Porcelain Veneers
A cosmetic treatment, veneers can create a picture-perfect smile in just a few days. With all of the options available today in cosmetic dentistry, there's no longer any reason not to have a perfectly gorgeous smile.

Some of our doctors' strongest skills are bonded porcelain veneers. This procedure creates natural-looking teeth that radiate health and beauty. Veneers can also turn crooked, "not so perfect" teeth into stunning, flawless smiles in just days.

Dental Implants
Our dentists offer permanent implant restoration. Dental implants can help your smile by replacing missing teeth.

Implants can help with:

• replacing single or multiple missing teeth
• replace an outdated bridge
• stabilizing or eliminating a full or partial removable denture
CEREC - Computer Assisted Restoration new
CEREC Cad/Cam - teeth restoration We're happy to announce that we can now provide our patients with the custom design and creation of full or partial dental crowns in-office. Crowns, inlays and onlays are used to repair broken teeth, replace old fillings, or to seal over a root canal.

We make crowns in ONE DAY!

New technology made available to dentists using the CEREC 3D CAD, software assisted imaging and milling system, now enables us to accomplish in only minutes what used to require several patient visits.

Before the CEREC system, crown restorations took about two weeks to finish. An impression of your teeth would be sent to a dental lab where the crown would be made -- a temporary restoration would be placed on the tooth until it came back.

Now with CEREC, our dentists simply make an optical impression of the patient's teeth, then the computer software feeds the information into a milling unit and produces the porcelain crown. The whole process only takes a single appointment. If you'd like to learn more about this amazing device, visit the CEREC website.

Air Abrasion - No Drills - No Needles
Diagnodent Our doctors can now treat early developing cavities without drills or anesthesia. Using the Diagnodent technology, cavities in their earliest stages can be easily detected by a laser beam, then treated without having to remove a lot of the natural tooth's structure.

Treatment consists of using a small but powerful stream of air to remove any decayed areas. Early detection together with this revolutionary method known as air abrasion can help keep your teeth strong and healthy for many years to come.

Suffering With Migraine Headaches?
pretty smile If you're one of the tens of millions of Americans who suffer with migraine or tension headaches, we can offer a new and effective treatment to reduce and in most cases eliminate migraines.

This FDA approved device is a simple, small appliance that's worn on your front teeth while you sleep. It works by relaxing the clenching of jaw muscles.

Most migraine sufferers who experience headaches soon after waking often show significant signs of nocturnal jaw clenching. As muscles strengthen and enlarge from this habitual exercise, headaches will intensify and symptoms worsen.

Let us help provide the headache relief you have been seeking. Our dentists can fabricate a custom-fitted removable device for the patient in just a single visit. More detailed information is available from: "headache prevention."

Tooth-Colored Mercury-Free Fillings
Mercury-free fillings Thanks to science, patients today have alternatives when it comes to tooth fillings. Modern advances in dental technology and materials have paved the way for stronger, more attractive and safer options.

Now instead of the older amalgam type fillings (50% mercury) which can also appear dark and unsightly, our dentists employ a combination of composite fillings and bonding to give you a natural-looking smile.

Our decision to offer mercury-free dentistry was also born of careful research into the inherent dangers of mercury toxicity, common sense and our commitment to the overall health and safety of our patients.

Deep BleachingTM
teeth bleaching Our dental practice now provides a vastly improved smile-whitening technique that's more effective than any teeth bleaching system we've previously offered. If you've had persistent problems with stains that were difficult to remove, this is the method for you.

This new Deep BleachingTM method requires that you schedule for two in-office whitening sessions where the first is a "bleaching conditioning visit", then you wear special bleaching trays at home during sleep for several nights between the two sessions.

No hassle, no incidental swallowing of bleach, only the enjoyable results of perfectly white teeth from a professional whitening system that really works.

Periolase - Laser Dentistry
Periolase LANAP® (Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure) is a patented procedure that's used with the PerioLase© dental laser system for the treatment of periodontal (gum) disease. It's the only FDA approved laser treatment for gum disease and the actual treatment is done without any cut-n-sew surgery plus the results are impressive and there's little pain or discomfort.

A tiny laser fiber (approximately the diameter of three human hairs), is inserted between the tooth and the gum and painlessly removes bacteria that can cause infection. This is a great way to ensure healthier gums and teeth for life -- and it's pain-free. If you're concerned about being told that you need conventional gum surgery, our non-surgical laser therapy might be just the right alternative for you.

Relief of Snoring
Klearway Appliance Did you know we can effectively treat snoring without surgery? We offer Klearway®, a mouth-guard dental appliance that's worn while you are sleeping.

The appliance helps to maintain a clear airway passage throughout the night to immediately prevent and stop problem snoring. Patients are now reporting calm, uninterrupted sleep and much needed rest.

Microscopic Surgery
We use precision microscopes in our dentistry to examine teeth and perform intricate operations at microscopic level. At high magnification, we're able to see the smallest microscopic details during procedures that would normally be impossible to visualize with just the naked eye. With microscopes and special caries detector dyes, only decay is removed and more invasive treatments are avoided.

Normal tissue is not removed since it's possible to see differences better and much clearer under high magnification. By using these surgical microscopes during operations, dental restorations are incredibly precise and have better longevity. Microscopic dentistry enables an exceptional degree of precision in dental care.
