What Sets Us Apart:  

 
PATIENT SAFETY  
  To protect the patients and ourselves, our staff wears masks, gloves, glasses, as well as hospital scrub uniforms.  We strictly observe all Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) guidelines.  All instruments are cleaned, disinfected, and routinely sterilized as recommended by the American Dental Association and the Centers for Disease Control.  Whenever possible, disposable single use instruments are used to ensure your safety.  Hand-pieces (drills) are sterilized with a state-of-the-art sterilization unit specifically designed for this purpose.  All surfaces in the treatment rooms are cleaned and disinfected after each patient.
 
   
   
PATIENT COMFORT  
You are not alone if you feel anxious about a visit to the dentist.  We understand and share your concerns and strive to make every dental visit comfortable.  If there is anything else we can do, please let us know.  In addition to topical and local anesthetic, nitrous oxide (laughing gas) is available for those patients who require a little more comfort during their visit.
 
   
   
INTEGRATED HYGIENE SERVICE  
An integral part of maintaining your teeth for life is the removal of plaque and tartar on a regular basis.  The frequency of your visits is based upon your individual needs and oral health.  During your visit, we will update your medical history, perform an oral cancer screening exam, check your teeth for cavities, review oral hygiene instructions, and monitor your periodontal (gum) condition.  Fluoride treatments are provided for children under the age of thirteen and for those adults when appropriate.
