Our Office

We have recently moved into a new office. Our new location, just down the street from our old office, incorporates the same amenities that we have always offered our patients. In our new, state-of-the-art facility, we provide the latest equipment and advanced dental procedures, and amenities such as satellite televisions, comfortable chairs, and soothing décor.

We make patient comfort a top priority, and offer many amenities to help put you at ease. We create a relaxing, friendly environment where families and individuals can feel welcome and confident about the dental care they receive.

Sedation Dentistry

We know that many people experience anxiety when they visit the dentist. We don’t want fear to prevent you from having the healthy and beautiful smile you have always wanted. That’s why we offer sedation dentistry for our patients who want to remain completely relaxed and comfortable during treatments. Sedation with nitrous oxide gas, commonly known as laughing gas, allows you to remain conscious during procedures and able to respond to requests, yet be in a relaxed, sedated state which will ensure your complete comfort.

Advanced Technology

We strive for the best in everything we do, and that’s why we continually add the latest technologies to our practice. We choose state-of-the-art dental technologies that make treatments and procedures more effective, efficient, and comfortable for our patients.

Digital Panoramic X-ray

Digital panoramic X-rays take a single digital image of the entire jaw, unlike traditional bitewing X-rays which only show a part of the teeth and jaw with each image. Digital panoramic X-rays produce 90 percent less radiation than traditional X-rays and a digital image is created almost immediately. In addition, the digital panoramic X-ray takes the image by sweeping around the face, so the patient doesn’t need to have a plate in his or her mouth as is needed with traditional X-rays.

Smile Preview Imaging

Through cosmetic imaging, you can preview the results of a variety of smile enhancements so that you can decide which procedures and treatments are right for you. We begin by taking digital photographs of your face and teeth. We then use powerful imaging software to edit the photographs in order to show you the possible results of any cosmetic options you are considering. Smile preview imaging allows our dentists to show patients what cosmetic dentistry can do for them, and helps our patients feel confident in the decisions they make about their dental care.

DIAGNOdent®

DIAGNOdent® is a powerful diagnostic tool that allows our dentists to find potential problems that cannot be seen by the naked eye, and treat them before they become bigger problems. DIAGNOdent® uses a laser light which scans the teeth to safely find tiny cavities and hidden areas of decay. Oftentimes, we can save a significant amount of tooth structure when we find and treat small areas of decay early.

Laser-enhanced Smiles

We use lasers to make many treatments and procedures more efficient and comfortable. Our soft tissue laser is used for precise cosmetic gum contouring. The laser is so gentle that soft tissue treatments are typically performed without the need for anesthetic or sutures. Laser dentistry also reduces the risk of infection, minimizes bleeding, and leads to faster healing than traditional soft-tissue treatments.
