Tooth Decay and Repair

Utilizing an intra-oral camera gives both you and us the opportunity to see potential problems occurring in your mouth, such as decay or fractured teeth. Often a tooth will not start bothering you until there is significant loss of tooth structure. With the help of the intra-oral camera, problems can be detected earlier, before you experience a toothache.

No Shots, No Drills...Really?

One of the greatest advances in dentistry in years is here. Now cavities can be removed with no shots or high-speed drills using "Micro Air Abrasion". A painless air-driven stream of fine powder quietly removes decay from virgin teeth without your child even knowing and makes their appointment so much nicer. When we say "virgin" teeth, we mean teeth that have not previously been filled. Obviously, many adult cavities fit this description as well and we have surprised many of our "older" patients with the new "Micro Air Abrasion" experience.
