Worry-Free Dentistry with Sedation
We understand that some people have great anxiety about dental visits. Their fear may center around having a shot, needing drilling, or simply sitting in the dental chair to complete a procedure. Now we can offer you a relaxing visit throughout your treatment. With sedation dentistry, you won't even recall going to your appointment.
By just taking one pill, one hour before your treatment, you will begin to feel relaxed. As you sit in the dental chair, you gradually reach a deep level of sedation. You will not be aware of the procedure, but will still be able to speak to the dentist if he asks you questions. Vital signs are continually monitored. And when the treatment is completed, you have someone drive you home.
Some people have a fear of being "put under." But you are not completely sedated, as during surgery. You are still conscious, but unaware of the work being performed. You retain a level of perception, so this type of sedation is a happy medium of losing your fear, but not your consciousness.
This also works well for those who are highly resistant to anesthesia. It is also used for patients who can't spare the time for multiple visits. In just one visit, extensive work can be accomplished. We also use nitrous oxide (laughing gas) for lighter sedation needs. You will feel relaxed and relieved to have conscious sedation available for all your dental work.

Natural-Looking Replacements for Missing Teeth
Dental implants look natural and function just like a regular tooth. They also look like a real tooth because they come up through gums instead of resting on top. You can replace as many teeth as are missing, and they will return your smile to its original appearance. They also will allow you to eat whatever foods you like!
People with no teeth can benefit, as they can replace dentures to eliminate the annoying slipping and tilting problems. Your new teeth never need to be taken out.
We use CT scans and fully guided surgery while placing implants, which allows for incredible precision and amazing results. We handle the complete process, so there is no need to go to another office.

Invisible Orthodontics – An Easy Choice
With 3-D computer-imaging technology, you can have straight teeth in just 9 – 15 months! As the name implies, Invisalign® are invisible orthodontic aligners that will correct all the problems that traditional braces do – underbite, crossbite, overbite, overcrowding, and gaps between teeth.
An entire treatment plan is created starting with the current position of your teeth and progressing to your final goal. Thermoplastic aligners that are clear and look similar to whitening trays are replaced every two weeks, as progress is gently made. An individual's treatment time varies, but the usual amount of time is approximately a year. Evaluations are only every one to two months.
