Dr. Pannu volunteers in AACD’s Give Back A Smile™ Program for Domestic Violence Survivors

Domestic violence fosters feelings of…sadness, self consciousness, worthlessness, and embarrassment. These feelings are the reason volunteer dentists and their patients are banding together to be the voice of this silent epidemic.

The American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry Charitable Foundation’s (AACDCF) primary program, Give Back A Smile (GBAS), provides cosmetic dental care to survivors of domestic violence through a nationwide network of dental professionals. With the support of Discus Dental and Ultradent Products, Inc., the AACDCF has established a program to help raise funds for the Foundation by having volunteers provide whitening treatments to their patients in exchange for donations to this worthy cause. The Pannu Dental Clinics is a GBAS Whitening Program provider in the Bay Area and is participating in the GBAS Whitening Program Challenge that runs from March 1 – March 30, 2010.

“The GBAS Whitening Program Challenge benefits everyone. Not only will patients in our area have whiter and brighter smiles, but whitening treatments performed at my office will generate increased resources to allow the AACDCF to help more domestic violence survivors,” says Dr. Pannu.

Domestic violence affects one in four women. This silent epidemic is cross-cultural, income defiant, and gender blind. It can happen to your mother, sister, brother, daughter, cousin, and/or neighbor. Domestic violence occurs right here in the Bay Area. Join Pannu Dental Clinic in fighting back.

Run Dalvir, RUN!!!

It was a beautiful morning that Sunday and I remember getting up earlier than usual to get to Campbell on time. I have been looking forward to this event for months now. The Jungle Run Half Marathon consists of a 13.1-mile run/walk that starts and finishes in Los Gatos at the Los Gatos High School Track. The course extends North through the streets of Los Gatos and onto the scenic Los Gatos Creek Trail at the Los Gatos Creek County Park in Campbell. The athletes have always enjoyed the creek-side views on their way back into Los Gatos and into breathtaking Vasona Park. After a small loop around Vasona Lake, we continued South on the Los Gatos Creek Trail into Old Town Los Gatos. From there, it’s a short out and back on the unpaved portion of the trail. The turn around takes place before the Dam (and the hills!). Runners then retrace their steps back to the finish line festivities on the Los Gatos High School track. I ran 13.1 miles and finished at 2:31:03. What a great day that was! WOOOOOHOOOOO!!!

 

William Shatner, Sarah Palin & Dr. Dalvir Pannu

I was watching The Late Night show with Conan O’Brien the other night and was immensely entertained with William Shatner’s poetic take-off on Sarah Palin’s speech. I had been an avid follower of “Captain Kirk’s” voyages since I was a kid and have a great admiration for this guy who was able to evolve as an actor through the years. And although Shatner’s career hasn’t always been that hot & suffered typecasting badly after Star Trek and his one attempt at a TV Cop series, he really reinvented himself with Boston Legal. So naturally, being interviewed by his team at the “Heartbeat of America” show was not just a pleasure but an honor as well. The experience was so surreal that I felt I had gone where no man had gone before! Check out the video clips below;

Dental Implant Treatments: To travel or not to travel?

Dental Implant

Mrs. P from Fremont, California

“Hello Dr. Pannu! Is there a website where I can get more info on implants? Also, does Delta cover this treatment? How expensive is an implant treatment? I have heard in the past that implants are so expensive that some people opt to go to India to acquire such treatment. I think some doctors there have devised a “Dental Tourism Program” which incorporates implants, whitening and cosmetic dentistry treatments while giving patients the ability to enjoy their trip and do lots of shopping and sight seeing and then come back with a beautiful smile and save a fortune. Is this true? Can you enlighten me more about this concern? Thanks for any help or suggestion.”

Dr. Pannu Says – 

“You can get complete information about dental implants here:

• http://punjabidentist.com/category/implant/
• http://www.pannudental.com/cosmetic-dentistry-fremont-ca/dental-implants-anchored-dentures.aspx

These sites include actual patient case reports representing different scenarios.”

“Dental implants are covered quite frequently these days by insurance companies if preauthorized appropriately. If not, there are no-interest-long-term payment plans available. The best method to replace the missing teeth is to get dental implants because they are a lot easier on the adjacent natural teeth as opposed to attaching a bridge. Also they provide much more stability and retention in fully edentulous (denture) cases.”

“Yes, lots of people go to India, Mexico, Russia and other countries to get such procedures done for a lesser cost. Just make sure to have plenty of time on hand during such trip, as you don’t want a rush-job on permanent procedures like these. You also have to take into consideration that there is healing time involved which may affect the overall experience and quality of your trip. It is also extremely beneficial and necessary to coordinate the treatment plan between the doctor treating you in a foreign country and your family dentist in the USA, as such major procedures would require meticulous post-operative follow-up and maintenance.”

Invisalign Attachments hidden for a model

Some celebrities, models and famous people like Jessa Lynne, our patient above, are usually hesitant to get cosmetic dental treatments because of the fact that braces and some Invisalign procedures do not mix well with being in front of the camera and facing a lot of people. Pannu Dental Services offer Lingual (inside) attachments that are concealed and are constructed in such a way that the brackets are strategically placed inside. The Invisalign treatment alone is already undetectable. Invisalign with Lingual attachments are even more indistinguishable which makes it the best option for famous personalities so they can confidently flash their best smile on and off cam at all times.

Natural Looking Result of an Extreme Smile Makeover

 

Smile with Style

“I had some previous work done by another dentist and I was extremely disappointed with the quality of the work.  I had two teeth missing on the bottom, and my gums and teeth were poorly aligned.
In Sept. of 2007, Dr. Pannu invited me to his office to see what he could do.  It was a great decision to take up his offer.  I had reservations about anyone working on my teeth again, as my previous Dr. left me a little skeptical, but Dr. Pannu’s knowledge and professionalism reassured me that I was in the right place.
He had to fill all 6 front teeth and redo the veneer on the top, do two implants on the bottom, and invisialign the bottom teeth.  He even re-sculptured my gums to make sure the teeth were aligned perfectly…and they are now!
The veneer work was excellent and it looks perfect now!  Well, the implants are done, the veneers are done, I have only 3 months left on my invisalign, and I couldn’t be happier.  I highly recommend Dr. Pannu and his staff for their knowledge, professionalism, and courtesy.The office is super clean and staff is so friendly , thank you very much .” NTP

Pammi Bai is a famous singer/dancer/personality from Punjab, India. He is best known for his signature smile and promotion of traditional punjabi folk music, dance and vibrant dress. Pammi Bai is the one punjabi singers who has stuck to his roots and not caved in to the pressures of the ever westernising punjabi music industry. An outstanding folk dancer, Pammi turned a professional artiste.

We were honored to add icing on the cake by brightening Bai Ji’s signature smile with our in-office laser teeth whitening system.The translucent bleaching gel is applied to the teeth and a laser light is used to activate the crystals to absorb the energy from the light and penetrate the teeth enamel to increase the lightening effect on the teeth.It took about an hour to achieve the desired shade result in Bai Ji’s case. Thanks a lot Bai Ji and Wish you all the best for you future endevors..
