LIVINGSOCIAL.COM Deal of the Day...

   Numerous studies have shown that a person with a nice smile is viewed as more attractive, intelligent, happy, successful in their career, friendly, interesting, kind and wealthy.  Wow! One thing (and probably the most important) those studies don't take into account is the boost in self-esteem that having an attractive smile can create.  Truth be told... that is why we all work for Dr. Hansen.  That is the reason why Dr. Hansen became a dentist and then an orthodontist.  He wanted to help people by giving them the gift of a perfect smile!  This is the reason we do deals like this every so ofter... we like to offer our services and Dr. Hansen's expertise to people who would otherwise not be able to afford it.  Dr. Hansen does not want fiances to get in the way of someones happiness or oral health!   If you know anyone (or yourself) who is interested or would benefit from orthodontics please let them know about our deal of the day!

HAVE FUN!

4th Annual Pumpkin Contest Results Show...

    Like Summer our much anticipated Hansen Orthodontic pumpkin contest has, sadly, come and gone.  If you have kept up to date with the previous Hansen Orthodontics pumpkin contests (and let's be honest... if you're reading this blog, you have) then you would know it has been a very competitive and spirited contest.  From its inception (great movie) no one could have predicted how popular this contest would become.  It started out as something fun for the staff to do as a little competition (we are all very competitive) but in recent years morphed into a patient favorite.  Long story short, once the entire office drove to a mini-golf course during lunch to have an impromptu golf tournament because someone heard someone else mention to a patient that they were "the best" at putt-putt.  Of course, none of us agreed and had to prove them wrong. If you're wondering who won the putt-putt contest, don't.  The course was closed so we didn't get to play. Bummer! But if you have to know... I would have won... because I'm the best.

    As the contest has grown in popularity so has the level of creativity in pumpkin design.  This may be partly due to the fact that Dr. Hansen has put up a $100 grand prize to the winner ($50 bucks to second and a pat on the back for third) but there is no way to prove that.  Have I ever said he's a great boss?  With the added bonus of $100 in straight cash (zero of which I will be claiming on my taxes), simple Jack-O-Lanterns no longer have a place in this contest.  If you doubt me just take a look...

    I might be a little bias but that is a good looking group of pumpkins... a really really ridiculously good looking group of pumpkins.  Angry Bird, Jack in the Box, Papa Smurf, Papa Smurf's house, killer flower, gumball machine, Stay Puft and a pumpkin.. well, we all know what the pumpkin "reading" the book is doing.  This year the Hansen Orthodontics staff stepped up their game to a new level and judging from all of your comments in the office I think you agree.

    What's your favorite pumpkin? Do you think your favorite won? Are you ready to find out? Well, you're going to have to wait a few more minutes (or literally scroll down a few inches and look at the giant picture of the winning pumpkin).  Hopefully, I didn't lose anyone with that. 

    The contest lasted a few days shy of 8 weeks.  A grand total of 967 patients and family members voted.  ONLY 27 votes separated 1st from 3rd place, 12 of those separating 2nd from 1st.  Can you say photo finish?  With a grand total of 157 votes... the winner... of the 2011 Hansen Orthodontic pumpkin contest was (insert dramatic pause for suspense)...

STAY PUFT MARSHMALLOW MAN! (Made by Ryan)

Second place: Pumpkin on the John (made by Jon)

Third place: Angry Bird (made by Janell)

Fourth place: Everyone else (but probably not Chewbaka).

Thank you all for voting and we hope you enjoyed the contest as much as we did.  We truly have the best patients' in the world and I hope you're looking forward to the 2012 contest (I already know what I'm going to do).  Make sure to check the blog for contests (we will be posting them on our blog so you can do them at home), upcoming events and office news. Make sure to "Like" us on Facebook as we are always having Facebook only contests and post tons of great pictures and videos.  See you in the office!



All new...

    Breathe in... breathe out... breathe in... breathe out!  That has been the slow mantra that all of us at Hansen Orthodontics have been repeating to one another.  Why? A CRAZY last two months.  To specify, a CRAZY GOOD last two months.  As all of you know Hansen Orthodontics has been going through major renovations the past 8 weeks... new carpet, new wood floors, new paint, new lab, new front office etc etc etc!  July brought an end to the construction, clearing way for something even more awesome!  What could be more awesome than completely redoing the interior design of your office you ask?  Oh, I don't know... maybe open an entirely new office?!?! That's right... Hansen Orthodontics has opened a second location in the southwest.

(insert long pause for cheers, clapping and general hysteria)

    As of August 3, 2011 Dr. Hansen has opened up a second office (address at bottom of the page).  It was previously owned by Dr. Michael Nelson of Nelson Orthodontics.  Needless to say, we are all super excited about this.  We are expanding our services and giving people in the southwest an opportunity to receive the BEST orthodontic care in Las Vegas from the best orthodontist in Las Vegas, Dr. Hansen.  In case I lost you... I was basically saying Dr. Hansen is the best.  Oh yeah, his staff is the best too (wink wink).  Speaking of his most awesome staff, it has expanded... we now welcome Kelli, John, Adam and Sharron to the team.  They are all very hard workers and mesh perfectly with the rest of us. 

Check out the website for pictures of the new office!  

Construction continues....

Day 14: PAINT DAY.  Bye-Bye white walls!  I can’t speak for everyone… but I will. =) We are all excited to get a little color in here. Even though the white walls look very clean, sterile and reminds me of an operating room it doesn’t represent our office very well. We, again I am speaking for everyone, like our patients to have those feelings when they come into the office (sans the operating room feeling) but we also want them to feel comfortable and relaxed.  Hopefully all the upgrades over the last couple weeks will help with that!  I will be posting before and after pictures when everything is completed in the next few weeks.  Stay tuned and be amazed... not Lance Burton amazed but “Wow! The office looks way better” amazed.

Office Construction

Demolition Day 2011.  Today is the first day of the new and improved Hansen Orthodontics!  We are marking our front office extend out into the waiting room as well as creating a new, state-of-the-art lab.  Once that is complete we will be laying down wood floors, new carpet and paint.  Stay tuned because I will be posting pictures!

Last month wrap up...

Okay... I know I havent written anything in awhile so here is everything that is going on in the office.  Disneyland was AMAZING.  We all had a great time.  We left Las Vegas at 5 A.M. and arrived at Disneyland shortly after 9:30 just in time for Disneyland to open!  We didnt get home until 2 A.M. the next morning.  We were all tired by the end of the day but to sum it up in a few words... 24 hours of fun! I promise to post pictures very soon.

Pool party planning is in full swing.  We booked the YMCA from 6:30-9pm on July 15th.  We rented out the entire pool... just for our patients!  Its going to be AWESOME!  We will have food, music and tons of contests and prizes.  Start working on your cannon ball boy now boys and girls because you have 6 weeks to prepare. =)
