Laser dentistry can be a precise and effective way to perform many dental procedures. The potential for laser dentistry to improve dental procedures rests in the dentist's ability to control power output and the duration of exposure on the tissue (whether gum or tooth structure), allowing for treatment of a highly specific area of focus without damaging surrounding tissues.
If you consider yourself somewhat of an anxious dental patient and are seeking extreme safety and comfort, we have incorporated laser dentistry techniques into our practice and treatments to provide you with more comfort.
As the applications for dental lasers expand, we will use the technology to provide patients with precision treatment that may minimize pain and recovery time.
Powerprox Six Month Braces
Can you imagine having straight teeth and a great smile in just six months? That's right six months! You are not dreaming. You did read that correctly.
The Powerprox Six Month(speed) Braces technique is not a dream, but it can be the answer to the dreams of many patients
Initial Oral Examination
Your initial oral examination includes a visual examination, charting, periodontal probing, diagnosis and treatment recommendations. We will also take x-rays, which includes the panoramic x-ray for proper diagnosis of the anterior (front) and posterior (back) teeth as well as the bite-wing x-ray series for proper diagnosis of proximal decay of posterior teeth.
Teeth Bleaching 
Our state-of-the-art, in-office whitening systems can make your teeth bleach white in as little as1.5 hours. Another option is our home whitening system you take with you for results in as little as 6 days or if you tend to be sensitive as long as 2 weeks. You can also consider a combination program of both systems our "power whitening" for optimal, long-term results.This depends on individual needs of the patient
Crowns and Veneers
You can have a new smile with all-porcelain crowns (empressed material) on the anterior teeth. For the posterior, we use porcelain fused to metal.
Fillings: Resin
A composite resin filling is a tooth-colored plastic mixture filled with glass (silicon dioxide). Introduced in the 1960s, dental composites were confined to the front teeth because they were not strong enough to withstand the pressure and wear generated by the back teeth.
Since then, composite resin fillings have been significantly improved and routinely placed in the back teeth as well. They are often considered the standard of care in direct, one-visit filling procedures. Composites are not only used to restore decayed areas, but are also used for dental cosmetic improvements of the smile by changing the color of the teeth or reshaping disfigured teeth.
Root Canals
We perform root canals on anterior,premolar and molar teeth.A root canal is a treatment used to repair and save a tooth that is badly decayed or becomes infected.
Root canal procedures are performed when the nerve of the tooth becomes infected or the pulp becomes damaged. During a root canal procedure, the nerve and pulp is removed and the inside of the tooth is cleaned and sealed.
Root canal procedures have the reputation of being painful. Actually, most people report that the procedure itself is no more painful than having a filling placed. The discomfort experienced in the period leading up to a seeking of dental care is truly the painful period of time, not the root canal procedure itself.
Periodontal Treatment
You should have a standard cleaning at least twice a year when you are in Dental health.Periodontal treatment is performed when gum tissue and bone that supports our teeth is beening compromised due to bacterial infection.Periodontal health should be achieved in the least invasive and most cost-effective manner. This is often accomplished through non-surgical periodontal treatment, including scaling and root planing (a careful cleaning of the root surfaces to remove plaque and calculus [tartar] from deep periodontal pockets and to smooth the tooth root to remove bacterial toxins), Most dentists would agree that after scaling and root planing, many patients do not require any further active treatment, including surgical therapy. However, the majority of patients will require ongoing maintenance therapy(4 visits to hygienist yearly instead of 2) to sustain health.
Mouth Guards
Whether you are an athlete or casual sports participant, you should wear a mouth guard to protect your teeth. If you grind your teeth while you sleep, a bite guard will help reduce symptoms of TMJ. We custom make mouth guards in both soft and hard materials.

For missing teeth, we can make dentures or removable partials for you.

Whereas traditional polishing relies on a rotating rubber cup containing abrasive paste to clean your teeth, the Prophy-Jet sprays high-pressured water to blast away soft deposits such as dental plaque. Baking soda acts as a pumice to scour off extrinsic tooth stains caused by foods, drinks or smoking.
-DIAGNOdent-We use DIAGNOdent® to catch dental cavities early. Early detection of dental cavities can mean fewer dental fillings and less money spent in the long run on dental treatments painless laser cavity detector. DIAGNOdent is the revolutionary new way to find even the smallest areas of tooth decay. By using this new technology, we are able to target and treat all of your small problem areas before they turn into larger issues that require more complicated procedures
