Dr. John McManaman’s New State-Of-The-Art Orthodontic Clinic

Moncton orthodontist, Dr. John McManaman, is pleased to announce his brand new office complex at 500 Mapleton Road. A 7,000 sq. ft. facility built with every attention to detail, this new office has been thoughtfully planned with the latest developments in technology in mind. Carefully designed by Dr. McManaman, himself, who worked with a designer and an architect to execute his vision, this office offers a warm and welcoming atmosphere to patients. This new clinic is designed to suit both adolescent and adult patients and is a popular destination for adult patients seeking products such as clear/cosmetic braces and Invisalign which are clear aligners that eliminate the need for braces.

This state-of-the-art clinic boasts an open concept operating room which exudes light and comfort, and a spacious, airy waiting room containing a patient Game Arcade with two Playstation 3's and two Xbox 360's, a four-screen Internet station, a coffee bar, a contest station, and a tooth brushing alcove for patients with after-school or after-work appointments. The premises also consists of a digital X-ray room, an onsite lab, two consultation rooms complete with digital access and patient chairs, a diagnostic records room, a state-of-the-art sterilization room, and a conference centre perfect for meetings. A wall of floor-to-ceiling windows fills the entire place with daylight and its bright atmosphere offers a relaxed ambience for patients and their families. Committed to creating an environment of professionalism in combination with caring friendliness, Dr. McManaman has revolutionized the view most patients have of visits to the orthodontist.

Dr. McManaman is the visionary behind a new approach to orthodontics today. By utilizing the best in cutting-edge technology in the industry together with the latest in innovative procedures in orthodontics, he has been able to make his treatments both cost effective, and time efficient to both his patients and his staff. One of only two orthodontists in the province to make use of the Cadent Ortho CAD iQ computerized technology, as Dr. McManaman says, “This computerized software allows for greater accuracy in the placement of braces and makes for more precision in treatments, thus lessening the number of visits to the orthodontist.” Indeed, this new technology enables the patient impressions to be scanned into a computer where they can be manipulated in virtual 3D to facilitate options for the accurate placement of friction-free, titanium memory wire braces that are naturally heat-activated by the mouth to stiffen gradually for a more painless process. This wonderful program can even project the finished procedure onscreen to give patients a preview of their new look!

“I am a people person and I love working with my patients,” says Dr. McManaman. “I feel gratified by the emotional response patients have to their new look after their treatment has been completed. Half of my patients are adults who want to invest not only in their improved appearance but also in the change their new smile brings to their daily lives.” A tireless advocate of bringing the best in orthodontics to his patients across the Maritimes, Dr. McManaman also has offices in Charlottetown, P.E.I., and Summerside, P.E.I., and does consultations in Amherst and Truro, N.S.

Dr. McManaman brings to his chosen field impeccable credentials. A graduate of Mount Allison University and Dalhousie School of Dentistry, he enrolled into a dental internship at the Toronto General Hospital under the auspices of the University of Toronto. He has also specialized in orthodontics at the University of Manitoba three-year Master’s Program, and partakes of ongoing continuing educational courses. A recent recipient of the Excellence Awards for 2008, Dr. McManaman has also been recognized for his service to the community in the various sports groups he sponsors.

Dr. McManaman is joined in his new location by a team of 20 staff members who make up his “Smile Team.” They include two dental hygienists, a team of dental assistants, and managerial and scheduling staff.
