Clinical Research Center
Our office is unique in that it conducts leading-edge clinical research, allowing us to be on the forefront of advances in technology. Our center, one of the first practice-based research centers in the U.S., continues to conduct many research studies each year. These studies not only contribute to the body of scientific literature, they also benefit our patients involved in the studies by providing care at a reduced fee.
Our ability to conduct research projects also provides our office and our patients access to technology that would otherwise not be available.
Teaching
Drs. McGuire and Scheyer are regularly asked by their peers to lecture on esthetics, regenerative procedures, dental implants, tissue engineering, and the link between periodontal disease and systemic health. Both doctors hold teaching positions at the graduate and post-graduate levels, have been published in peer-reviewed journals and textbooks, and often conduct teaching sessions for colleagues at their office.
State-of-the-Art Technology
We work with the most sophisticated equipment available in our profession. This equipment allows us to diagnose and treat patients most efficiently and effectively. Some of these include dental lasers, microscopes, digital x-rays, the most advanced computer technology, and more.
