General Dentistry for Adults
Our goal is to ensure a lifetime of healthy teeth and gums for our patients. To that end, we have made an investment in state of the art technology, while also relying on time-tested principles.
One investment we have made is in CEREC one visit crowns and onlays. With this technology we can restore badly decayed or broken down teeth to their natural beauty in one visit, eliminating the need for cumbersome impressions, return visits, and temporary crowns. Not only is this more convenient for you, but gives me full control of the outcome of your treatment.
Another investment we have made is in digital radiographs and a digital panoramic unit. We obtain the highest quality images from which to diagnose, while exposing you to minimal levels of radiation. We also have strong relationships with the very best local specialists for more complex procedures. We do all of this to ensure you receive the highest standard of care.
So what can you expect with your first visit? In most cases, a hygienist will begin with radiographs and a thorough gingival/periodontal exam. It's important to establish an initial jumping off point, so we can build a plan towards improved oral health. A significant part of this first visit is education. You need to thoroughly understand any issues before we work together to improve them. Education is a key element of our practice philosophy. And then, after a thorough dental cleaning, and comprehensive examination, we will discuss all our findings. We'll work together, discussing any and all possible options, to formulate a treatment plan that works for you. Let's work together to obtain your optimal oral health.
