Sometimes we find that our patients need corrective treatments to help restore the appearance of their teeth and help them appear more straight.

Invisalign® technology takes a contemporary approach to straightening teeth by using a series of custom-made aligners created just for you based on the shape of your mouth and teeth patterns.

When breathing is paused or becomes shallow, one will often move out of deep sleep and into light sleep, making the quality of sleep poor. Sleep apnea can be treated with lifestyle changes, mouthpieces, breathing devices, and/or surgery.

Nitrous oxide, sometimes referred to as “laughing gas,” is an effective and safe sedation agent that is inhaled through a mask that fits over your nose to help you relax. Mixed with oxygen, nitrous oxide allows you to breathe normally through your nose, and within minutes you should start to feel the effects. You may feel light-headed or a tingling in your arms and legs. Some patients comment that their legs and arms feel heavy. Ultimately, you should feel comfortable and calm. The effects of nitrous oxide wear off quickly after the small mask is removed. Talk to the doctor about whether nitrous oxide would be a good option for you.

IV sedation/general anesthesia, uses medications to allow the patient to go to sleep while receiving dental treatment. Surgical patients or patients with high levels of anxiety, or special needs may benefit from IV sedation/general anesthesia. The doctor can discuss the benefits of general anesthesia and help patients determine if it is the best choice for them.

Conscious oral sedation is an alternative minimal sedation that allows you to remain awake but relaxed. For people who have a fear of dental procedures, conscious sedation may take away some of the anxiety. The doctor will combine the use of oral sedation along with a local anesthetic so you have little to no discomfort. You should plan to have someone bring you to the appointment and be available to drive you home following treatment.

The most common type of dental X-ray, intraoral radiographs are taken inside the mouth. These traditional X-rays help us find and treat problems such as tooth decay, gum disease, and infection.  Taking yearly intraoral bitewing X-rays once a year as a preventative measure enables our dentists to monitor the general health of your teeth, gums, and jawbone, and detect potential issues before they start.

Extraoral dental radiographs are images of the mouth, head, and neck that are taken from the outside. Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) technology is a fast, effective way to capture crystal-clear digital images. Our Sirona ORTHOPHOS® SL 3D Scanner takes multiple images in less than a minute and doesn’t require any uncomfortable X-ray apparatus in the mouth. This state-of-the-art 3D imaging allows our dentists to get a closer look at the jaw, impacted teeth, facial bone structure, and the condition and positioning of the teeth.
