We certainly can, and we're very excited
about the new technology of intra-oral cameras because it is just
one of the new tools that has revolutionized dentistry. Not too long
ago, our patients just had to trust what we saw in their mouths and
how we described it. Maybe they could see something of what we explained
by looking in the mirror. But today, it's entirely different. With
an intra-oral camera, you can see the inside of your mouth magnified
35 times and nothing is left to your imagination. We take a picture
of your mouth, feed it into the computer; and based on scientific
calculations, we can show you what your new smile will look like.
We'll even let you take some pictures home and show them to your
friends and family before deciding on what type of treatment you
want.

We realize that some patients are
apprehensive about receiving dental care. That's why we have worked
hard to garner a reputation for making patients as comfortable and
relaxed as possible. If necessary, we can offer qualified patients
a small pill before receiving dental treatment for sedation. For
even more relaxation, we can offer nitrous oxide. We don't think
you have to suffer through any dental treatment. We hope those days
are long gone. We're also known for giving pain-free injections.
After applying a topical anaesthetic, the spot becomes numb, and
all you feel is a gentle injection. If you haven't been to the dentist
in a while, it's time to come back because our sedation techniques
have advanced tremendously.

Don't panic, we can fix it. You'll
want to call us right away and by talking to you we can tell you
if you need to come in for emergency dental treatment, or if you
can wait until the next business day. Most patients, after talking
to us, are instructed to re-adhere the piece onto the tooth with
a little bit of toothpaste. Yes, this is something you can try at
home! Or, you can try using an over-the-counter dental cement found
in most drugstores to place the temporary back.

If you haven't been
to the dentist in a while, you're probably in for a few pleasant
surprises. Braces aren't the only cure for crooked teeth anymore,
especially for adults. For many adult patients, porcelain veneers
can do wonders. The placement of porcelain veneers is a procedure
that might take only two or three visits with instantaneous results,
versus braces, which might take about two years to provide comparable
results. Call us for an appointment, and we'd be happy to explain
more.
