Emma Duke with her mom

Uncle Maddio’s Pizza Joint at 7805 Abercorn St #2, takes charge to help raise money for a local Savannah toddler who suffers from severe medical issues. Emma Duke, of Savannah, Ga. is not your ordinary toddler. With an immune deficiency and a severe spine abnormality, she spends many of her days in treatment and therapy. So when Uncle Maddio’s management team, learned that Emma would be going through a comprehensive surgery this summer, they leapt into action, planning a fundraiser for Emma and her medical bills.

Maddio’s manager Ashley, says “Having a child with disabilities is never easy, and the cost of treatment is even harder. We hope to make an impact on this family’s life by helping to lessen the stress of hefty medical bills.”.

Eat @ Uncle Maddio’s Tues. March 25 to help Emma

Throughout the day on March 25th, Uncle Maddio’s will donate 10% of daily sales to the Duke Family. There will also be performances from the International Coastal Youth Choir. Local musicians Amy Taylor, Hugh Russell and Gambol are all donating their time and talent for the event.

Spring Time Is a Great Time to Renew Your Smile!

Thursday, March 20th, 2014

Brad Durham Dentistry in Savannah BlufftonYou sacrifice a lot of things for your kids. If your smile was one of them, Beyond Exceptional Dentistry can help you reclaim a beautiful, youthful smile.

And there’s no time like the spring time to fix a smile that is making you unhappy and get one you will be happy to share for all the special occasions of your kids’ lives.

It’s Never Too Late to Get Straight

Many of us never had the opportunity to get braces when we were kids. Others of us either had straight teeth as kids or got braces, but they got crooked over time.

Crooked teeth can give your smile character, and if you’re happy with them, it’s great, as long as you can keep them clean and don’t get food stuck in them. But if your crooked teeth make you unhappy, you can get them straight at virtually any time in your life, as long as your mouth is generally healthy.

Invisalign is a great way to get your teeth straightened without braces. Instead of metal wires, it uses clear plastic aligners. They fit on your teeth like a mouthguard, one for the upper teeth and one for the lower, if you’re getting both straightened. They’re practically invisible, and you can remove them for eating, cleaning your teeth, or for special occasions. You wear an aligner for about two weeks, then move on to the next one.

Invisalign takes about as long as braces, but it’s a lot more convenient, comfortable, and discreet.

For getting a straight smile faster, we offer “instant orthodontics.” You can get a straight smile in less than a month! In this procedure, we don’t move your teeth, we reshape them so that they’re straight, using porcelain veneers and sometimes dental crowns.

This is also a great way to get rid of a gap between your teeth, or take care of small peg laterals or a single “snaggletooth” that makes you self-conscious about your smile.

This design has blossomed into a gracious city whose downtown has been enhanced by more than fifty years of preservation activity. Twenty-two oak-canopied squares surrounded by lovely homes and churches give Savannah a character of its own.
