Cosmetic
dentistry isn't just for the movie stars! New techniques allow us
to reshape your smile with minimal changes to your natural teeth. See our
Cosmetic Dentistry page to see how subtle changes
can make a dramatic impact on the way you look and feel.
TMJ
is an acronym for temporo-mandibular joint, which is a fancy way of saying
jaw joint. TMJ problems include a popping sound and sensation near the jaw
joint. That's why some patients refer to TMJ as "That's my jaw!"

Digital
x-rays can now be taken using sensors that transmit the image directly
into a computer monitor. This larger image helps the patient understand the
doctor's explanations more easily and enables the doctor to "zoom in"
on a specific area of the tooth. An important advantage to this new technology
is that it reduces the amount of radiation by 90%.

Is
somebody snoring in your house?
One-third of the population snores. Chronic snoring often leads to sleep apnea which cuts off the flow of oxygen to the brain and can lead to serious health problems. Spouses and other family members also suffer from disrupted sleep cycles.
Now a simple mouthpiece can be used to stop snoring in most cases. Click here to learn more.
DIAGNOdent
The DIAGNOdent is a new high tech laser system that aids in early diagnosis of cavities in the complex anatomy of the chewing surfaces of teeth. It utilizes laser light of a defined wavelength to help detect and quantify demineralized tooth substances without x-ray exposure.
