Dynamic Growth Practice Rebrands as LANCO Dental Care

May 25, 2021 by Dynamic Growth Leave a Comment

Over 40 years ago, Dr. J. Steven Gibson opened Gibson Dental Care with one mission in mind: to provide quality, patient-centered dentistry to Lancaster County and to build relationships with his patients based on trust. As Dynamic Growth carries on Dr. Gibson’s vision and the practice continues to evolve, we decided it was time for the name to better match our commitment to the Lancaster County community that we’ve had the privilege of serving. To those ends, as of March 2021, Gibson Dental Care is now officially LANCO Dental Care.

Dr. Mask Takes Over As Practice Leader

Following Dr. Gibson’s 2020 retirement, Dr. Franklin Reed Mask assumed the reins of practice leader at LANCO Dental. Dr. Mask’s career path has taken him from The University of Mississippi to The University of Pittsburgh School of Dental Medicine and then to St. Mary’s, PA before settling in bucolic Lancaster county. Dr. Mask has nearly twenty years experience in family and cosmetic dentistry, exclusively in Pennsylvania.

“It has been my pleasure and honor to meet, treat, and get to know our wonderful patients. I am thrilled to work alongside our awesome team as we become LANCO Dental Care and continue to provide the high standard of comprehensive dental care that our patients expect and deserve.”

Dr. Mask has spent the past several months juggling the practice transition amidst a global pandemic. Those efforts included not only meeting team members and existing patients, but also steering LANCO Dental through different COVID protocols based on American Dental Association (ADA) and U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidance. That attention to patient safety, coupled with marketing support from Dynamic Growth, paid off as this Spring the practice added three times the number of new patients it had added in prior years.

New Branding and Operating Solutions

The practice name change was accompanied by an updated logo, color scheme, and website. Particularly, a resources section of the website addresses various stages of the patient journey. For example, a first-visit guide, patient registration center, and detailed financing and loyalty options all aim to streamline the new patient process from awareness to chair.

In addition to the updated website, the practice continues to build on the improvements that it made in 2020. That includes participating with dental insurances, enabling online bill payments, and adding both evening and Saturday hours to enhance patient convenience. Each of these changes reflects LANCO Dental Care’s ongoing commitment to best serving the current needs of its Lancaster County community.

A Team Effort

The entire team at LANCO Dental has worked together to make the transition possible, and they anticipate making Lancaster smile under the new LANCO name. Shelly, Elaine, Mandi, Lea, Samantha, Chloe and Shonda continue to provide care as they work alongside Dr. Mask. While their name and leader has changed, the practice continues to provide the gold standard of care Lancastorians have come to expect from Gibson Dental Care, provided by the same great team, at the same location, as LANCO Dental Care.

Time to go back to the dentist, and why you never should've stopped in the first place

– by Andrew Kulp akulp@readingeagle.com @KulpSays on Twitter, March 23, 2021

If you’ve been putting off your regularly scheduled visit to the dentist because of the coronavirus, it might be time to reconsider. Skipping your six-month check-up and cleaning leads to predictably worse results whenever you do finally return. The reality is dentistry was among the most well-prepared industries to cope with an airborne illness like COVID-19.

“We were already dealing with splatters and saliva and blood,” said Dr. Jeffrey Grove, owner and chief clinical officer of Grove Dental Group in Wyomissing. “We’ve always had to be aware of droplets in the air, patients breathing, coughing, sneezing and those things, and that’s the main way COVID is spread.”

Though it might seem counter to logic and common sense when people are literally working inside your mouth, research indicates the risk of being infected at the dentist is minute…

Grove Dental Group and Orthodontics now includes 13 dentists and over 40 hygienists and supporting staff

Dr. Alwakeel is the 9th dentist added at Dynamic Growth Dental Support practices in the last six months

Grove Dental Group and Orthodontics in Wyomissing, PA, recently announce the addition of Dr. Mostafa Alwakeel, D.M.D. to their growing team. Dr. Alwakeel’s experience in surgical procedures and complete dental implant surgery allows him to offer an incredible range of services in-house, including surgical dental implants, extractions including wisdom teeth, periodontal surgery, cosmetic gum surgery and grafting, frenectomy, sinus lifts, bone grafting and implants on all sites. He can also perform biopsies on suspect lesions.

Balancing the Cosmetic and Restorative

Dr. Alwakeel prides himself on providing gentle, comfortable care to all of his patients in a compassionate bedside manner. Believing that dentistry goes beyond the functional and into the artistic realm, he takes special care in proving his patients with a smile that not only serves them functionally but they take pride in as well. Often complex dental procedures lie between cosmetic and restorative, and Dr. Alwakeel is devoted to providing the best of both in each procedure.

Dr. Alwakeel graduated Summa Cum Laude from Temple University, Kornberg School of Dentistry, after completing his Fellowship in Advanced Surgical Implant Dentistry (Advanced Clinical Training Program) at UCLA. Dr. Alwakeel also holds a master’s degree and a certificate in Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery from Al-Azhar University, a certificate in Hospital Management from Ain-Shames University, and a bachelor’s degree in Oral & Dental Medicine and Surgery from Suez Canal University.

Ninth New Dentist for Dynamic Growth Practices

Dynamic Growth Dental Support has made good on its name, as Dr. Alwakeel’s start means the group has now added nine new doctors over the past six months in the midst of the global COVID-19 pandemic. The additions — complementing our existing staff at six different locations — highlight our commitment to building a premier dental group in the region. Recent moves also include a new practice launch in Chester Springs, PA, named Byers Station Dental.

Dynamic Growth Hosts Grand Opening and Ribbon Cutting

November 11, 2020 by Dynamic Growth Leave a Comment

Dynamic Growth Dental Support has made good on its name, launching its first de novo practice in Chester Springs, PA. With the guidance of the Chester County Chamber of Business and Industry, the Byers Station Dental team hosted a small, socially-distanced grand opening on September 14. Practice leader Dr. Rachel Moon cut the ribbon and officially launched the gorgeous new office. The addition marks the fourth practice Dynamic Growth has added in the past year.

Ribbon Cutting Event at Byers Station

The Dynamic Growth leadership team hosted the ribbon-cutting ceremony and open house to celebrate the launch at the newly renovated office housed within an historic building. It was a small gathering due to COVID-19 guidelines, with team members from our Wellsboro, PA practice and members of the Chester County Chamber of Business and Industry joining new practice staff.

Most of the event was held outside but after Dr. Grove’s remarks and ribbon-cutting ceremony guests enjoyed light refreshments before taking a tour of the newly remodeled facility. The practice provides four operatories for treatment, surgeries, and periodontics and orthodontic services. Staff and guests were impressed by the advanced imaging tools as well as the re-supply and instrument management areas, all of which ensures that Byers Station opens at the cutting edge of dental technology. The leadership team also introduced hygienist, Ashley Bass, and office manager, Brandy Valdivieso, who join Dr. Moon at the new location.

Dental Services Return to Chester Springs

Byers Station Dental now provides general and family dentistry services, including cosmetic dentistry, restorative treatment, and Invisalign to the local communities. Locals will instantly recognize the picturesque office with its signature copper cupola and unique architecture in the well-preserved, historic location. As part of the practice’s commitment to providing an elevated patient experience alongside outstanding clinical care, state-of-the-art operatory and sterilization suites were installed in the renovated facility.

The practice is led by Dr. Rachel Moon, a Temple University Kornberg School of Dentistry alumna, who brings years of experience to the office and the surrounding communities. “I am thrilled to have the opportunity to participate in the opening of Byers Station Dental. This is a unique situation where a practice is reopening after being idle for some time,” relayed Dr. Moon. To provide added convenience to the communities they serve, the practice offers extensive evening and weekend hours, online booking capabilities, and is in-network with a number of dental insurers. Continued Dr. Moon, “it is exciting to be able to provide dental service in the Chester Springs area once again. I am looking forward to meeting new patients and welcoming back existing patients from the previous practice.”

After the ribbon cutting, the practice team also introduced some of the fun events they have planned for throughout the year. These include giveaway partnerships with local small businesses, patient contests, and commitments to enrich the local community through donations and sponsorships. The practice also features an active social media presence where it provides dental tips, news, events, and links to the aforementioned contests and community activities. The first patients were seen at the office in September.
