Our Goal

Our goal is to provide you with the highest quality of care in a compassionate and safe environment. In order to do this, we use the most current periodontal procedures, instruments, medications, and sterilization techniques.

We want you to be completely informed of your condition and will answer any questions that you may have regarding your treatment and care.

Patient Comfort

While no dental procedure is 100% comfortable, we go to great lengths to minimize any discomfort you might feel. We use some of the latest techniques to provide you with the most comfortable experience possible. Many of our patients comment that their treatment was surprisingly pleasant with little post-operative discomfort.

Patient comfort is one of the most important aspects of care. Every patient is unique.  Some patients may have anxiety or pain concerns.   Depending upon the procedure, your personal medical history and your wishes, we have many ways to help you have a comfortable experience including sedative medications, personalized music delivery systems, soothing eye-pillows, comfy blankets and Tempur-pedic® padding on the dental chairs.  Most importantly, If you need something special, please feel free to ask any of our professional and compassionate staff.  We are here for you.

Additionally, we offer an extensive menu of medical grade skin care services through our Rejuvenation Center conveniently available within our main office. 

Injections of Anesthesia

In the past, injections of dental anesthesia were more likely to be painful. We have recognized this and take extra care when preparing a patient for anesthetic. We use a topical ointment on the gum tissue first, and then administer the injection very slowly and precisely to reduce the burning sensation that you might experience. These techniques ensure that patients have minimal, if any, discomfort during this portion of care.

Conscious Sedation & Nitrous Oxide

For those patients who would feel more comfortable with conscious sedation, we offer both oral sedation and nitrous oxide analgesia. Either one of these techniques will make you feel relaxed and at ease. Although you will be awake, you will not be aware of your surroundings.

Conscious sedation can allow you to remain calm during dental procedures, with very minimal recollection of your visit. We are happy to let you know that we have a highly skilled paramedic on staff with the extensive training and licensure necessary to provide either one of these options. Additionally, Our office is unique in that EVERY member of our staff is certified in Advanced Cardiac Life Support.

Special Equipment and Procedures

We strive to stay on the leading edge of periodontal techniques and equipment. In order to do this, we engage in a great deal of continuing education. We also utilize advanced equipment in our office. This includes DEN-X® IGI. This unique instrument uses three-dimensional CT images and live interactive guidance, to ensure precise placement of dental implants.  Additionally, we only use digital intra-oral and Panoramic Radiography to be able to more precisely diagnose and treat periodontal disease while decreasing the volume of radiation to our patients by 90% compared with traditional dental radiographs.

We take patient safety very seriously and adhere to the highest professional standards of cleanliness, sterilization, and radiation control. 

Oral Cancer Screening

Oral cancer is one of the most curable diseases when it's caught early, but can be devastating if it is not recognized in the early stages when it is often barely visible.  In addition to the traditional visual/tactile examination, we utilize two state-of-the-art oral cancer screening systems.  The Identafi® 3000 and Vizilite Plus systems provide superior analysis for patients at increased risk for oral cancer. An oral cancer screening is painless and fast, and could help save your life.  When oral cancer is found at the earliest stage, treatment is quicker, simpler, less involved, and more then 90% successful!
