Your Comfort
Our Technology
Personal Entertainment
Personal video display and headphones are waiting for you. Time will fly as you relax and watch your favorite movies or shows. Netflix, Amazon Prime Videos, and Pandora are available, all the while we work on perfecting your smile.
3D X-rays – CT Scanner
This is the latest technology in dental digital radiography. Taking a 3 dimensional x-ray allows us to plan and develop a plan, minimizing unexpected surprises without ever having to do surgery.
Nitrous Gas – Sedation
All of our treatment areas are setup with funny gas, or Nitrous oxide, and it works safely and effectively to reduce anxiety and stress off of any appointment. With this form of sedation, you are able to come to your visit and drive home after without an escort.
Intra-oral Photography
Taking photographic images is a great tool for understanding what is happening in the mouth. The images we capture allows all of us to see where problem areas are, and as a result we can direct you how to prevent future problems from occurring in the first place.
Dental Laser
Lasers allow us to perform less invasive surgeries. Frenectomy to eliminate lip and tongue ties can be performed quickly and effectively utilizing a cutting laser. Disinfection of deep pockets, desensitization of exposed root surfaces, and minimizing duration and re-occurrence of cold sores are just a few applications.
Oral Sedation
When anxiety of dental care is difficult to over come, we recommend oral sedation. Oral sedation is a very effective way to reduce stress and anxiety of dental procedures. Most gently fall asleep, and have little memory of treatment.
