Diagnosing Periodontal Disease - If you have periodontal disease, you may be experiencing persistent bad breath, bleeding of the gums when brushing or flossing, soft, swollen, or tender gums, gums pulling away from the teeth, or lose teeth. You may also notice inflammation of the gums between the teeth.  This is where periodontal disease usually starts.


Picture
Digital X-Ray Technology - The computer era has brought us an exciting new technology called digital radiography. With this technology, we use computerized equipment and software to capture x-ray images of your mouth and teeth. We do this by exposing a small sensor or plate that feeds the image into a computer.


Picture
Intraoral Camera - An intraoral camera is a highly advanced innovation in dentistry that allows us to get a close-up view inside your mouth.


Picture
DIAGNOdent - DIAGNOdent is an advanced laser technology that helps us find tooth decay.  We use it along with visual examination, dental explorers, and x-rays.

Nitrous Oxide - We offer nitrous oxide, also called laughing gas, for its calming effect. It can make your dental visits more relaxing and enjoyable.
