Now and Then...Firestation #3




A few blogs back I promised you a look at our new location, Historic Firestation #3 very near Downtown Houston. This two story building was built in 1903 though officially, the record show 1905 because city hall burned down, ironically, in 1905. We know the building was built in 1903 because the cornerstone has all the wonderful information so, it does come "carved in stone"!

I hope everyone has a wonderful New Years and a great new year in 2007!

All phone lines restored!

Wanted to make a fast post that we are told the 1-800 number has been restored finally. Our sincere apologies for all the inconviences of the last few months. We thank you all for continuing to be patient.

Also, look in the Feb issue of Dental Product Reports for our press releases on the Samurai Bur and the Speedpak for Endo and Crown Procedure. There is also a good chance you will find an exclusive in thier March issue so, keep an eye out for that.

Finally, once more we here at Simple Dental all wish you a happy, safe and full Christmas and New Year.

It's Christmas Time Again!

We at Simple Dental hope all of you have a joyous and happy Holiday season this year! Many of you have wondered about what happened (and is happening) with the phone situation and Simple Dental. Well, long story short, we have a new phone provider due to the old one dropping the ball in a major way. Basically, from the end of September to mid November, Simple Dental lost all of its normal phone lines due to the move. Numbers were not ported over as they should have been and the main company moved at its own pace because, as we were told, they could. Even to date, our 1-800 service is still down but, we are told, it will be up this week (12/11/2006). Of course, we were told it would be up LATE week too so, just keep using the existing numbers or the 832-239-8533 to make sure you will get through.

We had our December Workshop and it was a huge success! The doctors learned many, many new things and all were greatly amazed at the improvements in thier procedures. It's always a satisfying feeling to see the lights turn on once they get thier "hands on" experience.

I do want to mention here that the Samurai Bur is designed to be used in handpieces at 400,000 RPM or BELOW. There has been quite alot of discussion about the Samurai and another copy of the Samurai called the Razor "shattering" when used in Air Turbine handpieces. Dentists need to contact thier handpiece manufacturers and get the PSI to RPM conversion rate to make sure that the burs stay below the 400,000 RPM upper limit. This will almost completely stop any "shattering" effects. Also, Simple Dental still offers 100 Samurai Burs for only $249.00 plus shipping, still the lowest regular price out there! So be sure to pick up a few packs for the holidays!

Lastly, all of us at Simple Dental want to wish you safe as well as happy holidays. May you have great times that become greater memories!
