Greetings!
 
jack and the girlsSo things get so dang exciting this time of year I'm hard pressed not to sing and dance around the office. 
 
And if you've seen some Dr. V hip-hop or heard "Friends in low Places" then you know what you're missing the rest of the year.
 
The Holidays are on deck just like the World Series, Bowl games, and the next TC City Council court appearance and we all get the chance to take a collective sigh...and give thanks.
Mama Von Bulow always used to tell me no matter how frustrating things get around here most of the rest of the world would swap straight up for our worst day.
 
This time around you'll hear more about Invisalign Day, learn a thing or two about healthier and brighter smiles, and get to know Twin Tower of Hygiene Jennifer a little better.  I'll give you a USC v Notre Dame report straight out of South Bend, Indiana plus some photos and videos featuring some of our coolest patients.
 
And don't forget the pearls from Aunt Clara...if you ever meet her, you might be quizzed.
 
paraffin handAll this, plus paraffin hand care (stay tuned for foot massage.)
 
Yours truly,
Dr. V

Did you know...

 

-80% of all orthodontics can be accomplished with Invisalign and no metal braces?

-over 1 million patients have successfully been treated with Invisalign?

-you can go to www.invisalign.com and do a self-assessment?

-the entire TCDC team has had Invisalign care?

If you've ever wanted straighter, healthier teeth but never got too excited over strapping on metal braces, November 11th is your day! 
 
Friends and family are all welcome.  Why not treat yourself to a smile; your own smile?  We'll be offering free consultations and free teeth whitening.  If you start Invisalign on November 11th you'll qualify for a $500 stimulus package rebate (If you're one of the first three to start you will receive a $750 rebate.) 
 
Interest free financing will be available for up to two years for those who are eligible (If interest free financing is important, I'd suggest starting Invisalign sooner.)
 
This might be a great opportunity to use Flex money for 2009 before you lose it.  And why not treat yourself to something you may have wanted for years?  If you've ever wanted straighter teeth and a golden SoCal smile, the time might be now!

See you on November 11!  We'll have a Care Credit representative visiting and gifts for everyone.  We'll also be raffling off a flat screen TV! 

Uh oh, almost forgot, paraffin hand care for everyone!

Cosmetic Tip of the Month
womanYou can have a whiter brighter smile with no drills or shots!
First off, teeth-whitening is not invasive; it's a slam dunk. No anesthetic necessary.
Did you know there are circumstances where porcelain veneers can be done with no shots or drills? Dr. V has taken Durathin veneers training in Nashville and works with the premier dental lab in the country to make porcelain veneers that are totally non-invasive (Durathins are particularly effective for folks who have already had orthodontics with extractions.)
 
And what about direct tooth-colored fillings to close spaces between teeth?  No shots, no drills, no Jack-o-lantern, only a beautiful, new smile to flash.

Don't forget about Invisalign. No shots, no drills, no metal braces
USC Trojan Corner!
 
USC vs. Notre Dame
Freshman QB Matt Barkley has thrown for 958 yards and three touchdowns this season. 
 
So what can I say?  How cool is it to stay in Chicago across the street from Gibson's for 4-5 days and take a day to see my beloved Trojans beat the Irish for the eighth time in a row?  I would say, very cool indeed.
I actually saw five different TCDC patients on the trip.  Hung out with Susie and Steve Day and now I can get into Gibson's with no reservation wearing a USC hoodie and shorts. I also experienced a sighting of USC' Doc Hubanks and better half Sharon. And I wound up sitting next to Desmond Reed and his girlfriend. Desmond was an outstanding player at USC and has helped out with community stuff in our practice (See Desmond's Snuggies commercial videotaped by me at Notre Dame Stadium ini the YOUTUBE section here.)

TEAM STAR: Twin Tower of Hygiene Jennifer Ton
big mama fish house 
Registered Dental Hygienist Jennifer has been a key part of the TCDC team for the last seven years.  Jen attended UCLA for two years but recovered in time to graduate from the Hygiene Program at USC.  Jennifer has her laser certificate and has trained with the nationally renowned Advance Hygiene Concepts. And I don't know anyone who's clinically more meticulous than Jen.
 
What you may not know about Jennifer is that she commutes to Temple City all the way from Manhattan Beach, knows every 5-star restaurant in the world east or west of Temple City Blvd.  I think Princess Jennifer's wedding and marriage to great guy Mike was actually televised in several countries. (Photo: Dani, Jen, Kolleen, and Dalila at Big Mama's Fish House.) 
Shout outs for Dr. V and his awesome team! 
cindy b"I'm not thrilled with going to the dentist, I mean seriously all that drilling, poking, ghastly needles the size of straws, not to mention the sadistic way they take x-rays...so needless to say I usually avoid them.  Until one morning when I met Dr. Jack Von Bulow at a Pasadena Chamber of Commerce Meeting.  I had been kicking around the idea of teeth straightening for years, but other things had always come first.  After listening to Dr. Von Bulow give a 30 second "commercial" about Temple City Dental I decided to inquire about Invisalign. Knowledgeable and friendly Dr. VB asked if I would like to come in for a consult, which I did. That was a year ago, now I have beautifully straight, healthy teeth.  Dr. VB and the whole team at Temple City Dental are absolutely by far the best dental care providers out there. This is a very prompt, professional office, but at the same time the atmosphere is relaxed, cozy and fun...yes I said fun about a dentist!  I have referred many, many people to Dr. VB because I get stopped on the street by people admiring my teeth...weird but true.  Check Temple City Dental out for yourself, you will be pleasantly surprised and happy you did."

What's Up with Aunt Clara?
 
aunt clara
Here's some advice I frequently get from my Aunt Clara:
 
 
"Make sure you let me know where you're going and call me as soon as you get home!!!"  Now what I'm thinking is, "I was already a dentist during Disco and the Carter Administration." But what I know my Aunt is really saying is be responsible and accountable and stay in communication with your loved ones. And remember...I'm Sicilian; it only takes one phone call!
