Comprehensive Dental Care,

 with an Emphasis on Patient Advocacy

Interactive Diagnosis - Patient advocacy starts with a very thorough exam, where we use video scopes so you see what we see.  We explain your conditions, and offer the best video patient education materials on the planet.  We print packets of personalized information for  patients with special needs. 

Choices in Dental Care - Dental problems can usually be treated in more than one way.  You deserve to learn about your choices.  We have succeeded when we have given care that is right for you.  We offer  a full range of dental options, from basic to elegant.

For example, you can replace old amalgam fillings with white composite fillings or porcelain inlays.

We have over 25 years of experience developing advanced methods to treat tooth decay, broken teeth, tooth loss, gum disease, infections and cosmetic conditions. 

Painless Anesthesia with The Wand®

You do not have to be a dental phobic to appreciate this revolutionary device.  The Wand® uses a microprocessor to deliver dental anesthetic at a slow enough rate that most people do not notice discomfort. 

We now offer advanced oral cancer screening with the ViziLite Plus system, where we use a simple mouth rinse then exam with a special light in an effort to identify cancerous or pre-cancerous lesions earlier. 

By the way, we welcome phobics.  Colonel Sanders isn’t the only one who knows how to “do chicken right”!
