 2007. The United States Department of Veterans Affairs issued a Commendation to Dr. Niznick for conceiving and funding the largest dental implant study worldwide at 32 VA centers that included 900 patients receiving over 2800 of Dr. Niznick's implants. Special issues of the Journal of Periodontology and the Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery were dedicated to publishing the results of this monumental prospective, multi-center clinical study, which added significantly to dental implant knowledge. www.ImplantDirect.com
