Initial Oral Examination
Your initial oral examination includes a visual examination, charting, periodontal probing, diagnosis and treatment recommendations. We will also take x-rays, which includes the panoramic x-ray for proper diagnosis of the anterior (front) and posterior (back) teeth as well as the bite-wing x-ray series for proper diagnosis of proximal decay of posterior teeth.
Implants
Implants are synthetic structures that are placed in the area of the tooth normally occupied by the root. Implants are anchored to the jawbone or metal framework on the bone and act as a foundation for an artificial tooth or permanent bridge. In some cases, implants can be used to attach dentures.

Crowns and Bridges
Crowns are synthetic caps, usually made of a material like porcelain, placed on the top of a tooth. Crowns are typically used to restore a tooth's function and appearance following a restorative procedure such as a root canal. When decay in a tooth has become so advanced that large portions of the tooth must be removed, crowns are often used to restore the tooth.

Whitening procedures have effectively restored the smile of people with stained, dull, or discolored teeth.The darker tissue of your teeth, the dentin, can become exposed as the outer layer of enamel is worn away by the effects of aging or things like caffeine and tobacco.

Root Canal Therapy
Root canals are tiny passageways that branch off from beneath the top of the tooth, coursing their way vertically downward, until they reach the tip of the root.

Toothaches
Simple toothaches can often be relieved by rinsing the mouth to clear it of debris and other matter. Sometimes, a toothache can be caused or aggravated by a piece of debris lodged between the tooth and another tooth. Avoid placing an aspirin between your tooth and gum to relieve pain, because the dissolving aspirin can actually harm your gum tissue.

Cold Sore/Canker Sore Removal
When visiting our office for treatment, the laser used is completely painless. The only sensation felt during the procedure is a sensation of warmth where the laser is being applied. The laser works in two major ways:
The laser deadens the nerve cells around the area providing near-instant pain relief.
The laser promotes healing in biostimualtion, meaning your body increases collagen formation.
While medication can take weeks to have a full, healing effect, the healing process from lasers begins within a matter of days.
The Benefits:
There are many reasons to opt for laser treatment rather than other traditional treatments:
The treatment is affordable and may even be covered by your insurance provider
Relief from pain is nearly instant when the laser is used
You're sitting in the dentist chair for just a few minutes while the procedure is being done
Colds sores can recur with less frequency and less intensity after treatment
You won't feel a thing when the laser is being used
Individuals who get the treatment as soon as possible don't develop a cold sore at all
Laser treatments, unlike traditional medications, can allow a person to move on with the more important things in their life.
