IS THIS REALLY A DENTIST'S OFFICE?

Our entire practice atmosphere is designed to help you relax.

Warm colors. Comfortable surrounding. Electronic diversions. Friendly,
attentive staff. All focused on your comfort.

Our goal is to deliver care unlike anything you have previously
experienced at the dentist. At our office, you are more than a patient, you
are our guest!

So, you may ask, how do we do it?

• Flat Screen Televisions in every treatment room can either "take you away" or "keep you in tune" with the world.
• Dark glasses to protect you from the glare of those bright dental lights.
• Personal CD players are available for your use with a large variety of CDs to choose from - or bring your own!.
• Hot towels, lip balm, and ibuprofen at the conclusion of the visit confirm that we provide the most comfortable dental visit available.

Our practice was designed around two guiding principles, your comfort and cutting-edge technology. Here is how we maximize these concepts for your benefit:

• The Comfort Control Syringe. This "magic wand" is a computer controlled machine that makes dental injections virtually PAINLESS.
• Air Abrasion. Use of essentially a "microscopic sandblaster" allows removal of dental decay usually without any numbing. As a patient you will feel a gentle spray of an air and powder instead of the vibration and heat caused by traditional dental drills. Air abrasion combined with tooth colored fillings is more precise, less invasive, and cosmetically superior than treatment with traditional drills and silver mercury fillings.
• Nitrous Oxide Gas. Although not new, nitrous oxide (a.k.a. "laughing gas") is available.
• Oral Sleep Sedation (medication to help you relax, if needed)

• Intra-oral Camera. Ever wondered what the dentist was really seeing while looking in your mouth? We use an ultra-small digital camera connected to a TV monitor to show you the state of your teeth. Understanding what is really wrong, how it can be fixed, and seeing the results. Now that is comfort.
• Computerized Smile Imaging . A high tech "morph" of what your smile could look like with proposed treatment.

• DIAGNOdent. This new high-tech laser system can detect tooth decay in its early stages. Treating "cavities" found by this laser fixes problems when they are small, before they reach "root canal and crown" proportions.
• Power Whitening. One of our most popular cosmetic procedures, this in-office tooth whitening yields dramatic results in a short time. Combine a bleaching gel, the energy of light, and a one hour office visit and you will leave with a brighter, whiter smile.

• Digital radiography. New systems allow taking x-rays that display on a computer monitor. Not only can you see your x-rays better but you will be exposed to 90% less radiation than traditional x-rays.
