Modern Technology In The Dental Our Office
April 21, 2015
I was recently asked why I am so concerned about bringing modern dental technology into my dental office.
The easiest way to explain how I feel is to draw a comparison with hospitals. If you or a family member goes to a hospital for a surgery, which hospital are you going to choose. The hospital with a fifteen year old surgery center or the hospital with the state-of-the-art equipment, such as CAT Scan, Robotics, Heart catheters and the list goes on.
A dental office is no different! We are working on the human body, your body. Dentists are responsible for making sure you can eat, show a youthful smile and keep your teeth disease free for as long as you live. Another important duty is to eliminate any infection in your mouth that can affect your heart, other organs or exacerbate diabetes and other health conditions.
Modern dental technology is dramatically improving a patient’s experience in a dental office. Certain advancements have also vastly improved the accuracy of the dental work being placed in a patients mouth.
We all have one life and one body. Let’s take care of it the best we can!

Amazing New Lasers In Dentistry
August 21, 2014
The use of lasers in my dental office has opened up a variety of treatment options for my patients. We can treat tooth decay and gum disease, recontour or reshape the gums and address joint and muscle pain as well as lessen the pain of canker sores with the laser. One of the latest most exciting developments is that we now have the ability to smooth fine lines around the lip area, giving the patient a more youthful look.
In most cases a laser can be used to remove decay with No pain, No drill, and No shot. Although a laser cannot be used to remove metallic fillings, I personally have not had to give a dental injection to do a filling on a front tooth in a number of years!
The use of Dental Lasers have become a more effective way to manage gum disease in conjunction with more classic dental therapy, giving great results.
Gum recontouring can help people who want to change the appearance of uneven gums or too much gum when they smile. A qualified dentist can quickly correct this problem in one appointment without sutures or scalpels. The healing properties of the laser allows for a quick recovery.
Another advancing field in dentistry is that of Low Level Laser Therapy or LLLT. It is a way to use a specific type of laser to promote healing and relieve pain. In dentistry we can use LLLT to treat patients who have pain in the jaw joint or surrounding muscles, this in conjunction with standard dental treatments will aid in diminishing the TMJ pain.
The new SmoothLase laser is used to tighten and smooth the tissue around the lips there by lessening the appearance of fine lines without any down time or pain. The SmoothLase is used in a series of three, 30 minute appointments that will reduce the fine lines around the mouth. There are No shots, No incisions, No pain and you can continue with your day to day business without missing a beat. The results will take place gradually over time and give you more youthful look.
