Before you begin making assumptions about dental implants, we encourage you to remember that there's a lot of misinformation out there (whether it's from friends, family, or the internet). In addition, there's a lot of stuff happening in that lovely mind of yours that can cause you to make guesses about implants (that just aren't true), which can then destroy your chances of enjoying a complete, beautiful smile again! Consider some things you should never assume if you're thinking about replacing your teeth!
#1: That They're Not For You
Don't make the sweeping assumption that dental implants are not for you. They work for many, many patients. While you may have some obstacles to overcome (like jaw damage), there are repairs for many of your concerns.
#2: That They Are Too Expensive
Assuming dental implants are too expensive? It's all about how you look at the investment. Yes, you may pay more upfront than something like a bridge. However, over time, they become increasingly cost effective (and since they last for the rest of your life in most cases, that's very cost effective).
#3: That You Won't Get Used To Them
Worried that you won't get used to your dental implants? You will. You'll require a quick period of adjustment, of course. Then, sooner than you might think possible, your replacements will feel like your own teeth.
#4: That They're Difficult To Care For
We often hear that patients assume implants will be very difficult to care for. The reality is that they're just like your natural teeth. You'll brush, floss, schedule dental checkups, and dental cleanings.
#5: That They'll Look Fake
Nope. They will look natural, they will function like natural teeth, and they will allow you to enjoy a complete smile again.
Combining experience in oral and maxillofacial surgery with a genuine care for their patients' health and comfort, the team at Santa Rosa and Rohnert Park Oral Surgery is ready to improve the health and beauty of smiles in the Sonoma County and North Bay area. To schedule a consultation, contact our office by calling 707-545-4625 (Santa Rosa) or 707-584-1630 (Rohnert Park).

Ecotourism Will Be the New Economy
FROM THE EARLY DAYS the idea of responsible tourism has been the Hilton Head Island ethos. The visionary community developments provided the first opportunities for people to experience nature, history and recreation.
Now you can enjoy a wide variety of experiences form one end of the Island to the other, and in the wide waters beyond. Ecotourism—defined as "responsible travel to natural or cultural areas that conserves the environment and improves the well-being of local people"—is growing by leaps and bounds and paddle strokes on Hilton Head Island.Read Article
(Part 2) Yoga on Hilton Head Island: The Standing Sequence
Practicing yoga outside on Hilton Head Island is simple, especially when you are equipped with a few key supplies.
Outdoors Yoga Checklist:
* A well-padded mat. Jiva Yoga Center and Sports Addiction carry a selection of yoga mats.
* Comfortable clothes. Go-Tri Sports sells Moving Comfort tanks and sports bras and Jiva Yoga Center stocks both men an women's yoga apparel.
* Sunscreen. Faces Day Spa, the Sanctuary, and Le Spa all sell high-quality sunscreen.
* Bug repellent. Hilton Head Farmers Market vendor Cynthia Lee makes a honey herbal insect repellent bar that smells divine.
* Water bottle.
After warming up the body as you learned in Part 1 with Sun Salutation A, you can begin the standing sequence. There are several energizing and lengthening standing poses for all experience and fitness levels. I would encourage everyone to be aware of their breath and make sure their inhales and exhales equal in length and originate from the nose rather than the mouth for optimal breathwork. Also, listen to your body. There is a difference between challenging and over-exerting yourself.Read Article
The Best Way to Discover Hilton Head Island
LONG BEFORE GOLF became popular, even before families came to play on our spacious the beaches, people have traveled to experience Hilton Head's natural environment and culture. This quest—to experience our diverse wildlife, waters, maritime forest and unique historical sites—was the original treasure that lured visitors to this once sleepy Island over 60 years ago. […]Read Article
(Part 1) Yoga on Hilton Head Island: The Warm Up
May on Hilton Head Island is the ideal time to be outside. According to the Weather Channel:
* The average low is 62
* The average high is 80
* The average precipitation is 2.95 inches (second after November in lowest annually)
* The average ocean temperature is 75
With extra daylight hours and relatively few mosquitoes, May is my favorite month to do yoga outside. My top 5 places to do yoga on Hilton Head Island are:Read Article
Pathways to Sustainability
Community trails connect people to nature, and spur economic growth
GETTING THERE FROM HERE on Hilton Head Island is a centuries-old challenge.
Over 4,000 years ago, American Indians paddled their hewn dugouts all the way from the the Colleton, May, and Savannah Rivers seeking winter's bonanza of oysters and game. We know they were here from their shell ring, shell mounds, and middens scattered over 42 square miles of high ground.Read Article
The Hilton Head Island Farmers Market at Historic Honey Horn: Eating Well and Feeling Good About it
Wellness, in my opinion, is not just about exercising and eating right. Wellness comes from nurturing yourself and fundamental principles like kindness and generosity.

Tree Pose: Paying Homage to Hilton Head's Lowcountry Landscape
Live Oak, Sabal Palmetto, and Long Leaf Pine. Red Cedar, Wax Myrtle and Bald Cypress. Whether draped in Spanish Moss, haloed by an osprey nest or spotted white with egrets, Hilton Head's trees frame the Island's natural beauty and are the infrastructure to the Lowcountry's charm.
It is for this reason the Island's trees make us smile. The appreciation we have for them generates a form of nature-inspired wellness.
Whenever I practice yoga outside—whether it is the Sea Pines Forest Preserve, Pinckney Island, or one of the Island's pristine beaches—I feel compelled to honor our native trees and do Vrksasana (vrik-SHAHS-anna), or the Sanskrit word for Tree Pose.Read Article
Meet Your Wild Neighbors
That's what Spanish explorers reportedly named Hilton Head Island—Isla de los Osos—when they sojourned the Port Royal Sound in the 1520s. And so began the legend that the Island and the Lowcountry were a primordial paradise populated by swamp dragons, stilt-legged prehistoric looking birds, and huge bigheaded fish that rose to the surface to breathe air. As late as the 1960s, wild turkeys roamed the pinelands and wild boar reaped havoc on lawns and fairways. And in the past 20 years new species of wildlife have arrived. Learning to coexist with residential critters is an everyday activity for coastal folk. But the interface of people and wildlife, sometimes inspiring, sometimes aggravating, challenges our role as stewards of natural resources here.Read Article
Explore the Wild Edge
In the Hilton Head Island-Bluffton area, there is one great nature preserve that trumps all others. Our beaches offer more breathtaking scenery, wildlife action and a daily show of nature's raw power than anywhere else in the region. This nexus of land and water is pure habitat for hundreds of animal species – from the biggest fish and dolphins to mysterious burrowers deep in sand.Read Article
Getting into the Gardening Groove
When I was a young girl growing up on Hilton Head my mother would say to me, "Becca, one day you'll be a gardener. It's just in your DNA." I remember looking at her sweat-stained T-shirt and dirt-encrusted fingernails. I remember holding my nose to avoid smelling the mulch. And I remember thinking, "No, gardening's not for me. I must be adopted."
But, as always, my mother was right. I have become a gardener.
I love removing a newly-purchased plant from its plastic container and planting it in the ground. I love wrestling with the garden hose. And, most of all, I love the fact that gardening is a form of moving meditation.Read Article

MD Program accreditation
Undergraduate medical programs in Canada leading to the MD degree are accredited through a partnership between the Committee on Accreditation of Canadian Medical Schools (CACMS) and the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME). Programs must conduct a full survey of institutional resources, educational resources, curricular content, faculty complement, and student services every eight years. This institutional self-study includes an independently conducted student analysis and a site visit by a team of external reviewers.
The MD Program at the University of Toronto completed its last self-study and site visit in May 2012. At that time, CACMS and LCME renewed the accreditation of the MD Program for an additional eight years, noting that monitoring and follow-up were required for nine out of a total of 128 accreditation standards. In October 2015, the program received notification that it is now in full compliance with all accreditation standards.
Read a message from Dean Trevor Young regarding the accreditation decision. The MD Program's next full accreditation self-study and site visit will take place in academic year 2019-2020.
New accreditation standards & interim review process
CACMS and LCME have recently revised their accreditation standards. Accreditation data must now be reported on 12 standards, each with a number of associated elements. Compliance with a total of 94 elements must now be reviewed and reported in advance of the accreditation site visit.
All Canadian MD programs are now also required to undertake an Interim Accreditation Review. Approved by the AFMC Council of Deans, the Interim Accreditation Review is an important component of continuous quality improvement in medical education. The interim review is intended to take place at approximately the half-way point between full accreditation visits, and will allow individual programs to:
- detect emerging problems with standards
- identify critical issues requiring more immediate action
- increase local accreditation expertise
- develop a culture of continuous quality improvement
Under the leadership of the Faculty's Interim Review Coordinator (IRC), Dr. Martin Schreiber, an interim survey team of faculty and students has been working to review accreditation-related data. Along with several groups of key stakeholders, the Faculty's IRC and an external IRC from another Canadian MD program, will review the data collected on each standard during a site visit lasting 1.5-2 days. The results of that site visit will form the basis of a confidential, formative report to the Dean of the Faculty of Medicine, with observations of the strengths of the MD Program, along with any areas of concern that should be addressed in preparation for the full accreditation self-study and site visit in 2019-2020.
The MD Program's Interim Accreditation Review took place on March 28 & 29, 2017. The External IRC for the site visit was Dr. Robert Whyte, Assistant Dean of Undergraduate Medical Education at the Michael G. DeGroote School of Medicine, McMaster University.
