Sedation / Anxiety Free Dentistry
Are you apprehensive about going to the dentist? Have you put off dental care for years because of dental anxieties? Would you enjoy having your entire dental needs taken care of and afterwards remember very little about your visit? Research shows that many patients face their dental appointment with some degree of fear and apprehension. In our personalized approach, we offer several ways to assist you in receiving treatment while remaining relaxed.

From topical and local anesthetic for pain free care, to oral medications, we promise to do everything we can to make sure that you are as comfortable as possible when you receive our high quality care. During your visit, we can discuss these options with you and create your personalized treatment plan for relaxing and worry free dental care.

Inlays/Onlays
Have you ever noticed dark, unattractive old fillings that show when you smile or laugh? Porcelain Inlays and Onlays are a simple painless solutions to help you create a beautiful smile.

Inlays and Onlays are high quality restorations made of porcelain, extremely strong, long lasting and they help restore and protect the tooth against further damage. An Inlay covers only one or two surfaces of the damaged tooth and is used to restore a small amount of decay. An Onlay actually covers more areas of the tooth, generating a wider area of restoration.

Almost any unsightly silver or gold filling can be replaced with a beautiful porcelain Inlay in just two visits. If you want to smile with confidence, inlays and onlays are your esthetic and enduring choice!

Composites / Tooth Colored Fillings
Composites, also known as colored fillings, are designed to match the natural appearance of your teeth. They are used to restore a decayed tooth instead of mercury silver fillings that tend to darken the tooth and leak over time. For example, once the decayed portion of the tooth is removed, we will place several layers of the tooth-colored composite onto this tooth to return it to a natural, beautiful shape.

Composite fillings, like the fillings you are used to, are prepared and placed in just one visit. We recommend using them and consider them the standard of care today; much like mercury silver fillings were used in the past.

Diagnodent
Thanks to advanced technology, lasers can help detect unseen decay long before other conventional mehods. Introducing the Diagnodent - a gentle and completely safe procedure.

The Diagnodent uses a low-intensity laser to locate hidden decay - much like a metal detector locates to metal object hidden in the ground. Even very small cavities are detected at the earliest stage, enabling us to preseve and protect more of your tooth substance. This breakthough technology has been proven to be virtually 100% accurate. Your hygienist will be discussing the benefits of using the Diagnodent during your cleaning visit.

Oral Cancer Detection
Oral cancer is one of the most deadly kinds of cancer claiming more lives each year than cervical or skin cancer. Our practices conduct an oral cancer screening for all our new patients. The oral exam is non-invasive, requires no anesthetic and takes just a few minutes. A new process known as an oral brush biopsy allows us to easily determine whether a questionable lesion is canerous. Results are known quickly with an extraordinary high degree of accuracy. It's one less thing for you to worry about and early detection could save your life.

Periodonatal Care
Periodontal disease or gum disease effects millions of Americans. It is often a painless infection of the tissues surrounding and supporting the teeth and is the largest cause of tooth loss in adults. Patients do not even know they have periodontal disease. Since it can lead to serious complications like tooth loss it is important that it is diagnosed and treated. Recent studies also suggest possible relationships between periodontal infection and heart disease, diabetes and increased coincidence of pre-term low birth weight babies.

Signs and symptoms of periodontal disease include bleeding, swollen or tender gums, bad breath that doesn't go away, loose teeth, pus between your teeth and gums, or a change in the way your teeth hit together.

We have found the most effective and interceptive treatment is to perform scaling and root planing (deep cleaning above and below the gum line) in conjunction with a locally administered antibiotic treatment. Our offices utilize a new antibiotic called Arestin that has been approved by the FDA. The Arestin therapy is fast, easy and comfortable. One Arestin is applied, it releases the antibiotic gradually for up to twenty-one days.

Sterilization
Before you say "Ahhh" in the dentist's chair, do you ever wonder about those instruments that are about to be placed in your mouth? Because of the risk of infection, we maintain rigorous internal standards for every person in the office to disenfect their hands between each patient and follow strict OSHA guidelines for instrument sterilization.

Disposable gloves are worn by all personnel when examining a patient and changed after each exam. When personnel leave the room to check an x-ray, the gloves are replaced. Masks are always worn to protect against airborne contaminates.

Behind the scenes many of the products used in the offices go through independent sterilization procedures in the packaging. In additon, any equipment that actually touches the patient has a plastic sheath to ensure continued purity. This is true of the most advanced dental supplies all the way down to the toothbrush you receive at the end of your visit.

Our dental offices continue to stay informed of the latest changes in sterilization techniques. If you have any questions, feel free to call or e-mail us. We want to make sure you feel secure and comfortable when you come in for your examination.
