Computerized Shade Matching Instrument
|
Technique that removes decay without drilling
and usually without the need for injections. Small sand like particles
blast away areas of decay in a stream of air. Ideal for small fillings
in primary (baby) and secondary (adult) teeth. Also useful for removing
stains, discolorations, and surface imperfections in teeth.

In many situations, dental implants can give back patients their
confident smile. The benefits are improved esthetics, the ability
to eat comfortably and a clean, healthy oral environment for the patient.

| Dental Implant |
Dental Implants are small prosthetic posts that are placed into the
bone of the upper or lower jaw. They act as replacements for the
root portion of lost natural teeth and also serve as an anchor for replacement
teeth. Dental implants look and feel exactly like natural teeth
-- in fact, no-one (other than maybe our dentists) will be able to tell
the difference. Dental implants are appropriate for almost anyone
who is currently missing teeth or is at risk of losing teeth.

| Implant Supported
Dentures |
Implants are also able to be used as support for dentures. The implant denture
attachment comes in a variety of forms to suit many different clinical situations. Basically, it is now possible to have the stable,
secure and comfortable dentures that you never before thought possible.

Invisalign ® is the invisible way to straighten teeth without
braces. Using advanced 3-D computer imaging technology to project
tooth movement, Invisalign ® creates a series of clear, custom-made
aligners ( repositioners ) that gradually move your teeth. You wear
each aligner for about 2 weeks, moving to the next set, until the
goals you agreed upon with your dentist are reached.

This state of the art imaging technique has
been utilized in our office since 1995. A computer sensor is used instead
of film thereby reducing radiation exposure to the patient by 90%. Our
office was one of the first to incorporate this technology and still
does Beta testing for new advancements in this field. Digital radiographs
are environmentally friendly. They protect our environment by eliminating
the need for developer and fixer solutions and silver nitrate film backing,
all of which are hazardous to our earth. 
Also known as sweet air, nitrous oxide eases the tension and anxiety of injections and dental
procedures. The patient is awake but in a euphoric state.

You've paid to straighten your child's
teeth. Now protect them from sports trauma that may result from hockey,
football, lacrosse, skateboards, bicycles and karate.
 Assist authorities in tracking a missing child or in making a positive
identification. Parents keep a record of their child's DNA along with
unique tooth characteristics. Hopefully you'll never have to use it.
