Hugh Freeze is finding new ways to do things no other college football coach has ever done during a game.

Last week the former Ole Miss head coach was in the booth for the Liberty Flames for the first time. Hampered by a back injury, he coached from a hospital bed in the Flames’ 24-0 loss to Syracuse. A magical moment between Freeze and Dino Babers transformed into internet gold.

This week Liberty is on the road. The hospital bed will not fit in the Louisiana-Lafayette press box, so Liberty had to get creative.

If there’s anything more satisfying than being relieved of pain caused by an aching tooth – it’s when you can afford the cost of that dental procedure. Quality dental care is assured by most dentists, but there are dentists who – in their endeavors to accommodate more patients waiting every day – deliberately perform procedures faster than they normally should when the clinic is not filled with patients. It is the moral undertaking and the sworn Hippocratic Oath of the dentist to never compromise a patient’s health and recovery, more so if the latter is under financial hardships. But in reality, bad dentists are frequent, especially crowded towns/cities. And, these dentists often share the same qualities of blatant local & online advertising for their services, but having no proven technical expertise in those areas. Newly practicing dentists often claim that they can perform “life changing” cosmetic dental procedures (e.g. veneers, braces, dentures, implants, full mouth reconstruction) for a fraction of what veteran dentists charge. But be warned: These dentists are in it for the initial inflow of money. When the time comes that you need seek recourse for a cosmetic procedure gone awry, they’ll charge you extra and waive any liabilities you may have against them, For family & cosmetic gentle dentistry, You can refer this page.

The problem that most people face when they are thinking of having a cosmetic dental work done is the amount of pain they will experience. Dental procedures are associated with pain and most people do not go to the dentist for that reason alone. There are advertisements on television trying to push gels and medications that eliminate tooth discomfort but nothing can take the place of going to the dentist. With technical advancements, you can have painless dental work with the use of sedation while you can improve the overall look with cosmetic dental procedures. Eccella Smiles offers a unique approach to dentistry; focusing not only on the mouth, but on the patient’s overall health. W. Scott Wagner, DMD, LVIF spent years developing his vision for Eccella, which is a root word for excellence. Together with his team, he has combined the highest level of cosmetic and implant dentistry with comprehensive facial aesthetics, skin care and body health in a relaxed, patient-centered environment. Eccella Smiles offers specialized services including CEREC one visit restoration, Cone Beam CT Technology, NuCalm neuroscience relaxation technology, TMJ and neuromuscular therapy, and snoring and sleep apnea solutions. They also have a licensed aesthetician on staff and offer skin care services including Botox, Dysport, Restylane, Obagi and SkinMedica. 

The cost of some of the procedures may not be near as much as they once were when they were first offered. Most are now covered by insurance companies and are considered routine procedures.

When you smile, what is the first thing you notice- is it the color of your teeth or imperfections? What about alignment? Most people see what you see, when you look in a mirror, so if you don’t like the way your mouth looks now, you can still do something about it. Cosmetic dental procedures are great, if you want to create a new look and you need minimal dental work done.

A cosmetic dentist can pull out teeth that may be going bad or are misaligned or replace them with dental implants. You will never know that you have false teeth with these new implants. You never have to take them out and clean them like dentures and they last for a very long time.

If you are in a career that requires constant contact with people, then you want a smile that you can be proud of. Consider cosmetic dental procedures that will improve your smile and build your confidence. A dental visit will be all you need to find out what will work best for you. Instant cosmetic dental procedures can be performed in the dental office and you can just walk out of the dental office with a beautiful smile. Dental veneer can be applied over the natural teeth and composite veneers can be crafted and applied in an hour’s time.

To ensure that you are not burdened with the complete cost, contact your insurance company to check out the procedures that are covered and those that are not covered. The dentist office can usually make this phone call for you if you prefer and can work with your insurance company to get you the best deal on costs that will come out of your pocket.

Cosmetic dental procedures are all about making you look good and keeping your mouth healthy all the time. In the past you didn’t have the luxury of getting both together but today, it is offered in a convenient and easy way. In addition to the conveniences, you will not experience any discomfort and pain due to the procedure as safe sedation methods are practiced. Local anesthesia is used so you don’t feel overwhelmed or uncomfortable, while having cosmetic dental procedures done.

 Gabe DeArmond reports Liberty overnighted a dentist’s chair to Lafayette for Freeze to sit comfortable in the press box during the game.

First a hospital bed, now a dentist’s chair, what’s next? A futon?
