Patient Comfort and State-of-the-Art Technology

We subscribe to state-of-the-art techniques, equipment and procedures to provide you with dental care that is characterized by excellence and comfort. Here are some of the innovations that we put to work for you:

Sedation Dentistry - We can perform difficult or extensive procedures while you sleep lightly. You will find your treatment is performed more comfortably than you ever thought possible. Both doctors have completed advanced training with D.O.C.S. (Dental Organization for Conscious Sedation) and are both active members of this organization. For anxious or fearful patients, this new treatment is a miracle. Sedation Dentistry is as simple as taking a pill. Call us today if you would like to schedule a sedation dentistry consult.

Patient Education - we utilize digital imaging, intra-oral cameras and our Caesy Patient Education system to help our patients better understand their oral health


State of the Art Technology :

Digital Radiography - We've recently added filmless radiography to our office. This technology allows us to reduce radiation exposure between 60-90%. This technology allows for instant on-screen images which reduces our patients treatment time.

Cerec 3 - This revolutionary technology allows us to offer our patients single appointment ceramic crowns, inlays and onlays. Utilizing cad/cam technology, we can now restore damaged teeth in a single visit. The result is a beautiful, natural colored restorations that are long lasting and durable.

Diode Laser - We're most excited about its use in our hygiene department to help treat gum disease. From our patients' point of view, the biggest advantage is increased comfort with many procedures and its use requires minimal or no anesthetic.

The Wand - A computer controlled anesthetic delivery system allows for more comfortable delivery of dental anesthetic for dental procedures.

Patient Comfort Measures - we offer DVD players, blankets, neck pillows, soothing music or a movie if you choose.


Cosmetic Services

When it comes to cosmetic dentistry, we believe that "form meets function." We strive to create beautiful smiles that are also healthy and long lasting.

Another very important aspect to cosmetic services is communication. Smiles are unique and very personal! It is our job to listen to you talk about your needs and desires. Your feedback is critical to the formation of possible cosmetic options.

We offer the following cosmetic services:
InvisalignTM (clear braces)
Tooth-colored fillings
Porcelain veneers
Zoom Whitening
Bonding
All-porcelain Crowns, Onlays and Inlays performed in a single visit with our Cerec 3

Restorative Services We offer comprehensive restorative services. We believe in spending time with our patients to find out what their goals are and then create a custom plan to help the patient achieve those goals. We emphasize patient education so that you can make informed decisions about your dental health.


Preventive Care Services Our philosophy about dentistry can be summed up in 5 words: we treat the whole mouth. In other words, we will provide you with "The Big Picture," a comprehensive diagnosis that reveals any current concerns while also forecasting any possible future problems. In this way, you will have various options for achieving optimal dental health.

We offer the following preventive care services:
Regular cleanings/hygiene visits--- we also review and demonstrate proper techniques
Maintenance: this involves necessary follow-up care for restorative or cosmetic procedures
Patient education: we are happy to provide you with information on all aspects of dental care
Occlusal therapy to treat bite disorders: Many people do not know that the "bite does matter". Many people suffer from head, neck and facial pain (HNFP, including headaches and migraines) caused by a bite interference. if( you are a HNFP sufferer, we can analyze your bite to see if you are a candidate for occlusal therapy.
