Our doctors believe that communication is very important in dentistry and that patients should be fully informed about their oral health and treatment. Using excellent communication skills, the doctors will get to know your needs, thoroughly explain any oral health conditions and clearly lay out all of your options. They will then design a treatment plan that they will go over with you in detail. They will listen to your input and will finalize the treatment plan together with you.
Our doctors use state-of-the-art technology for high-quality, minimally invasive treatment. This includes special instruments for smooth tooth extractions, ultrasonic scalers for gentle teeth cleaning and lasers for precise gum disease treatment. They use alternatives to dental drills that are more comfortable for patients, including quiet and efficient handpieces and a Waterlase dental laser, which uses a laser in combination with a cooling water spray.
For dental implant treatment, our doctors use 3D dental imaging technology to produce 360 3D digital images of the mouth, jaws and teeth. This allows them to plan the exact location and angle for the placement of the implants. The result is a highly precise, efficient procedure which makes for minimal discomfort and fast post-operative healing.
Dental implants are now considered the modern solution for missing teeth. An implant is a titanium post that functions as a tooth root. It is topped by a restoration such as a crown or bridge. Implant-supported restorations look, feel and function like natural teeth.
