El Reno Family Dentistry Breaks Ground at Country Club Square Shopping Center

El Reno, Oklahoma — El Reno Family Dentistry announces plans to build a new dental facility in the Country Club Square Shopping Center. The area is on SW 27th street just off Country Club Road adjacent to Walgreens and Tractor Supply with access from I-40 (Country Club Road Exit 123).
The current facility for El Reno Family Dentistry was the home to Dr. Michael Compton’s dental practice for several decades and is located at 1320 W. Elm. Dr. Compton retired in 2011 and El Reno Family Dentistry has leased the building from Dr. Compton since then.
Dr. Adam Cohlmia and Dr. Michael Kirk are owners of El Reno Family Dentistry and serve Canadian County and surrounding towns by providing general, cosmetic, and implant dentistry in a friendly and professional environment. The practice has expanded and a new building became necessary to serve the needs of our patients.
El Reno Family Dentistry’s new facility is designed by architect Alisa Weatherman and built by Larry Wimmer Construction. It will feature the latest dental technology and patient-friendly amenities such as a child center with toys, relaxing reception room, spacious treatment rooms, and handicap conveniences. “We welcome patients of all ages and we want them all to feel relaxed and have fun with us while improving their oral health”, said Dr. Cohlmia. “The design is very clean and professional but will continue to provide the friendly, family-oriented atmosphere that is the hallmark of our dental practice”, added Dr. Cohlmia. “Dr. Compton built a great reputation with his patients and we will continue to build and expand that reputation in our new facility.” Dr. Kirk said,” it has been our goal and dream since 2011 to build a beautiful, relaxing, hi-tech dental facility in El Reno and Canadian County. There are a lot of exciting things happening in El Reno right now and we wanted to do our part to serve the city and our patients in the best way possible. Investing in the future of El Reno is very important to us.”
The redevelopment of the Country Club Square Shopping Center features El Reno Family Dentistry as well as two new hotels that are currently under construction. “We are enthusiastic about the area and our plan is to be in the office at the beginning of 2016,” said Dr. Cohlmia. Until then we will continue to see our existing and new patients in our current office at 1320 W. Elm.

Dental Implants, El Reno, OK
July 22, 2015
Missing teeth can change the way you look, talk, chew, and live. Left unreplaced they can cause long-term damage to your dental health. No one knows this better than Dr. Cohlmia and El Reno Family Dentistry team. When one of our hygienists lost a tooth, she wanted to restore her smile, not just replace her tooth. She chose to have a dental implant placed, and share her story with all of our patients from start to finish. If you need one or more teeth replaced, dental implants may be your best solution. Call our convenient El Reno, OK office to find out more, or schedule your dental implant consultation today.

The Story
No matter who you are or how well you care for your teeth, sometimes even the most complete preventive dental care falls short. One of the El Reno Family Dentistry hygienists recently learned that lesson the hard way. During a regular checkup, we noticed a crack in a tooth that had previously undergone root canal therapy (Image 1). Further exploration determined that the tooth was not reparable. We discussed tooth replacement options, but our hygienist wanted the full tooth restoration afforded her by having a dental implant placed.
Unlike traditional tooth replacement, dental implants replace both the visible, chewing surface of the tooth and the root. The root of our teeth provides the anchor that holds them in place, but the root also serves the purpose of assisting in gum tissue and bone density retention. Replacing only the eating surface without a root replacement, does not provide a complete dental restoration.

The Implant
Like any other patient, our hygienist scheduled her dental implant appointment where we surgically placed a titanium post below her gums to replace the root, and attached an abutment to support the custom, permanent crown. Then, we waited while the implant fused to her jawbone (Image 2). Once the implant was secure, we replaced her temporary crown with a permanent replacement tooth.
Her smile has always been beautiful, but she had some discolorations on the surrounding teeth (Image 3), and chose to apply veneers to the surrounding teeth to provide a cohesive color and added layer of protection against future decay. The final result was a beautiful, picture-perfect smile, and she couldn’t be happier (Image 4).
If you’re wondering which of our lovely ladies got the implant, we’ll never tell because you’ll never know the difference.
