Every new piece of technology and each new technique is exciting, but my passion really stems from being able to take care of you. Dentistry has the power to change your health, appearance, and quality of life for the better. This is why it really matters to me that you experience the greatest degree of comfort my team and I can provide throughout your treatment, that we use the 1987-2014 27 YEARS SERVING YOU Summer 2014 highest quality materials, and that you receive the most gentle advanced techniques available. I’m pretty lucky and happy to be here every day and am grateful for your loyalty and friendship. Yours in good dental health, Dr. Dennis Marangos and the Altima Dental Team Meet Dr. Michael Kim… We’d like to introduce Dr. Michael Kim who has recently joined the Altima Dental team. Dr. Kim grew up in Vancouver and moved to Toronto because he welcomes change and enjoys new challenges. Away from dentistry he enjoys time with his ﬁancée and the couple is looking forward to adopting a pug puppy. Dr. Kim’s other interests include socializing – yes, he still has friends even though he’s a terrible wedding singer! He also enjoys sports, working out, going to wine tastings … and cooking. He even looks like Eric Chong from Master Chef, don’t you think? A graduate of the University of Sydney in Australia and a proud member of the Ontario Dental Association, Dr. Kim’s philosophy is a perfect ﬁt for ours – he is focused on dental care rather than dental treatment. This caring attitude is expressed through his warm engaging manner and also through his particular interest in restoring the harmony of your smile. It is important to him that, as his patient, you can talk, eat, and smile with complete conﬁdence. Please join us in welcoming Dr. Kim. He is looking forward to meeting all of you in person!

Crown restorations will give you a GREAT smile! Most of us are aware of strategies for health including a weekly exercise regimen and a healthy diet. But what about techniques for restoring, revitalizing, and even saving your smile? Not so much. Crown restorations, for example, can enhance your appearance … improve your ability to eat and speak … and renew your self-conﬁdence. Here are some FAQs about crown restorations: What is a crown? A restorative crown can be a protective cover or cap for your tooth, or it can be attached to an implanted root to replace a missing tooth. Can my smile really become as good as new? Yes, even better actually. Today’s crowns are strong and long-lasting like your natural enamel and they can be precisely matched to the translucence, color, and contours of your other teeth. How do I know if a crown would work for me? A protective crown is an excellent choice for poorly shaped and discolored teeth, cracked or unstable teeth, damaged and aging restorations, or teeth that have weakened from root canal treatment. before after Any more questions?
