Gentle Dentistry Expert Dr. Monica M. Pierpan, D.D.S. & Dr. Henry Pierpan, D.D.S. of Hampstead Shares Dental Anxiety Solutions for HelloNation

Published

on

HAMPSTEAD, N.C., Aug. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Why do so many people still feel nervous about going to the dentist—and how can that change? According to a HelloNation article, modern dental offices are reimagining the patient experience through compassion, communication, and innovation. In Hampstead, North Carolina, Dr. Monica Pierpan, D.D.S. and Dr. Henry Pierpan D.D.S., of Pierpan Family Dentistry are part of this movement toward stress-free dental care, helping patients overcome fear and feel comfortable at every appointment.

The HelloNation article explains that dental anxiety is common and can begin long before patients sit in the chair. Sounds, memories, or unfamiliar tools can all contribute to stress. However, advances in gentle dentistry are changing perceptions by focusing on comfort, connection, and confidence. Practices like Dr. Pierpan’s in Hampstead now blend modern dental technology with personalized care to help patients relax and regain trust in their dental experience.

One of the biggest shifts in care is the focus on comfort from the moment patients enter the office. Many dental practices now resemble wellness spaces rather than clinical settings. Soft lighting, soothing music, and quiet reception areas help ease tension. Patients are often offered warm blankets, personal headphones, or TV access during treatment. These simple, thoughtful touches create a calming atmosphere that turns an anxious visit into a more peaceful experience.

Technology has also transformed the comfort level of today’s dental visits. Digital scanners have replaced traditional impressions that once caused discomfort or gag reflexes. Laser dentistry allows for faster healing, less bleeding, and reduced need for anesthesia. Computer-guided numbing systems deliver local anesthesia gently and precisely, minimizing pain. According to the article, these innovations not only improve accuracy but also dramatically reduce the stress commonly associated with dental procedures.

Clear, consistent communication is another key part of dental anxiety solutions in Hampstead NC. Dr. Monica M. Pierpan and her team prioritize explaining each step of treatment in simple, reassuring terms. By describing what to expect and checking in frequently, dentists help patients feel in control. This transparency can make a significant difference for individuals who have avoided dental care in the past. When patients understand what’s happening, their confidence increases, and fear often fades.

For those who experience stronger anxiety, sedation dentistry offers additional comfort. Techniques such as nitrous oxide (commonly known as laughing gas) or oral sedation allow patients to remain relaxed yet alert during treatment. Nitrous oxide works quickly and wears off within minutes after the appointment, while oral sedation helps calm nerves before and during the visit. Both methods are safe, effective, and carefully monitored by trained professionals, allowing even the most apprehensive patients to receive needed care comfortably.

Personalized care also helps reduce anxiety. Each patient’s comfort level and communication style are different. Some appreciate extra reassurance, while others prefer quiet focus. Dentists trained in gentle care learn to read body language, offer breaks, and adapt their approach accordingly. These small acts of awareness can make the difference between a stressful appointment and a calm, successful one.

Beyond tools and techniques, the foundation of stress-free dental care lies in empathy. Many modern dental teams now receive training in anxiety management, understanding that emotional well-being is as vital as clinical skill. By listening carefully and responding with compassion, dentists create a supportive environment where patients feel respected. In Hampstead, this approach has become part of everyday dental care, encouraging residents to maintain their oral health with confidence instead of hesitation.

The article also notes that this compassionate approach has preventive benefits. When patients feel safe and comfortable, they are more likely to attend regular cleanings and address small issues early. Over time, this reduces the risk of serious problems and helps preserve long-term oral health. Comfort, communication, and empathy together create a strong foundation for consistent, positive dental experiences.

For anyone who has delayed care due to fear, modern dental anxiety solutions in Hampstead NC offer hope and healing. From cozy blankets and calming technology to clear explanations and gentle sedation, today’s dental visits focus on total patient well-being.

In Hampstead and across North Carolina, Dr. Monica M. Pierpan exemplifies this patient-first philosophy. Through compassionate care and advanced tools, she helps patients rediscover trust in dentistry and experience true comfort during every visit. When people feel safe and supported, a healthy, confident smile naturally follows.

SU GROUP HOLDINGS LIMITED RECEIVES NASDAQ STAFF DELISTING DETERMINATION AND INTENDS TO REQUEST HEARING

Published

on

By

Timely hearing request will stay suspension of trading and Form 25 filing pending Nasdaq Hearings Panel decision; approved share consolidation expected on or about August 6, 2026 may enable the Company to regain compliance prior to the hearing

HONG KONG, Aug. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — SU Group Holdings Limited (Nasdaq: SUGP) (“SU Group” or the “Company”), an integrated security-related services company in Hong Kong, today announced that on August 3, 2026, it received a written determination letter (the “Staff Determination”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), notifying the Company that Nasdaq has determined to delist the Company’s Class A ordinary shares from The Nasdaq Capital Market unless the Company timely requests a hearing before a Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”).

The Staff Determination was issued because the closing bid price of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares was below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days from June 18, 2026 through July 31, 2026, and the Company therefore did not satisfy the minimum bid price requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2).

Because the Company effected a one-for-ten share consolidation, or reverse stock split, on August 25, 2025, Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iv) provides that the Company is not eligible for the compliance period that would otherwise be available under Nasdaq’s standard minimum bid price deficiency framework. Accordingly, Nasdaq issued the Staff Determination, subject to the Company’s right to appeal the determination to the Panel.

The Company intends to timely request a hearing before the Panel pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5815(a). Consistent with the Staff Determination, a timely hearing request will stay the suspension of trading in the Company’s Class A ordinary shares and the filing of a Form 25-NSE pending the Panel’s decision.  Accordingly, the Staff Determination has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares, which will continue to trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “SUGP” during the hearing process. If the Company regains compliance with the minimum bid price requirement prior to the hearing, it may not be necessary for the Company to proceed to the Panel hearing.

In connection with its hearing request, the Company intends to present its plan to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements. The Company’s board of directors and shareholders have approved a further share consolidation at a ratio of 1-for-5, which is expected to become effective on August 6, 2026, to restore compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. If, following the share consolidation, the closing bid price of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $1.00 per share for the minimum period required under applicable Nasdaq rules, the Company may regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) and the Panel hearing may not need to proceed. The Company intends to notify Nasdaq promptly if and when it has regained compliance following the share consolidation.

There can be no assurance that the approved share consolidation will result in a sustained increase in the bid price of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares to at or above $1.00 per share, that the Company will regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement prior to the Panel hearing, that the Panel will grant the Company’s request for continued listing if a hearing proceeds, that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the applicable continued listing requirements within any period granted by the Panel, or that the Company’s Class A ordinary shares will remain listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market.

Published

on

By

HAYWARD, Calif., Aug. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Ultra Clean Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: UCTT), today reported its financial results for the second quarter ended June 26, 2026.

“UCT delivered second quarter results above the top end of our guided range reflecting strong operational execution and increasing customer demand,” said James Xiao, CEO. “The long-term outlook for semiconductor manufacturing remains compelling as AI continues to drive investment across the industry.

Second Quarter 2026 GAAP Financial Results
Total revenue was $644.9 million. Products contributed $572.7 million and Services added $72.2 million. Total gross margin was 16.1%, operating margin was 4.6%, and net income was $8.7 million or $0.19 per diluted share. This compares to total revenue of  $533.7 million, gross margin of 15.8%, operating margin of 2.1%, and net loss of $(17.9) million or $(0.40) per diluted share, in the prior quarter.

Second Quarter 2026 Non-GAAP Financial Results
On a non-GAAP basis, gross margin was 16.7%, operating margin was 7.0%, and net income was $32.3 million or $0.70 per diluted share. This compares to gross margin of 16.5%, operating margin of 5.1%, and net income of $14.5 million or $0.31 per diluted share in the prior quarter.

Third Quarter 2026 Outlook
The Company expects revenue in the range of $700 million to $750 million. The Company expects GAAP diluted net income per share to be between $0.67 and $0.87 and non-GAAP diluted net income per share to be between $0.83 and $1.03.

About Ultra Clean Holdings, Inc. 
Ultra Clean Holdings, Inc. is a leading developer and supplier of critical subsystems, components, parts, and ultra-high purity cleaning and analytical services, primarily for the semiconductor industry. Under its Products division, UCT offers its customers an integrated outsourced solution for major subassemblies, improved design-to-delivery cycle times, design for manufacturability, prototyping, and high-precision manufacturing. Under its Services Division, UCT offers its customers tool chamber parts cleaning and coating, as well as micro-contamination analytical services. Ultra Clean is headquartered in Hayward, California. Additional information is available at www.uct.com.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures
In addition to providing results that are determined in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”), management uses non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating margin and non-GAAP net income to evaluate the Company’s operating and financial results. We believe the presentation of non-GAAP results is useful to investors for analyzing our core business and business trends and comparing performance to prior periods, along with enhancing investors’ ability to view the Company’s results from management’s perspective. The presentation of this additional information should not be considered a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Tables presenting reconciliations from GAAP results to non-GAAP results are included at the end of this press release.

The Company defines non-GAAP net income as net loss before amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation, restructuring charges, debt refinancing costs, legal-related costs, unrealized loss (gain) on foreign exchange, and the tax effects of the foregoing adjustments.

A reconciliation of our guidance for non-GAAP net income per diluted share for the subsequent quarter is not available due to fluctuations in the geographic mix of our earnings from quarter to quarter, which impacts our tax rate and cannot be reasonably predicted or determined. As a result, such reconciliation is not available without unreasonable efforts and we are unable to determine the probable significance of the unavailable information.

Safe Harbor Statement 
The foregoing information contains, or may be deemed to contain, “forward-looking statements” (as defined in the US Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995) which reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. We use words such as “anticipates,” “projection,” “outlook,” “forecast,” “believes,” “plan,” “expect,” “future,” “intends,” “may,” “will,” “estimates,” “see,” “predicts,” “should” and similar expressions to identify these forward-looking statements. Forward looking statements included in this press release include our expectations about the semiconductor capital equipment market and outlook. All forward-looking statements address matters that involve risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, the Company’s actual results may differ materially from the results predicted or implied by these forward-looking statements. These risks, uncertainties and other factors also include, among others, those identified in “Risk Factors,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and elsewhere in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 26, 2025, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Ultra Clean Holdings, Inc. undertakes no obligation to publicly update or review any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise unless required by law.
