Ive even been able to share my skills and knowledge toa large audience through my appearances onABC4 and Good Things Utah, where Ive been able to explainnew procedures and techniques that can improve lives. Furthermore, Ive been a dental advisor to Healthy Utah magazine for years.
An area that has improved in dental needs is laser dentistry, with the introduction of different types of lasers, for dental treatment such as periodontal care and removal of carious lesions (decay). The laser cleans out the cavities with minimal tooth removal and the area is cleaned and sterilized and most of all anesthetic may not be necessary for these types of procedures. I also use lasers to perform gum sculpting and also for implant treatment which includes the preparation of the area for bone grafting. Another laser that is used very often is the decay-finding laser which utilizes fluorescent technology to detect and diagnose unseen and improbable tooth decay.
Manu Bennett was a guest host on Good Things Utah, and while there he met Dr. Meden, and learned about Dr. Medens approach to revitalizing smiles. After treatment, Manu called his work with Dr. Meden the best investment of my life.
Manu had a few issues with his teeth and mouth, such as missing teeth, a gap, a collapsed bite and remains of an archaic procedure. One challenge Dr. Meden had was that he had to make Manus smile look good from day one, as Manu was flying out immediately for a world premier of The Hobbit. Dr. Meden recognizes the need for quality temporary veneers.
