An Update from Little Mountain Dentistry

April 2024

Dear Cherished Friends and Valued Patients,

After dedicating many years to the practice of dentistry, I have come to the decision to embark on a new chapter and retire. Serving you and your families has been an immense privilege and joy throughout these years. I have always endeavored to uphold the trust and respect you have graciously bestowed upon me. I have searched for a colleague that I felt shared the same dedication to care for my patients as I have.

I am pleased to introduce Dr. Chase Cappellucci to you.

Beginning April 2024, Dr. Cappellucci will be available for your scheduled appointments and emergency care. I want to assure you that Cindy and Anna are still here, so you will see the same faces that you are accustomed to. I urge all of you to come in to meet Dr. Cappellucci and allow him to continue the high quality of care that we have always tried to give you. Thank you for your years of dedication to our practice.

Sincerely, Dr. Bobby McBride, DDS

It is with great enthusiasm that I join this esteemed practice, eager to serve you and your loved ones with dedication and compassion. My academic journey began at Brigham Young University for my undergraduate studies, followed by Roseman University for dental school. These experiences have equipped me with the skills and knowledge necessary to provide exemplary dental services.

While my roots were firmly planted in Utah, my life took an exciting turn when I met my wife, Riley. Her passion for southern living inspired us to relocate to the East Coast several years ago. Now, we have found a home in the Little Mountain-Chapin area filled with warmth and community. Under my care, you can expect nothing short of excellence. I am deeply committed to staying abreast of the latest advancements in dentistry through continuous education and research. Your oral health and well- being are my utmost priorities.

Beyond the dental chair, I cherish moments spent with my family. As a father of two, I find joy in exploring the wonders of the Columbia Zoo, immersing in all forms of outdoor activities, and embracing the serenity of lake life.

I am thrilled to embark on this journey with you, and I look forward to building lasting relationships while ensuring your smiles shine brightly. Together, let's achieve optimal oral health and create beautiful, healthy smiles.

I look forward to meeting you soon!

Dr. Michael Cappellucci, DMD

Dental Sealants

Ensuring long-term dental health involves proactive steps, one of which includes the application of dental sealants — a preventive measure we are proud to offer at Little Mountain Dentistry. Designed to fend off decay and keep cavities at bay, dental sealants act as a protective shield for the grooves and dips in your molars and premolars, areas most susceptible to plaque buildup and decay.

Your dental sealants journey begins with a thorough cleaning of the teeth destined for treatment. This step is crucial to remove any existing plaque or debris, ensuring a clean surface for the sealant to adhere to. Following this, we lightly etch the surface of each tooth to enhance the sealant’s bonding ability.

The sealant — a clear or slightly tinted liquid — is then meticulously applied to the enamel of your back teeth. It fills in the crevices and hardens, often accelerated by a special light, creating a smooth barrier over areas prone to cavities. This barrier effectively protects against plaque and food particles, significantly reducing the risk of decay.

Choosing dental sealants comes with several advantages:

A proactive measure to prevent surface cavities
A swift and comfortable treatment, with no downtime
Durable protection that can last for many years with proper care
Safeguards your dental health by maintaining the integrity of tooth enamel
Suitable for both children and adults, providing a universal solution for cavity prevention

Dental sealants are an excellent way to enhance your preventive dental care strategy, offering a straightforward solution to keep cavities at arm’s length, particularly for younger patients and those prone to dental decay.
