 Below are just some of the methods we can use to reduce discomfort, and sometimes eliminate it all together!
Relaxed and
Professional Environment
Our office prides itself on not being
rushed and centering our attention to our patients and the environment
we create for them. You will feel comfortable and relaxed while
we take gentle care of you.
Blankets, Pillows,
or Whatever You Want
We have almost everything you can
request to help make you comfortable. Just ask and bets are that
you will get it!
Audio and Video
analgesia
We have movie glasses that allow you to
watch a movie while your getting your dental care. Pick from our
list or bring your own! Where there are computers, there are CD
players and headsets. Bring your own music on compact
disc, or select one of ours, and use it to transport yourself to a
place more relaxing that the dentist's office.
Pre-medication
When needed, our doctors can select
medication to mildly sedate or calm patients before and during the
appointment. Sometimes this is used to simply help
patients sleep the night before an appointment.
Laughing gas
N2O2
or "laughing gas" as it is sometimes called, offers an
excellent alternative for many people without high risk and high cost
associated with being put to sleep.
Microdentistry
The days of painful scraping and
drilling are nearly over. The latest micropreparation
systems allow us to perform most routine dental procedures without the
need for shots, the discomfort of numb lips, or the tedious waiting
times associated with dentistry in the past. That's what I
call a balance between technology and comfort... and it costs no more
than doing it the old way.
Infection control
We are all very concerned about your
safety. Every member of our staff is trained in the most
recent infection control technologies. To list all the new
technologies we use for this would take another whole website!
Fiberoptics
Sometimes, the older technology is the
only route available. We have taken effective, older
instruments, and made them better. All of our high speed
drills are accurately guided by fiber optic technology for a lower
margin of error, and less discomfort for all.
It's one thing to tell a patient to relax but its quite another thing to provide the tools to allow them to do so.
