Patient Services

What We Can Do

Our primary objective is to help you obtain the best possible oral health. The kind of health that lets you keep your teeth for life. And we're convinced that it's a reasonable objective, if we can convince you to take good care of your teeth at home and come in for regular check-ups. It's really as simple as that. You see, if we can catch and handle problems while they're small, we can conserve tooth structure and gum health for the long run.

Preventive Services

We insist on taking the time to carefully evaluate and thoroughly educate each and every patient we see. Our goal is to discover everything that's going on in your mouth, explaining it to you as we go along via the latest digital technology. In fact, not only do we tour your mouth with our intra-oral camera, but we display our findings right at your chairside for discussion and explanation. After all, the more you understand about your own teeth, the more reason you'll have to take care of them.

Our preventive services include:

• Cleaning/Hygiene
• Regular Checkups
• Patient Education
• Dental Sealants
• Nightguards for Bruxism
• Breath Treatment
• Soft Tissue Management Program/Gum Care

Restorative Services

When it comes to correction, we consider the whole picture of your dental health before recommending a particular restorative treatment. For example, we look first at gum health since the success of all our work rests on good periodontal health. Further, we think through both functional and formative issues…knowing that lasting correction must be not only pleasing to the eye, but effective in daily life as well. Finally, we're highly conservative: if there's a way to spare tooth structure, we'll find it.

Our restorative services include:

• Tooth Colored Filling
• Whitening
• Bonding
• All-Ceramic Crowns, Onlays, & Inlays
• Porcelain Veneers/Laminates
• Bridges
• Dentures & Partial Dentures
• Implant Restorations
• General Extractions
  

Cosmetic Services

You'd be amazed at the number of people who change their outlook dramatically, just from making a few changes in their smile.

But with today's advanced materials and techniques, there's almost an endless array of possibilities when it comes to gently enhancing or even significantly changing your smile. Just ask us for a consultation and we'll help you 'see' what we can do to help.

Technology

The longer we're in the field of dentistry, the more advances we have access to. But even in this area, we're pretty conservative. We only invest in the high tech that's going to make us highly effective in caring for patients. For example, technology can provide huge advantages in helping us see more of what's going on inside your mouth. And, we can only treat what we can see! Once we know something's there, we can diagnose more accurately, evaluate your precise situation more thoroughly, and take action more efficiently. So when you visit our office, you'll notice tools like the following:

• Intra-Oral Camera
• Digital Radiography
• Patient Education Systems
• Loupes
• Paperless Office/Chairside Computers
• Patient Comfort Measures: DVD players, nitrous oxide, oral sedation
• State of the Art Sterilization Center
