Athanasius Morcos, DMD, a general dentist, is providing comprehensive dental services to adults and children starting at age 12. He helps patients get beautiful and healthy smiles by offering dental exams and cleanings, dentures, crowns and bridges, dental implants and implant restorations, professional whitening, traditional veneers and ultra-thin Lumineers®, Invisalign® and ClearCorrect™ clear aligners, bone grafting, extractions, periodontal (gum) disease management and root canal therapy and retreatment.  Dr. Morcos also offers nitrous oxide (laughing gas) to make dental visits more comfortable for patients who experience anxiety.

Advanced Technology

Dr. Morcos is introducing BriteOn!™ in-office professional whitening for only $ 199.  It leverages new technology that can get teeth up to 8 shades whiter in about 30 minutes with little to no discomfort.  Dr. Morcos conducts advanced oral cancer screening exams using Identafi®, the world's first and only multispectral imaging device that can detect oral cancer at its earliest and most curable stages. Oral cancer is the sixth deadliest form of cancer and is on the rise, even among patients who don't have traditional risk factors.

New Patient Specials

Coast Dental Spring Hill East is offering a number of grand opening special offers to help patients get started on a regular program of good oral hygiene. Download the offers on the office's website.  New patients without dental benefits can take advantage of an offer for a free exam and x-rays and a free one-year membership in Coast Dental's Smile Plus discount dental plan. Dr. Morcos is also offering free Invisalign consultations as well as $500 off Invisalign treatment through the end of January 2012.  Invisalign is an alternative to traditional braces. It uses a set of clear aligners that are slipped over teeth to reposition teeth.  The aligners are removed for eating and brushing.  Patient financing and payment plans are available to qualified applicants.
