Carol Burnett Show - Tim Conway as the Dentist

Whether you're old enough to have seen this sketch when it was broadcast on TV for the first time, or you're just seeing it today, it's one funny scene.

Tim Conway (the dentist) and Harvey Korman (the patient) were actors on a comedy variety show - The Carol Burnett Show. This is one of their classic sketches where Tim Conway is the very inexperienced dentist that needs to read the instructions on how to do a procedure. Things spiral out of control though when the Novocaine comes out.

You Can do it with The Home Depot

June is the official month of Father's Day. Of course, every other month is a time for fathers. But, for this month, we're giving away a gift certificate to The Home Depot to help celebrate. This isn't just for fathers, it's for everyone that is part of our Let's Keep Smiling Newsletter. If you're in it, you can win it.

Whether you're planting, seeding or just need some new tools, we hope that this gift certificate that we're giving away will help.

Thank you to all those people who have contacted us, from past winners to people who simply enjoy being reminded to smile each month!

Dental Implants with Dr. Tsai - Millbrae Dental Care

Many of my patients are surprised to learn you don't need to see a specialist to have a dental implant or mini implant placed. Dentists like me, who have gone on to take post graduate implant training, are able to place dental implants as well as mini implants right in our office.

This is great news to our patients since they can have their implants from start to finish in one office. Also, dental implant costs are significantly lower when placed by a dentist versus an oral surgeon; making dental implants a more affordable treatment. We can also offer lower cost bone grafts and extractions if needed. For more involved cases we work closely with a specialist.

Many patients are concerned about the process or procedure to place a dental implant. Once they find out how common and well understood the treatment is they are able to relax. Most dental implants can be placed in an hour or so. Once placed you will return to our office for a followup visit to make sure everything is healing properly. Then about four to six months later we will place the final crown and abutment. Below I have posted a video on YouTube that illustrates the implant process.

Another Fatherly Video Worth Watching

Being a parent, a friend or simply a caring person often demands that we step outside our comfort zone. Do things we otherwise might not do for a better cause or affect. However innocent these good deeds might be, sometimes a simple explanation is in order, but gets lost through it all. We couldn't resist posting this second video clip of a father spending time with his daughter. We're not endorsing the soda product, but do appreciate the theme of this heart-warming and funny commercial.

Just Another Fatherly Day - Funny Video

Father's Day is this month. Whether you're a father, a prospective one or just enjoy watching a funny video of one, this video is worth it. Enjoy!
