- Treasure Towers with a large selection of toys!
Modern Dental Technology
Utilizing state-of-the-art dental technology helps our office provide high-quality dental care faster and more effectively. We are proud to use many advanced dental tools in our work, including:
- Intraoral Cameras allow our team to get an up-close look at the patient’s teeth and gums. These handheld cameras stream a live video feed to a computer screen, so patients can get a closer look at their smile too!
- Digital X-Rays take pictures quickly and efficiently and provide a much clearer picture that can be enhanced if necessary. Digital X-rays also emit less radiation than traditional X-rays, which is safer for patients and our team.
- Dry Shield Isolation makes it easier for patients to hold their mouths open for extended periods of time while also suctioning saliva, which makes dental treatments easier and more convenient for everyone.
- Silver Diamine Fluoride helps kill bacteria and strengthens tooth enamel at the same time. Regular fluoride treatments can help keep your child’s teeth strong and healthy now and well into the future.
- Curodont, a new fluoride application. Curodont is tooth-colored and is designed to regenerate the outer layer of the tooth so that a cavity never develops.
- White Crowns are still in the innovative stages of development, but we are now able to offer white crowns (caps) for the baby molar teeth, in some, but not all cases. *Please consult with our dentists to see if they might be an option, should your child need pediatric crowns.
Our Office Policies
- Please arrive 15 minutes early to your appointment to take care of any last minute details and allow adequate time to care for your child. Late patients may need to be rescheduled.
- We require 24 hours advance notice (by 2 PM the previous business day) if you cannot make your scheduled appointment.
- We allow only one missed appointment (without prior notice) per 12 months. For a second broken appointment within 12 months, you will be placed on a same-day call list.
- Someone other than a parent or legal guardian may accompany your child after their initial visit, but we will need a completed form with detailed information on that authorization.
- We ask that all visitors be mindful of using cell phones in our office due to privacy, security, and courtesy concerns. Please ask before taking pictures or recording videos.
