Those who have lost all of their teeth or are soon to have their last, failing teeth removed have several options for tooth replacement. One of the most advanced and reliable techniques are to permanently attach lifelike prosthetic (new replacement) teeth to dental implants that are anchored in the jawbone. Implant-supported teeth look and function just like real teeth, and are maintained with the same oral hygiene practices, such as brushing and flossing. They provide important health … [Read more...] about Advancing Teeth Replacement with All-in-Four Dentures

Finding the Philosophy of Life in Country Songs
Since moving to Doney Park and acquiring a horse and two (very funny) goats, I’ve been listening to a lot of country music … the real stuff. Early this morning, while feeding the hooved ones, it occurred to me that it might be fun to express some of my philosophy of life through country songs. So, here’s my philosophy of life playlist (or mix-tape if you’re my age). First up is “Old Dogs, Children, and Watermelon Wine,” a Tom T. Hall favorite (who, coincidentally, also performed “I Like … [Read more...] about Finding the Philosophy of Life in Country Songs
Choosing a Rehabilitation Center
Making the decision to have elective surgery is often a difficult one. It is normal to want to return home immediately following surgery. Sometimes, however, healing takes longer than expected. Some individuals may need to receive care and rehabilitative services from a skilled nursing facility. I recently had the privilege of interviewing several patients who had this experience. Many said, “At first, I felt I was being sent to a nursing home.” Dispelling this myth is essential for full … [Read more...] about Choosing a Rehabilitation Center
Is It Possible the IRS Owes You Money?
Summer is almost over and our 2015 taxes, if the individual has not filed for an extension, have already been filed. Taxes are not even a thought… until you receive a letter from the Internal Revenue Service. Generally, this is the time of year when individuals begin to receive letters if their tax return is in question. The letters typically question items on your tax return from two-plus years ago. Unfortunately, the amount due is not just the tax owed, but also the penalties and interest that … [Read more...] about Is It Possible the IRS Owes You Money?
Studying Real Estate Market Trends
What is driving the real estate market right now? More than halfway through 2016, we have a good handle on what is driving our market now and what will likely remain throughout the rest of the year. Inventory remains slightly low compared to previous years. This is typical for Flagstaff in the winter months, but we usually enjoy a few more properties to choose from this time of the year. Inventory could be low for a variety of reasons; homeowners could still not be seeing enough equity in … [Read more...] about Studying Real Estate Market Trends

How Do You Know It’s Time to Quit?
This month, I am touching on knowing when is it time to shut down the business, part ways with an employee (or partner) or just move on yourself. “I knew from day one something wasn’t right” Listen to your gut. And it will tell you a lot. A CEO I work with has four different businesses. In the industry in which he operates, he is a “golden child.” Everything he touches turns to gold. Three of the four businesses have had tremendous growth, increasing margins, low turnover and are … [Read more...] about How Do You Know It’s Time to Quit?
