Implant Surgery:

The standard today for replacing missing teeth involves the placement of dental implants. A titanium "root" is placed and integrated within the bone and forms a solid foundation for esthetic reconstruction.

Laser Dentistry:

Laser treatment of tissues allows for quick bloodless treatment that allows for faster healing and increased comfort over traditional methods. It increases the effectiveness of periodontal treatment. Lasers aid the effectiveness of bleaching materials and reduce the time it takes to get your teeth as bright as can be.

Chemiluminescent Oral Cancer Detection:

Early detection of oral cancer is critical to the overall success of treatment. Our doctors are dedicated to provide you with the most current Oral Cancer diagnostic aids. The use of chemiluminescence is a reliable tool in diagnosing oral cancer in its very early stages, and yearly screenings are incorporated in your care at our office.

Sleep Apnea Study Solutions:

Obstructive sleep apnea affects the way you breathe when sleeping. This occurs when the soft tissue at the back of your throat relaxes during sleep, causing a blockage of the airway, as well as loud snoring. This not only affects your sleep rhythm, but your overall well-being. Our doctors can offer solutions such as a dental device worn while sleeping that repositions your jaw and tongue to keep the airway open.

Digital Radiography and Panoramic Imaging:

Aside from significantly lower radiation dosage digital technology allows for image enhancements. This aids the trained eye in detecting decay while it is still small. The result is a longer lasting restoration. It also results in greater patient comfort and shorter treatment times.

A complete evaluation of the oral cavity and associated sinuses is possible with a panoramic image. It is the standard of care and a valuable diagnostic tool that images the entire jaw and joints at once. The radiographs produced are also used to study orthodontic and periodontal conditions. They will disclose areas of disease concern and allow measurements for implant placement.

Intra-Oral Photography:

Magnification and lighting are paramount in finding problems invisible to the un-aided eye. Photographic images are immediately displayed for patient / doctor co-diagnosis.

Diagnodent:

Certain lesions can be detected even before they are seen on an X-ray. The Diagnodent is a laser light that penetrates enamel and searches the dentin below for early demineralization (decay).

Digital Smile Enhancement:

A pleasing and radiant smile is a complex combination of form and function. Tooth color, shape, position and size all influence the way a smile is perceived. Where extreme changes are foreseen or desired, photographs are taken and digitally enhanced. Our doctors can change the color shape of the teeth, re-contour the gingiva and display the creative changes envision for the patient. Examples of this work can be seen in our Cosmetic Gallery.

I-Glasses:

Dentistry should NOT be a painful process nor should it be a boring or imposing one. I-Glasses allow patients to remain otherwise engaged and entertained while in the dental chair. Watching a DVD during treatment allows for a much more entertaining and a less tedious dental procedure.
