A gentle smile is an unforgettable smile, a magnificent flash of charm that lingers in memory. It's an added pleasure to find a gentle smile where you least expect one. In a dental office, for example.

True, building soft, friendly smiles is a passion you'd expect of any dentist. But how passionate is that dentist about the comfort, the warmth, and the easy of the experience? Will creating your beautiful work of art be quick and gentle - or as labored and uncertain as an unfinished symphony?

Thousands of your neighbors already know the answer to that. They've discovered Dr. Thomas N. Ryan, an extraordinarily gifted dentist who plans for your comfort and respects your time - even as is works to shame a timeless smile.

You'll be pleasantly surprised when you discover what comfort really means at Thomas N. Ryan, DDS.

Stereo ear phones to help you relax. Nitrous oxide, and both oral and I.V. sedation to calm you. A teddy bear to hug. And, perhaps most important to all, local anesthesia that's restful and very gently administered.

What is the greatest comfort? The fact that the moment you visit our office, you become a "Preferred Patient." You'll be treated like the Very Important Person you are!

Comfortable care also means doing the work right - for the first time.

With solid experience - and a deep commitment to continuing education - Dr. Ryan is skilled in the art and science of dentistry. So whether you've come for a simple cavity check or need quality reconstruction work, you'll benefit from the most advanced of procedures, each masterfully applied.

We work hard to preserve our patients' winning smiles. That includes detailed checks for gum disease (the leading cause of teeth loss), cavities, and other problems that can lead to the collapse of a healthy mouth.

But when it comes time to renew a fading smile, our goal is to make all dental work look as natural as possible. We use the very latest ceramics, resin materials, and porcelains. If you need crowns, bridges, inlays, amalgams, anterior composites, dentures, and partials, you'll be happy to discover these new materials not only look better - they also last longer, seal better, and actually strengthen your teeth. So you'll spend less on replacements in the years to come.

Plus, with these new materials, less tooth is removed, which means a shorter office visit.

Perhaps you've been trying to hide imperfect teeth behind a tight smile. If so, now is a good time for a private cosmetic consultation.

We'll show you how whitening, bonding, or veneers can make your smile magnificent again. Our convenient and affordable tooth-whitening programs will help return your teeth to their natural whiteness.

To correct crooked or dull teeth, we also offer special values on cosmetic bonding, and more permanent porcelain veneers.

Both procedures build on the natural tooth base without harming teeth. These ulta-thin, yet ultra-tough cosmetic advances are really a great improvement over previous laminates.

No heavy drilling or grinding is required when Dr. Ryan performs these procedures, and your treatment is done quickly and comfortably. Gaps and cracks disappear as your new smile takes shape.

When it comes to healthy teeth, a little vigilance goes a long way. Gum disease is the leading cause of tooth loss, but it's easily detected and treated. The key is regular checkups, and either laser or nonsurgical gum care, if necessary. The benefit: keeping a full set of teeth for a lifetime.

If you rely on dentures or are missing any teeth, you'll want to consider convenient dental implants. You'll feel more secure with these permanent, natural-looking tooth implants. No more timid smiles!

Beyond all of our advanced procedures and convenient extras, you can count on us for the basis services you expect. Cleaning, polishing, and flouride sealants help keep your teeth healthy. And we're skilled in natural-looking and gold fillings, extractions, and root canals.

We work hard for your trust. Part of that responsibility is a total commitment to your health and safety, including our advanced infection control sterilization system.

We pay meticulous attention to cleanliness, and are always evaluating and updating our procedures. All of our dental instruments and equipment undergo the exact sterilization process used in major hospitals, and many instruments are discarded immediately after use. We regard this as an extremely important part of your care.

Behind our advanced care, you'll find an old-fashioned notion. One that we would never imagine trading in for some newer model - the simple idea that "the patient is always right."

We judge the success of an appointment by how good you feel about the experience. With everything we do, we ask the question, "Will it make you feel satisfied?"

Your smile is precious to us. It tells the whole world you're happy and healthy. It makes us feel proud, too, knowing we're taking good care of you.

Because we're doing so much to make dental care comfortable and convenient, a magnificent smile has truly never come easier. We invite you to call us soon for a special welcome appointment. We'll do just about anything to make you smile - and to make your smile memorable!
