Patient Care

• Given that some patients fear traditional anesthetic needles and syringes, we offer a convenient, gentle solution — the Wand. The Wand is controlled by a small computer microprocessor designed to release a steady flow of anesthetic to the patient. With the anesthesia released at regular intervals. there is almost no pain and only minimal, if any, discomfort.

• Sit back, relax, and watch a movie through our virtual reality movie glasses with sound provided by our Bose Headphones. These special glasses let you watch the movie while having treatment done, with the headphones canceling out any noise.

• For patients with dental anxiety, we offer nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas. Nitrous oxide is perhaps the safest sedative in dentistry. It is non-addictive, mild, easily taken, and then quickly eliminated by the body. You remain fully conscious and keep all natural reflexes while breathing nitrous oxide.

• Our Intraoral Camera utilizing the latest digital technology allows you to view exactly what the doctor sees, helping you make informed decisions about your treatment.

• Our patients' safety is our number-one priority. We practice universal precautions as recommended by the American Dental Association and OSHA. All of our instruments and hand pieces (drills) are autoclaved under the strictest controls. The few items that cannot be autoclaved are either disposable or cold sterilized using chemical solutions. Our staff is trained in the strictest sterilization standards.

Cosmetic Dentistry

• LUMINEERS are contact lens-thin porcelain veneers bonded to the front of your teeth, creating beautiful smiles while preserving natural tooth structure. Since there is no tooth preparation there is no need for numbing or removing sensitive tooth structure. LUMINEERS are great for correcting discoloration, permanent stains, gaps and minor crowding.

• An implant is a natural looking and feeling restoration that we use to replace missing teeth. They can be used to replace single or multiple teeth or used to stabilize dentures. Once placed, implants require regular homecare and cleanings by a hygienist. With proper care, implants can be a life-long solution to replacing missing teeth and beautifying your smile.
