Each one of our patients is placed on a Preventive
Maintenance Program. The type of program is dictated by the specific oral
conditions and individual needs of the person. We are firm advocates of
prevention as a key in the overall success of each persons oral health. Many
potential problems can be thwarted by being proactive rather than reactive.

Oral Hygiene Instructions
Our office features the latest state of the art
technology to provide you with better diagnosis and treatment. We pride
ourselves at being at the cutting of technology in our field.
One of the best advances in dentistry is in the field of video-imaging. We
are proud to be one of the few offices to have such a technology networked
throughout our office. Intra-oral Video Imaging is a high-powered camera
adapted especially for use inside the mouth. It brings magnified images of
the teeth, gums, and other intraoral structures. It helps us diagnose
potential problems such as cracked fillings, fractures in teeth, and the
beginnings of decay. With this technology, we can diagnose potential
problems before they can cause greater problems. This usually means less
extensive and expensive treatment in the long run.
Computerized X-rays: This new technology where x-rays are taken through the
computer. Our office is proud to be one of the few offices to have such
technology.
- Safer: X-rays play an invaluable role in the diagnosis of dental problems.
But many people are concerned about exposure to radiation. CDR eliminated
these worries because we are able to lower the dose of radiation by 90%.
- Better: As accurate as conventional x-rays - yet reveals things film cannot.
The CDR image can be magnified 300X it's normal size to enhance diagnosis.
Images can be digitally improved to reveal hidden problems and areas of
concern that cannot be seen with regular x-rays.
- Faster: Images come up instantaneously. This means more time in patient care
and less time developing film in the darkroom.
- Smarter: No harmful waste. The CDR system uses no film or chemicals, so we
don't have to worry about disposing of hazardous processing waste. That's
good news for the environment.
Laser Detection of Dental Decay: This is the most advanced diagnostic tool
for detecting dental decay (caries). The laser can detect caries under the
surface of the tooth, in pits and grooves, and next to fillings. No more
need for guesswork, or worse yet - waiting till it becomes a big problem. We
can be proactive, avoiding more extensive and expensive treatment in the
long run.
We believe that sound treatment begins with our client's understanding of
their treatment. That is why we use Interactive Patient Education. We can
help you understand your needs and concerns and show you how we can reach
your cosmetic and dental goals.
