Just
as there are many types of periodontal diseases, there are many
treatment options available for you. We offer a wide range of services
that we tailor to meet your specific needs. Customized treatment
plans enable us to provide the best possible care for you.
We begin our treatment with a New Patient Exam. The doctor will
interview you to gain insight into your medical history and dental
history. This interview will be followed by a Comprehensive Clinical
Examination of your mouth, including an oral cancer screening.
When needed, full mouth radiographs (x-rays) are taken as a diagnostic
tool. CAT scans for implant diagnosis are available on site. They
are used in conjunction with clinical findings to develop your customized
treatment plan.
An in-depth lesson in disease control and home care will be provided
by a dental assistant or registered dental hygienist.
We also offer Zoom® whitening for those patients whose general
dentist does not offer this service.
We understand patient anxiety and fear concerning treatment. For
a more positive and comfortable experience, we offer:
- Nitrous Oxide - This conscious sedation wears off quickly, so you won't need a driver afterwards.
- Conscious Sedation Dentistry with oral medication is available for more apprehensive patients. This type of sedation requires someone to drive you to and from your appointment.
- Post-Operative Medications - Whenever possible, we provide any necessary medication so our patients will not have to stop at a pharmacy immediately following an appointment.
- General Anesthesia - When necessary, we provide surgery using general anesthesia.
