Our Amenities
Our office provides the following amenities for your comfort. Please ask us about the following:
- Nitrous Oxide – Nitrous oxide, also known as “laughing gas,” is used for its calming effect. It’s a colorless, almost odorless gas that is combined with oxygen, and then administered to you through a small mask that covers your nose. It can help to relax you, ease your fear, and make you feel more comfortable during your dental treatment. Safe for patients of all ages.
- Wand Anesthetic Delivery System – This computer-assisted anesthetic system produces a virtual pain-free injection with use of less anesthetic compared to the conventional technique of “needle and plunger.”
- Superior Topical Anesthetic – In combination with the wand system, this topical creates a pain-free experience for injections, and in many cases, the use of the needle is no longer needed for certain procedures. Providing comfort to our patients and “bridging the gap” of fear to trust is important to us. This topical is one of a kind and makes your overall experience more relaxing and less anxious.
- Diagnodent Laser Cavity Detector – This technology painlessly and quickly detects and rates areas of decay that may otherwise be mistaken as stains. It is a harmless and comfortable laser that screens the surfaces of teeth to detect even the smallest evidence of decay. By providing early detection of decay, the preservation of tooth structure is maintained and the treatment conservative.
