Welcome To The "Comfort Zone"
 We
have worked hard to make our office a "Comfort Zone." Our state of
the art equipment, facility and techniques go a long way toward
eliminating the discomfort that some people feel about having a dental
procedure performed, but we understand their discomfort. It's
normal.
Please be assured that our top priority is your comfort. We'll
address any apprehensions you may be experiencing and take every measure
possible to assure that your experience with us will be comfortable (and
we hope pleasurable!)
Remember, first that you are in control at all times.
During your procedure, let us know how you are feeling! If you
want to stop the treatment at any time, simply let us know. If you
would like to take a short break we'll happily accommodate your request.
(We'll even leave the room if you like!)
We have carefully designed our office to create comfortable
surroundings. Warm colors and lighting help make your time with us
more pleasant. You can use our headsets or you can bring your
favorite music and listen during treatment!
We carefully provide pre-procedure injections that are comfortable!
Prior to numbing, a gel anesthetic is gently swabbed on with a Q-tip.
For those who need extra help relaxing, pre-medication with anti-anxiety
medications are available. We can also offer you nitrous oxide
(laughing gas) to help you relax. Just let us know! We
understand the emotional reaction to dentistry and will work with you to
see that your stay is comfortable and relaxing. Why should it be
anything else?
Infection control. At our office, we take no risk
whatsoever. In addition to a regular cleaning and sterilization of
all instruments recommended by the American Dental Association and
Centers for Disease Control, we sterilize all hand pieces (drills) with
state of the art units specifically designed for this purpose. All
of our dental units water lines are supplied by self-contained bottles
of pure distilled water and are flushed daily with a special bleach
solution. This is above and beyond the average dental office but
we believe our patients deserve it. We strictly observe all
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) guidelines.
Laser Caries Detection: We incorporate a compact diode
laser to identify areas of tooth decay that traditional means such as an
explorer, visual exam and even some x-rays miss 76% of the time.
Zoom Whitening: As seen on Extreme Makeover, Zoom
safely whitens teeth 3-4 shades in as little as an hour.
Invisalign: Invisible braces.
Cosmetic Imaging: See the possibilities of smile
enhancement before treatment.
Intraoral cameras: "See what we see"
