Every year, we welcome new patients who have never visited our Juno Beach office before. Are you one of those patients?

If you are, we strongly recommend that you visit our New Patient page before coming in for your appointment. On this page, you’ll find links to essential forms that you’ll need to fill out. Filling them out before you come in will help us streamline your appointment. When you show up, you’ll simply hand them over to us and we’ll start looking at your information while you wait to see Dr. Keuning or Dr. Riley.

Our forms include a welcome form, a new patient form, and a form explaining our policies. It’s important for you to look at all three of these before you come in.

You’ll also find information here on the forms of payment we accept and how third-party financing can help you cover the costs of care.

Do you have questions about your upcoming visit with Dr. Keuning or Dr. Riley of Juno Beach? Visit our New Patient page or give us a call. We serve patients from Juno Beach, North Palm Beach, Palm Beach Gardens, Tequesta, Jupiter and beyond.

If you have serious goals for your smile in 2014, you’re going to need a team that can help you carry them out. At Juno Beach Restorative & Aesthetic Dentistry, we’re happy to be your guides to a healthier, more radiant smile.

Of course, improving your smile takes planning and time. If you want to transform the appearance of your teeth with a cosmetic service, or if you have missing teeth you want to replace with a restorative service, seeing us for a consultation is important. In general, we recommend that patients see Dr. Keuning or Dr. Riley twice within a 12-month period. This not only helps us plan your cosmetic or restorative care, it also helps us watch for common oral health issues that need to be treated.

We offer a comprehensive range of services. A sampling includes:

• Porcelain Veneers
• Teeth Whitening
• Invisalign
• Laser Gum Recontouring
• Dental Implants
• Crown and Bridgework
• Full-Mouth Reconstruction

Because every patient has different needs, Dr. Keuning and Dr. Riley will work one-on-one with you to understand your needs and your goals. After an oral exam, we’ll be happy to recommend one or more services to help you. If you have questions about what we recommend, we’ll be happy to answer them.

Call Juno Beach Restorative & Aesthetic Dentistry today to schedule your first 2014 appointment with us. Dr. Keuning and Dr. Riley are happy to work with patients from Jupiter, Palm Beach Gardens, Tequesta, North Palm Beach, and beyond.

For patients who visited Dr. Keuning or Dr. Riley back in January or February, now is the perfect time to schedule your second visit with our Juno Beach team. Not only is August the eighth month of the year, it’s a sign that we’re entering the home stretch of 2013.Within the next month, children will be going back to school, and not long after that, the holiday season will be on everyone’s mind.

All of which means your life is about to get busier. Make time for your next checkup and cleaning now, while you have it available.

During every checkup and cleaning, Dr. Keuning and Dr. Riley look for some of the most common oral health issues a patient can face. That includes the obvious, like gum disease and tooth decay, but it also involve neuromuscular problems and oral cancer. It’s only through having a thorough understanding of your current needs that an effective diagnosis can be made.

If we find any reason to suggest extra care, you can look forward to excellent cosmetic and restorative care from our Juno Beach dental team. With our years of experience, our education, and our continued eagerness to learn, we’re helping patients achieve healthy smiles and a better sense of wellbeing.

To schedule your next appointment with Juno Beach Restorative & Aesthetic Dentistry, call us today. We’re happy to serve patients from Juno Beach, North Palm Beach, Palm Beach Gardens, Jupiter, and Tequesta.

Your oral and overall health are much more connected than most people realize. For example, gum disease doesn’t just have an impact on your smile’s wellbeing; it’s also been connected to other health problems, like heart disease, diabetes, stroke, Alzheimer’s and preterm birth.

But even patients who were aware of this connection might not have realized there’s also a connection between oral health and hormone levels. In that case, the truth is surprising. As it turns out, the rise or fall of hormone levels in the body has an effect on one’s vulnerability to gum disease. Women will experience this more than men because of the hormone changes they experience throughout life. Some of the biggest cases include puberty, pregnancy, and menopause. But those aren’t the only times when hormone levels will change. Women taking birth control may be more susceptible, as are women who are about to begin their period.

So, what does that mean for patients of Juno Beach Restorative and Aesthetic?

It means that regular exams and checkups should be a priority. The whole point of regular visits is to catch gum disease before it has a chance to become more serious. During your visit, if Dr. Keuning or Dr. Riley finds anything, a treatment plan can be put together immediately.

Are you a woman who is pregnant or taking birth control? Let us know, and be sure you make regular care a priority. Also, remember to brush at least twice a day, floss once, and rinse with a fluoride or antibacterial mouthwash.

Call us today to schedule your next appointment. Dr. Keuning and Dr. Riley serve patients from Juno Beach, Palm Beach Gardens, Jupiter, North Palm Beach, Tequesta, and beyond.
