Digital X-rays
Our x-rays are digital thus eliminating as much as 75% of all
harmful radiation. With digital x-rays, patients receive considerably
less radiation exposure. They also allow us to diagnose teeth with
greater detail and clarity. In addition, taking x-rays are instant.
There is no time waiting for them to be developed. For more

Procedures
Whitening
One of our goals is to get you that great smile. Whitening is a
bleaching process that reverses the discoloration that comes with
age, caffeine stains, tobacco stains, etc. No natural tooth structure
is lost. There are two types of whitening available. With Zoom
whitening your teeth can be dramatically whitened in about an hour.
For those wanting to whiten teeth at his/her own pace, take home
whitening is another option Custom fit trays are made, the
prescription whitening agent and a kit are given to the patient to be
done for a few hours a day at home. For more information about
Zoom, visit www.zoomnow.com.
Invisalign
If you've ever wanted straighter teeth, but dreaded the metal
brackets, then Invisalign is the only other option. Clear
unnoticeable trays (aligners) are worn throughout the day and
removed during eating, brushing, and when special occasions
demand it. Teeth are moved by replacing aligners every two
weeks. For more information, visit www.invisalign.com.
Cosmetics
With the advancement in materials, we can now do all porcelain
restorations such as crowns and veneers. Porcelain allows for
natural looking and cosmetic looking teeth. Crowns are needed
when tooth structure is compromised and need for strengthening
the tooth exists. Veneers are a thin porcelain shell bonded to the
surfaces of teeth correcting esthetic problems. Composites are the
"white fillings" used to restore teeth replacing the traditional
amalgam silver. Of course, the option for traditional materials
remain.
Dentures
Traditional dentures have metal hooks on them allowing people to
see that your wearing dentures. Valplast dentures eliminate metal
hooks and use hooks that color match the gums, thus hiding them.
Valplast dentures also offer a reduction in weight. Ask our dentist if
these are right for you. To learn more about Valplast dentures click

Periodontal (Gum) Treatment
Gum disease affects 75% of adults. It has been linked to
cardiovascular diseases. It is treatable and preventable with
proper treatment and the correct home care. Severe cases require
surgery. Our office treats those cases with less invasive
procedures sometimes with the aid of medication.
Equipment
We have the latest technology dentistry has to offer. Our Sunicam,
an intraoral camera, captures detailed images of a tooth allowing
the patient to view it on their monitor. Sterilization equipment are all
new and perform above strict standards. Our treatment chairs offer
massage functions. Every chair has a flat screen monitor to keep
you informed and entertained.
Preventative
Preventing cavities and gum disease begin with proper home care.
Thorough brushing and flossing methods improve oral hygiene.
With proper instruction dental problems can be avoided.
Intraoral camera - Our
Sunicam lets the patient view
their tooth in detail.
Implant Restoration
Dental implants replace your entire tooth. They are the closest
thing to a natural tooth by restoring the look, feel, and function just
like a natural tooth. Once the replacement root, the implant, is
placed within the bone of the jaw it is now ready for the crown.
Implants can also act as anchorage for ill fitting dentures.
Digital x-rays - Instant x-rays
show up on the monitor.
