The smiles are on us
See going to the dentist can be fun and here from Merion Village Dental are
Harvey Vesha over here
and Greg Janikian as well doctors welcome and uh... thanks for being here
today. Thanks for having us. I love the uh... love that
commercial by the way that's awesome that's very fun...
Dentistry From The Heart is something that's coming up tomorrow that
your practice is involved with uh... Greg why don't you explain a little bit
about what that's all about. Well it is a great program that was actually founded
in two thousand one by a dentist in florida to help people in their community
and it's part of Merion Village Dental's million-dollar commitment
to give back to the community. It's a program where you can come
and uh... receive free dentistry we're hoping to see over a hundred people
and we've got a lot of volunteers coming i want to thank my staff
you know we've got just wonderful people that are going to volunteer and help out
and uh... we're going two thousands of dollars worth of free dentistry
Wow that's awesome. Doctor Vesha if you would just explain a little bit about
the history of this event nationwide and how you guys came to be involved with
it
We were at a conference last year and
uh... the headliner of the conference said that uh...
it was really imperative and for uh... those of us in this particular
profession too
give back to the community and uh...
uh... Dentistry From The Heart's been around for about ten years and uh... as
soon as we heard about it we signed up for it and the
staff is
really excited over this it's it's pretty impressive. What's involved if
somebody watching here today uh... would like to uh... come down and visit you
guys at your practice what's involved what can they expect
uh... whatever they need in terms of uh...
uh... dentistry we'll try and diagnosis when they do come in whether it's a uh...
cleaning whether it's a filling whether it's an extraction something that they
know they need uh... and even if they don't just come in and uh... uh... will
diagnosis it and treat it. Any age limit can you bring your kids down?
our uh... what what's the
if someone should go to the website
the website says that
eighteen and over, but actually we're seeing kids. We thought that's uh... pretty
important so we will be seeing children. sure uh... we saw the promo doctor
Janikian and if you could explain a little bit about your practice because
it looks like actually a fun place to go see the dentist which you don't hear
very often. We hear that all the time from our patients. As a matter of fact we we do
get the response of I don't
feel like I am at a dental practice i feel like i'm just
having fun and it's just kind of our goal to achieve that but our practice
itself is a family oriented practice
and it really is very high tech
and hi touch you know we use a lot of technology to help our patients
and job we have a lot of fun doing it too,we try and treat everybody like the part of
our family
One of the uh... things that i noticed was that you call yourself progressive
and innovative. Explain how those terms apply to your practice.
Innovative I would
that's an interesting question. Innovative would be a i think would describe our way of
approaching
care for patients in the sense that you know typically come into a dental
practice and they may take x-rays and they kind of tell you, you need this and you need that and
come on back and do that. We take a little different approach in a sense that
we try and have patients participate
in their own care and
see what we see so that they can be involved and they get a better outcome,
we find
and progressive we we do have the latest and greatest technology. I'm a
big gadget person so is harvey so we love technology and we love to be able to
offer the latest to our patients. Doctor Vesha we know about Dentistry From The
Heart but other uh... other opportunities for patients who come in
to get some other
offers so to speak?
i think we'd we'd rather talk about what if you don't mind uh...
what the practice uh... offers to the community I know Dentist From The
Heart is certainly uh... a huge project and it is but few years ago we
established the Merion Village Dental Foundation and uh... that's what Greg
referenced we'd like to we set a goal of of a million dollars uh... oh
you can check our website uh...
whether it's uh... Make a Wish Foundation and uh...
Wounded Warriors
Columbus has been March of Dimes uh...
dental practices typically really become part of the community
and uh... this uh...
uh... Central Ohio has really been good to us and it's our way uh...
to express our thanks and so uh... when patients come in and say gee could you
support this uh...
charity or this uh...
uh... we we really make every effort to do that. Really a part of the community
that is awesome. Alright real quickly about ten seconds just
the date and time tomorrow and the events uh... tomorrow march ninth
between seven and five
based on a first come first serve basis dress warmly because you might be waiting
in line outside and uh... we'll try and see as many patients as we can. Awesome. We're
on South High Street just two miles south of downtown.
