Why Us? And What Makes Us Unique:

​

We empower you with options and knowledge to make your own care decisions.

Many people avoid seeing the dentist out of fear.

• Fear of pain

• Fear of the unknown

• Fear of the cost of care

 

Another reason for delaying that visit to the dentist is the lack of perceived need for dental care and how that can affect overall health.

Whatever the reason we understand that a vital part of our relationship with you is to empower you with knowledge. Allowing you to self-advocate for optimum oral health whatever circumstances you find yourself in. We are here for you so that you can understand what decisions you have to make to achieve your best oral and systemic health.

Predictable Long-Term Results
Without fail the main reason that patients come to see us is to simply "keep" their teeth. Our goal will always be to first address your primary concern and also view your overall oral health from the long-term viewpoint. We will work in conjunction with your general dentist to support your oral health throughout your life-time.

Embracing Smart Technology

In recent times there have been some major advances in the technology used to deliver dental care:

• Digital radiography: Instantaneous capture of the image for review, measurement and archiving

• 3D radiography - CBCT: Vastly improved visualization of the teeth and jaws to facilitate planning and communication between the periodontist, the patient and the rest of the team

• Intra-oral digital scanner: Fast and simple technology that involves no messy materials and an end product that can be sent electronically to the dental lab or the rest of the dental team

• 3D printing: Facilitates design and fabrication of customized surgical guides and templates to allow precision placement of dental implants and management of complex esthetic periodontal surgery

• High Volume Extra-Oral Suction units with UVC panel and HEPA filters to effectively manage aerosols

• Individual placed HEPA filter-air purifiers: that provide air quality -capturing 99.97% allergens and biomaterial from the air via a 360°ree; intake for a room air exchange rated of 5+ times per hour with Intelli-check electronic filter indicator to signal when the filter needs to be changed

• Digital Photography: Being a practice highly focused on aesthetic results, digital photography is an integral part of way we practice. Images are readily captured and saved to facilitate diagnosis, planning, and monitoring of each case. Photography is an invaluable tool to facilitate communication with the patient and the rest of the dental team.

​

We realize that patients want to be comfortable during their treatments, which is why we focus on putting you at ease from the moment you step through our doors.But we also work to make you truly feel at home by maintaining our warm, welcoming environment and to reduce any anxiety by arming you with complete knowledge of the treatment procedure, timing and cost involved. We also provide some physical comforts during treatment such as a pillow for your neck, a blanket should you get cold, individual water bottles if you are thirsty, just to name a few.

​

We employ latest technologies to make the procedure as smooth as possible. Certainly, pain management with use of local anesthesia is a key and we offer Oral Sedation, in tablet form, to make the appointment more comfortable emotionally and physically.
