For decades, dentists used the natural placement of teeth as a foundation to correcting and repairing smiles.  Bridges, crowns and implants would be created so that all the teeth came together properly.

While this sounds like common sense, there was one key component that was being ignored: the jaw.

This meant that while a dentist could make the teeth come together properly, in many cases this was being done at the expense of the jaw.  For many, the result was jaw pain, headaches, and difficulty chewing.  In some cases these symptoms would worsen AFTER dental work was done.

For over 30 years, Dr. Peter Dawson has taught dentists around the world how to perform dental procedures using the natural placement of the jaw as a starting point.

The result is dental work that lasts longer, less wear on natural teeth, and best of all, the virtual elimination of jaw pain.

Over the last two years, Dr. Abbott has attended numerous courses presented by the Dawson Academy and has been applying them to her treatment programs.

Her patients have quickly seen and felt the benefits of Dr. Abbott’s new treatment techniques.  Clients who had experienced jaw pain for years have left her office pain free.  Often with just one visit.

Dr. Abbott is committed to continuously improving her skills through the Dawson Academy as well as other CDA and ODA approved courses.

“The Dawson Academy, one of the leading international organizations for post-graduate dental education, is proud to announce that Dr. Natalie Abbott has taken the Academy’s extensive continuing education courses.  By taking these courses, Dr. Abbott is making a commitment to help her patients achieve long-term optimal oral health.

The Dawson Academy is where dentists come to gain a better understanding of not only teeth, but also the muscles and systems that control them.  The Dawson Academy is committed to creating “Complete Dentists.”  Ultimately, patients of these Complete Dentists will notice considerable benefits, and a dental experience unlike any other they’ve ever had.

What is a “Complete Dentist?”
At The Dawson Academy, dental professionals like Dr. Abbott learn to examine and treat teeth as part of the overall oral system, not just as stand alone elements.  This unique approach helps dentists identify causes of problems, rather than simply treating the symptoms.

For example, you may have a chipped tooth you would like repaired.  The Dawson Academy’s philosophy teaches dentists to not only repair the tooth but determine the underlying cause(s) that led to the chipped tooth in the first place.  This comprehensive approach to treatment of dental problems results in long-term stability, optimal oral health and beauty – that lasts.

In addition to hands-on clinical treatments, The Dawson Academy teaches dentists to treat each patient individually.  Every patient receives a thorough examination so the dentist can better understand the patient’s specific wants and needs.  This examination will provide you and your dentist with a complete picture of what is going on in and around your teeth, so that a comprehensive treatment plan can be developed.  The benefits pay dividends to patients for the rest of their lives.  This may sound like a no-brainer, but this approach, for whatever reason, is not practiced by many dentists.

We are proud of Dr. Abbott for her continued commitment to provided exceptional care to her patients and know that they are equally grateful for having her as their dentist.”
