Dr. Badalamenti and team, wishing you a relaxing and memorable Memorial Day weekend

The unofficial kickoff to summer—Memorial Day weekend—is a time Americans stop and remember those men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom over the course of American history.

Memorial Day also marks the unofficial start of the summer, and for many of our patients, getting out of town for three days after being cooped up in the office or in the classroom is sweet relief. At the office of Dr. Philip Badalamenti, we also know Memorial Day weekend is ripe for travel. After all, it’s a season of vacations, adventures and great memories.

What about you? What are you and your family up to this Memorial Day weekend? Whether you are headed to a barbecue, a camping trip, or hitting the open roads of Michigan with family this weekend, we want to know all about it!

Dr. Badalamenti and our entire team hope our patients have a nice holiday, and we get a little sunshine by Monday here in St. Clair Shores for the big parade that the Parade Council puts on for the residents and their friends. One good thing about all the rain we have had is that it is really GREEN here!

Love your smile? Tell the world ALL ABOUT IT!

At the orthodontic practice of Dr. Philip Badalamenti, we proudly work with children, teens, and adults to help create beautiful, one-of-a-kind smiles in a warm, friendly, family-friendly environment.

Whether you’ve just come in for a free consultation with Dr. Badalamenti or your family has been visiting our St. Clair Shores office for years, we’d love to hear your feedback. You can write a review here on our blog or on our Google listing!

We look forward to reading your reviews!

New patient contest!

Spring may have arrived in Michigan after all, and we are thrilled to announce our new contest for May! Simply come in and guess the number of baseballs in the jar in our reception area. Our patients seem to love those counting contests!

We would also like to thank our patients who entered their "Mom and Me" photos as part of our April contest ... some lucky moms received a dozen roses!

Remember that May 23-27 is our Theme Week. To prepare for celebrating Memorial Day, wear red, white and blue, or stars and stripes, or military to our office, and be eligible for a draw from the "Ortho Box."

And, lastly, don't forget Patient Appreciation Day on June 17th!!!

Dr. Badalamenti at the 111th AAO Annual Session

Patients at Dr. Badalamenti's orthodontic office can feel confident they are receiving the best in orthodontic health care. Dr. Badalamenti’s goal is to provide the most up-to-date technology and techniques using the best equipment possible. He is devoted to continuing education and furthers his learning through reading, attending conferences and continuing education courses. One of those conferences includes the 2011 AAO Annual Session in Chicago, where Dr. Badalamenti will head this weekend.

The AAO Annual Session is an always-educational event that is also one of the largest orthodontic conventions in the world. It’s also a time for Dr. Badalamenti to consult with dental experts and orthodontists from around the country and stay up-to-date on all the latest technologies and orthodontic treatment options available. This, of course, allows Dr. Badalamenti and our team to give you, our phenomenal patients, the best treatment experience possible.

If you’ve got an appointment for an adjustment or consultation scheduled with us soon, we invite you to ask Dr. Badalamenti about his Chicago trip, including what he learned and how continuing education and acquisition of new technology helps us treat you more effectively!

What puts you or your child at ease at Dr. B's office?

Dr. Badalamenti and team understand not everyone always enjoys visiting their orthodontist. But we always strive to make our patients feel at ease while they are here.

We like to share any information that we can to make our patients feel more involved in their treatment. We stress that they ask questions if they feel they might like more detail regarding a procedure. From the conversations during the day around the office, our patients seem comfortable asking questions and discussing treatment goals.

In addition to feeling comfortable with treatment and our entire staff, the extras we offer our patients include coffee, teas, and juices that are available in our reception room. We have wireless Internet access throughout our office. Check out our website, Facebook page and blog for updates on other incentives we offer!
