Now You See It, Now You Don't: Contemporary Dental Advances

Drill-less Microabrasion Dentistry: A gentle, focused beam of Aluminum Oxide powder allows us to remove decay without anesthesia, pain, or drilling. Sealants are done much more effectively with this advanced method of dentistry as we can be sure that all of the bacteria and stain are removed prior to coverage. It's quick and easy for people of all ages!

One-Hour Power Whitening: In as little as one hour, your discolored teeth will be noticeably whiter and brighter. Some candidates can see up to 9 shade changes in their teeth. As with tanning and hair coloring, we recommend you "touch up" your smile with tray whitening once every 6 months for an hour to maintain maximum results. Note: not for people with temperature sensitive teeth or gum recession. Some may need more than one visit to achieve their whitest smile.

Instant Orthodontics: If you don't want to spend the years in orthodontic brackets and want whiter, shapelier teeth at the same time you get straighter, more even teeth then a smile makeover is what you're looking for in terms of "instant gratification". Depending on the person's bite, we can sometimes complete a makeover miracle in as little as two office visits!

Teeth that are spaced, crowded, misshapen, worn, or severely discolored get instant appeal after the initial appointment when the temporaries are placed. A premier lab artisan creates your new smile to be everything you ever dreamed it could be. Generally, ceramic veneers (ultra-thin sculpted pieces of tooth shaped material) are fabricated to fit over your front teeth. These are the most elite and long-lasting alternative to enhance your smile image.

Unlike crowns or caps, veneers don't require the removal of much tooth structure. Another benefit is that they don't stain. And depending on your bite, home, and professional dental care, they may last up to 15 years making them an exceptional value for you.

Cosmetic Computer Imaging: Simply stated "a picture is worth a thousand words", and that is just what a before and after photo does for your peace of mind. We reproduce a digital photograph of your to simulate how you could look with a brighter, straighter smile as compared to the smile you now have. This allows you to see the possible outcome before committing to care. We can also do 3-D mockups upon request and literally "try on" the likeness of a new smile. We simply add tooth-colored filling material to your spaces or overlapped areas to simulate the ideal effect.

Intra-oral Camera: A technological advancement that allows you to see exactly what we do. The image permits visualization of before and after care, it allows you to join in discussion of our observations, and it also promotes better understanding of your oral health needs. After viewing their own personal pictures of their teeth, the patient can better make an educated decision about treatment.

Ultrasonic State-of-the-Art Hygiene Care: Ultra-slim, ultrasonic tips promote better gum therapy for our patients with a history of gum disease. The procedure is painless and faster than solely using hand instruments. Irrigation with bactericidal rinses also speeds healing and helps remove toxins below the gum line. We also have a minty, baking soda spray, prophy jet, that quickly and comfortably powers off extrinsic stains on teeth without using the traditional polishing method (we do offer both, your choice). This is especially helpful for those in braces.
