Dental Technology Saves Time!!!

We live in a busy and fast paced world and I want to make the public aware of the advancements in dental technology that will help reduce your time in the dental office. Dental advancements in laser therapy, orthodontics, tooth restorations, and teeth whitening reduce the time you spend in the dental chair.

Today’s technology has taken even routine dental visits into the 21st century. Digital x-rays have replaced traditional radiographs virtually eliminating the processing time and protecting the patient by reducing the amount of radiation by 70%.

The advancements in dental treatment have also reduced the amount of visits and provide patients with results in accelerated time. LANAP therapy for the treatment of periodontal disease and bone loss uses laser technology to treat gum disease. It eliminates the need for traditional scalpel surgery, significantly reduces healing time, and produces dramactically healthy results. CEREC technology allows patients the convenience of having a dental onlay or crown made in one hour that I personally back with a lifetime guarantee. Plus all dental work can be done in one visit while you are comfortably sedated!

Even the traditional years of orthodontic treatment and teeth whitening have benefited from advanced technology and materials. A brighter dazzling smile is now possible with predictable, effective results even for sensitive teeth with the new Zoom WhiteSpeed. We are pleased to be able to offer this new product at a fraction of the cost and time of the old laser whitening treatments. If you are looking for staighter teeth, Invisilign makes it easy to straighten your teeth without bands, brackets, or wires and the average treatment time is less than a year!In my office, we know that not everyone is as excited about dentistry as we are, but we want our patients to have the very best in dental technology and receive the most advanced treatment that’s available. Our patients are like family and if our treatments can reduce discomfort or allow convenience for your busy lives we want to be sure we are providing that for you.If you are interested in seeing what the latest technology can do for you, give us a call!

A wonderful smile makeover with Dr Judy….

Dr. Judy came to us wanting to improve her smile and update her dentistry. After an extensive exam and discussion concerning her wants and desires, we decided to do 10 veneers on the top and 10 on the bottom including several onlays to remove the unsightly and outdated silver mercury fillings. Her before and after pictures speak for themselves. What a beautiful smile she has!! This entire case was done in one visit under sedation.
