Sedation Dentist in Baltimore Provides Patients With One-Visit Smiles

Dr. K. Michael Murphy, Baltimore sedation dentist, improves patients' smiles in as little as one dental visit.

2013-04-11

BALTIMORE, MD, April 11, 2013 (Press-News.org) In the past, restoring teeth required several dental visits. Today, Dr. K. Michael Murphy, sedation dentist in Baltimore, now makes achieving a beautiful, new smile possible in just one day. Advances in implant technology and new protocols developed by experienced oral surgeons and prosthodontists allow less invasive surgery without bone grafts that results in the ability to replace failing or missing teeth with customized, hand-crafted replacements immediately.

Bone grafts require a delay of many months before a patient can be fitted with and receive replacement teeth with dental implants in Baltimore. Those patients would have to endure ill-fitting, temporary dentures or remain toothless during this period.

"It is important that I provide my patients with superior dental health care, and that means maintaining the ability to restore their smiles without the long wait. When you are missing a tooth, or multiple teeth, it can be embarrassing and waiting several weeks or months can take a toll on your self-esteem. I am happy to offer my patients the chance to regain their confidence through dental implants in one visit," said Dr. K. Michael Murphy, Baltimore sedation dentist.

Most patients are qualified to arrive for surgery, have their implants placed, and their replacement teeth fitted in just one day. Of course there are a few dental and medical conditions that may make this difficult, which is why Dr. Murphy, dentist in Baltimore, will discuss with each patient their individual case thoroughly.

Dr. K. Michael Murphy is pleased to be among only a few dentists in Baltimore, MD offering immediate function procedures for replacing missing teeth. With this procedure, a 3D CAT Scan is used with virtual planning software to plan the dental implant placement and to facilitate the design and fabrication of the final replacement teeth. All of this is completed after an initial consultation with the patient and before the scheduled implant placement.

This procedure is an immediate function protocol that is attractive to people with dentures or in need of full upper and/or lower restorations. After the initial work-up, qualified patients receive anywhere from four to eight implants and a full set of new replacement teeth in just one appointment. The real appeal for patients is how quickly Baltimore dentures can then be placed with permanent implants and fixed, non-removable, new replacement teeth.

The interplay of Medicare/Medicaid liens and personal injury settlements

2013-04-11

Most people have never heard of a Medicare or Medicaid lien. They have no idea what the term even means. For the layperson, a Medicare/Medicaid lien is one that is issued by the government for repayment of expenses paid for medical care of a plaintiff in a personal injury lawsuit (or anyone involved in a claim negotiation with a third party insurer). Under federal law, if Medicare or Medicaid has paid for medical care for an eligible patient and that patient later settles a related personal injury lawsuit, Medicare or Medicaid must be paid back. Similar statutes and case ...
