Cutting-Edge Digital Processes at Kempter Dentistry

Kempter Dentistry, with locations in Concord and Charlotte, provides digital dentistry that incorporates digital or computer-controlled technology to implement both restorative and diagnostic dental procedures. It’s used to facilitate dental treatments and provides new ways to benefit the patient as well as providing greater accuracy.

The practice utilizes iTero, their newest form of technology that creates a 3D image of teeth with a scanner. This is an outstanding diagnostic tool that can also be used for Invisalign; dental lasers for restorative work, facial aesthetics, tongue and lip tie revisions, and more. CEREC is restorations that are designed and created using CAD/CAM (computer-aided design and computeraided manufacturing), a process that creates scans of the mouth that are then passed to a milling unit that fabricates restoration in the office while patients wait.

Digital dentistry is always advancing, and they pride themselves in staying on the cutting edge of dental advancements. For patients, this means that dental work that traditionally requires multiple visits can be done in a single visit with increased accuracy and no messy impressions.

Locations: 1000 Copperfield Blvd. NE, Ste. 160, Concord; and 3111 Springbank Ln., Ste. F1, Charlotte. For more information and to make appointments, call 704-782-0797, email Info@KempterDentistry.com or visit www.KempterDentistry.com. See ad, page 8.

Multiforce Poses Digestive Health Benefits

Multiforce, an alkalizing, multimineral, dietary supplement, poses a wide variety of health benefits, both in daily living and linked to indulging events like holidays, parties, or family gatherings. The product, produced in Germany under pharmaceutical-grade standards and facilities, has been proven to increase urinary pH which means there is less acidity in the body. Since excess acidity leads to a weakened immune system, premature aging, and many diseases, pH is important to keep in check.

Its ingredients include magnesium hydrogenium, a phosphate that acts as a digestive antacid; calcium citrate, which has phosphate-binding properties which results in alkalinity; magnesium citrate, which has a bowel-cleansing effect; potassium bicarbonate, with blood-alkalinizing properties and acting on metabolic acidosis; potassium citrate, a diuretic and alkalinizing effect on the urine by combining with calcium and acid in the kidneys (this also helps prevent the formation of kidney stones); Dicalciumphosphate 2-Hydrate, an easily absorbed calcium which helps control acidity while building bones and helps prevent bone loss, and as an aid to reducing blood pressure and cardiac ailments; along with acerola extract’s antioxidant properties.

Blvd., Charlotte); Charlotte Vitamins and Health (8206 Providence Rd., Ste. 1800, Charlotte and 7756 Charlotte Hwy., Ste. 104, Indian Land, S.C.); Dilworth Drug & Wellness Center (1300-B East Blvd, Charlotte); Medicap Pharmacy (361 George W.
