It's that time of year again, the week between Christmas and New Year where time doesn't really exist, you don't remember what day it is, and you eat chocolate for breakfast. It's also the time when people reflect on their last year and think about the year ahead.
2022 was an exciting year at Blairmore Dental Centre and we are looking back at some of our highlights from the year.
It's all about the people!
Blairmore Dental Centre is going on 10 years working in this community! We wouldn't be where we are without our wonderful staff who are committed to working with every patient who walks through the door. They show up everyday ready to provide quality dental care and support throughout your whole experience. We can't say enough good things and thank you's to our staff who were with us this year.
Excitingly, in fall 2022, we welcomed Dr. Dustin Wawryk to Blairmore Dental Centre. Dr. Wawryk is a long-time Saskatchewan resident who graduated from the University of Saskatchewan Dental College in 2010. He has worked around Saskatchewan and Canada in the years since and we are excited to be working with him now. He is accepting new patients and looking forward to seeing you at the clinic!
We also welcomed a number of other new staff to the clinic this year. Make sure you say hi to the new faces the next time you are here.
Invisalign
We have a new digital scanner in the clinic, which allows us to take 3D images of your mouth and teeth. These images help everyone see the impact of various treatments. One treatment that we use the scanner frequently for is Invisalign, which is now available with both Dr. Hamilton and Dr. Wawryk. Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment that aims to fix incorrect tooth alignment and bite, which can impact the health and function of your mouth and teeth.
Celebrations!
As always, we took time as a team to celebrate and enjoy each other's company outside of work this year. We visited the new Stoked Centre in Saskatoon for some team bowling. We also continued our annual tradition of pumpkin carving at Halloween and decorating the clinic for the holidays in December.
Social Media
We continue to be active on Instagram and Facebook and are grateful to everyone who follows along. We held a few giveaways this year, including our 12 Days of Christmas, and it was so fun to spread holiday cheer with our community. Thank you to everyone who participated. We continue to use our blog and social media spaces to share about dentistry and our team.
health and safety
We continue to be aware of COVID 19 and other illnesses in the community and take appropriate precautions. Our staff will always be wearing masks while in the clinic and we will continue to do pre-appointment COVID screening. If you have tested positive for COVID or are feeling unwell we ask you to reschedule your appointment.
We are ready for 2023! It is our 10 year anniversary and we are looking forward to celebrating.
We also have a few other exciting things planned for the clinic and we can't wait to share them with you. We want to thank all of our patients for working with us this year, and we look forward to seeing you in 2023!
