No More ‘Fat Lips’ or
Numbness after Treatment!
When a patient leaves the dental chair
after routine care, they are often “numb” for 3 to 5 hours. It’s
hard to talk or eat and the face and lips feel “fat.” What if that
didn’t have to happen anymore? We are very pleased to offer our
patients OraVerse™. What this amazing product does is REVERSE the
anesthetic after your treatment is finished. It reduces the numbness
in half the time! So if the thought of being numb for hours after
your treatment makes you uncomfortable – we can take care of that
for you! Ask us about OraVerse.
Gorgeous Dentures
If you select dentures as a replacement
for missing teeth, we can design and fit natural-looking dentures
that won’t slip. Recent technology allows us to anchor dentures so
securely that you no longer have to worry about the foods you eat
and your slipping and shifting dentures. If you are already a
denture wearer, we invite you to ask us about this procedure. It
will make your life so much easier.
Saving Hopeless Teeth
Teeth with roots that have been damaged
or infected used to require extraction, which can cause a lot of
problems and should be done as a last resort. When dental decay
reaches the nerve of the tooth (or the tooth has become infected), a
simple filling does not suffice. A root canal can save the tooth by
removing the pulp of a tooth and replacing it with a filling
material. Root canals of the past were quite painful and gained a
reputation as something to be avoided. However, with today’s modern
anesthetics and technology, we can perform root canals that are
quite tolerable and often times even painless!
The Laser Scanner Finds
Cavities Years Earlier
Have you ever had a dentist find a
cavity and place a large filling, and wondered why the filling is so
large if the cavity wasn’t there just six months before? The cavity
was there six months before – it just wasn’t big enough to show on
X-rays, and it wasn’t visible to the dentist yet. The laser scanner
can find cavities years earlier, when the small cavity can be
removed and repaired with a small invisible bonded filling.
Sometimes patients complain of tooth sensitivity, or mild to severe
pain, yet X-rays and examination cannot pinpoint the source. The
laser scanner can detect previously undetected decay and, once
identified, allow us to remove the discomfort and leave you with a
healthy smile.
75% Reduction in Radiation
Introducing digital imaging, available at our
practice. With this technology, an image is taken of your mouth with
a digital sensor and downloaded into our computer, where it is
immediately available. This method results in 75% less radiation
than conventional X-rays. No more waiting for images to develop and
no more chemical waste to pollute the environment.
