Associated Family Dental Care is a full-service dental practice. Understanding his patients’ frustration in having to visit different specialists for various procedures, Dr. Forbess has made it a point to get training in all phases of dentistry. His expertise includes cosmetic dentistry, orthodontics, implants, and general oral surgery. This wide range of expertise also allows the doctor to have more control over all aspects of a patient’s treatment.
 
AFDC is one of the first professional dental practices in the state of Kentucky to utilize the cutting-edge CadCam Dental Crown Computer. Not long ago, getting crowns required two office visits. Initially, a patient would receive a “temporary” crown, then be required to wait for as long as three weeks for the permanent crown to be created by a lab somewhere else. The CEREC System allows the patient to get their permanent crown the very same day, saving time and money for doctor and patient. No impressions are required, and the results are both comfortable and natural-looking. 

 
Dr. Billy Forbess’ partner, John Masters DDS, is also trained in several aspects of dentistry, including root canal therapy and sedation dentistry. Sedation is very effective for those who have had bad experiences in the past, are apprehensive about undergoing dental treatment, or who have a strong gag reflex. There are several options available, including oral sedation, the use of nitrous oxide, and intravenous.
 
Dr. Nakada, DMD, is the newest member of the team. Like his colleagues, he is trained in several different areas of dentistry, and was a technical advisor for the Kentucky College of Dentistry during his four years in attendance.
 

The best way to get acquainted with Drs. Forbess, Masters and Nakada is to visit them on the World Wide Web. Their very comprehensive and impressive website includes dramatic “before and after” pictures of patients with whom they have worked, as well as an online virtual “tour” of the office and full contact information, including directions to their office. In addition, prospective patients can download the standard medical history questionnaire in Adobe Acrobat .pdf format, print it and fill it out prior to their initial office visit. Because of the nature of the U.S. healthcare “system,” their business office is very understanding and flexible about payment. Their treatment coordinator has a multitude of financing options available, and can arrange one tailored to a given patient’s specific needs. Those fortunate enough to be insured will find that AFDC processes claims and works with insurance providers to make certain patients get the maximum benefit from their plans.
