AdventHealth North Pinellas Unveils Renovated, Expanded Lobby

Leaders at AdventHealth North Pinellas celebrated the opening of its newlyrenovated lobby. The project is part of a $22million, multi-year comprehensive expansion designed to meet the growing need for worldclass care in Pinellas County and its surrounding communities.

Patients and visitors will be greeted by a much larger, warm, and inviting space that promotes healing. The new lobby also features amenities like a a reflection lounge with a community-inspired painting called “Beautiful Historic Springs,” by renowned artist Christoper Still.

Phase two of the lobby expansion will include a cafe, gift shop, and chapel. The project was thanks to more than 100 donors who contributed to the AdventHealth North Pinellas Foundation.

Palm Harbor office in 1983 with the goal to treat patients like family, while ensuring their oral health needs are cared for. As the practice grew, we expanded to six locations across Tampa Bay, including Palm Harbor, Clearwater, Spring Hill, New Port Richey, Trinity, and Tampa. Our dynamic, surgical-based, multispecialty team consists of Dr. Michael A. Pikos, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon; Dr. Kenneth L. Anderson III, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon; Dr. Nicole Hernandez, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon and MD; Dr. Austin L. Lyman, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon; Dr. Lindsey Pikos Rosati, Periodontist; Dr. Anthony M. Pikos, Periodontist; and Dr. Philip J. Hedger, Prosthodontist.

We are all committed to the practice’s mission to provide exceptional dental care, under one roof, while creating a safe, welcoming environment to make all patients feel like family. The practice offers a wide range of services including Same Day Teeth®, traditional dental implants, Zygomatic implants, oral surgery, and periodontal services.

Same Day Teeth® is an innovative surgical procedure that bypasses the traditional dental implant’s time-consuming process and allows for the placement of implants and new teeth to occur on the very same day. Same Day Teeth® protocol begins with a 3D cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scan, which will provide us with 3D images of your bone, nerve pathways, soft tissues, and teeth. This allows us to determine the optimal placement of your implants, using the best digital assessment software and related state-of-the-art technology, to ensure your treatment is truly customized. Most service providers, especially corporate-based providers, treat everyone the same way - with a one-sizefits-all mentality. But not at Coastal Jaw Surgery! You are as unique as your fingerprint and as a result, we draw from a variety of digital-based, precision solutions to give you a customized, beautiful, and natural smile which restores your ability to eat and chew the foods you love. Our unique approach not only includes a comprehensive treatment plan for each patient, but also a thorough and detailed explanation.

“The best around, not only in Florida, but I am convinced the best in the nation”, states Nicholas Louis. Nicholas received traditional dental implants for his Same Day Teeth® procedure. Dental implants are artificial tooth roots surgically placed in your jaw to support replacement teeth. These replacement teeth are designed to look and feel like your natural teeth, restore the aesthetic appearance of your smile, provide optimal functionality, and reduce your risk of developing other oral health issues. Coastal Jaw Surgery

offers several dental implant options to ensure your smile is natural and custom to you.

Same Day Teeth® offers patients a beautiful, natural smile completed on the same day with the use of dental implants, zygomatic implants, or subperiosteal implants. Patients who are missing teeth in their upper jaw, or whose teeth have broken down due to advanced periodontal disease, may be good candidates for zygomatic dental implants. These implants are longer and anchored in the upper jawbone near the zygoma bone. Patients who are experiencing significant bone loss in the lower jaw may be good candidates for subperiosteal implants. This type of implant must be custom-made to fit the contours of a patient’s bone.

Plus, Coastal Jaw Surgery is recognized as the first ZAGA Center in North America. This is a prestigious distinction, as there are only 60 centers throughout the world, each of which is recognized as a Zygomatic Implant Specialty practice.

If you have been told you are not a candidate for dental implants due to bone loss, Coastal Jaw Surgery is the answer for you! Our doctors have the opportunity to help you with your missing teeth or ill-fitting dentures with Same Day Teeth®’s solutions to traditional dental implants. We encourage second opinions. We make sure the best treatment possible is presented to you, so the endresult gives you back your smile and self-confidence.

Our Coastal Jaw Surgery team of oral and maxillofacial surgeons, periodontists, and prosthodontist have 65 years of combined experience within the realm of implant dentistry, oral surgery, periodontics, and prosthodontics. There is no better place to go for your comprehensive dental care.

Medicare when her father had a stroke. He did not know where to get the specialized care he needed from his regular Medicare provider. With Laurie’s help, he was able to get the proper treatment to put him on the road to recovery. This incident and her husband’s later suggestion encouraged her to enter the Medicare field.

Laurie said, “I have been a licensed insurance agent for 15 years and have specialized in the intricacies of Medicare for the last 10 years.” Her husband, a financial advisor, had many older clients who were aging into Medicare. He needed someone to help his clients with their Medicare needs. It was a perfect fit for her, as, years later, her many grateful, satisfied Medicare clients today can attest to.

When I asked Laurie about the different sections of Medicare and what coverage they provide, she said that each portion represented a specific area of Medicare coverage

As I understand it, Part A refers to the coverage for hospital stays and includes 80% of the costs incurred. Part B is similar but covers expenses for services outside of hospital stays, not including drugs. Again, the same 80% limit applies.

Part C relates to Medi-

care plans. Major healthcare companies offer a variety of individual programs that include the benefits of all parts of Medicare, and additional coverage that might include dental, vision, and gym memberships, to name just a few of the many possible additional benefits offered by the individual plans.

Part D refers to coverage for prescription drugs and medicines. Many of these programs include mail options from their online pharmacies. It is a tiered system and drug costs rise as various medications are found on a higher tier

This is just a brief layman’s view of what I understand about Medicare and its options. If you have any questions, you should be talking to Laurie Champion, your local Medicare adviser. She is the expert and can explain the Medicare process in terms that everyone can understand. She periodically conducts group presentations in easyto-understand language. She represents one of the largest Medicare health care insurance providers in the country with some of the most comprehensive Medicare Advantage, and supplement programs, and benefits available anywhere.

Do not worry if you are not available to attend one of her group meetings that explain Medicare. Laurie also offers one-on-one, in-home consultations if you contact her in advance at 727 741 2481. Visit her website at www.MyUHCagent.com/laurie.champion for more information.

In addition to the group presentations, and one-onone meetings, Laurie also offers virtual meetings to accommodate any less mobile clients’ needs. “My clients,” she said, “are extremely important to me. I treat them the way I want to be treated.” This confirms her willingness to go the extra mile for her clients.

Laurie stresses Medicare education with all her clients. That way, she keeps them up to date about any current changes to the program. Clients can feel confident when they choose one of her Medicare plans that best meets their individual healthcare needs.

There are many Medicare agents available around the country, but Laurie is your local, knowledgeable, and professional one. She is conveniently located to anyone in the Tampa Bay area and professionally serves all her clients. If you

miss the initial Medicare enrollment period, contact Laurie. She might be able to help. There is nothing to lose but a phone call and a minute of your time. Call 727 741 2481 today for your peace of mind tomorrow
