Knowledge is Power

The dentists of TLC Family Dentistry pursue further education to provide the most up-to-date dental care.

LEXINGTON, KY—The cosmetic dentistry industry has witnessed a significant growth over the last five years, as more patients have opted for treatments to aesthetically improve their smiles. Furthermore, with the growing elderly population the industry has also seen an increase in age-related tooth ailments, which only boosts the need for dental bonding, crowns and other cosmetic dental treatments. TLC Family Dentistry in Lexington, KY, realized that this increase in cosmetic demand meant receiving thorough continuing education in order to provide patients with the advanced procedures they have come to expect.

All three dentists at TLC Family Dentistry—Dr. John A. Thompson, Dr. William E. Lee and Dr. Pada Chalothorn—have been actively pursuing advanced training through the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD) to provide patients with state-of-the-art and modern dental care. Both Dr. Lee and Dr. Chalothorn have received certifications in Biolase Dental Laser, a revolutionary way to prepare teeth without the use of a drill or anesthesia. With about 4 percent of the population diagnosed as “dental phobics”, TLC Dentistry wanted to offer a way to remove decay and prepare teeth for dental crowns and bridges without the use of a drill or local anesthetic. Using specific wavelengths, water and airspray, the Biolase laser shapes and forms the tooth with no contact.

The dentists of TLC Family dentistry have even received advanced training in CAD/CAM restoration, to provide same-day dental crowns (CEREC crowns). Dr. Chalothorn is also certified in Invisalign, so he can provide patients with a clear and subtler alternative for straightening their smiles. These clear, removable aligners have become a popular option for patients wanting straighter smiles without wearing traditional metal braces. TLC Family Dentistry is proud to now offer Invisalign.

Through AACD, TLC Family Dentistry can offer a comprehensive and superior list of dental services, from teeth whitening and dental implants to dentures and CEREC crowns.
