Advanced Oral Cancer Screening

We offer an advanced Oral Cancer Screening, recommended yearly for $69.00. This section of our Web site intends to educate patients on oral cancer as well as the screening process.

The material is posted here courtesy of Zila Pharmaceuticals, Inc. who developed the Vizilite Plus process that we use.

The process uses a special chemical mouth rinse that makes the potentially dangerous tissues stand out in special lighting conditions, so that they can more easily be seen during a visual inspection, as explained by a downloadable video.

New Teeth Whitening System

See the difference between the upper and lower teeth?

That is the power of our new Teeth Whitening system!

Yes, these are my teeth. I tested the system on myself.

This system is new and works like nothing else before. Do you have problems with your teeth not responding well to any other whitening system, like tetracycline staining? Are you frustrated with poor results from teeth whitening?

Have you been told you are not a candidate for Teeth Whitening?

If you've answered "Yes" to any of the above questions this new whitening system may be your answer. This is the most powerful bleaching system Dentistry has to offer:

• Sensitivity is not an issue
• Maintaining the color change takes the least amount of effort
• If you know anyone who is frustrated with their bleaching, please send them our way!Do you know who this person is in this picture? 

Most likely you have heard him, but have never met him, he is Jim Hampton with KKIQ Radio.

Intravenous (IV) Conscious Sedation

Our office is now offering IV conscious sedation.

If you feel that Oral Sedation is not sufficient, IV conscious sedation allows a relaxed state that is controlled through the use of medications introduced through an intravenous catheter.

It will put you in a state of mind where you'll feel removed from what is really going on. You will have almost no memory of the procedure.

We are dedicated to providing you Superior Dental Care with the highest level of comfort. We would love to have the chance to make your dental experience free of anxiety and fear.

Please contact us with any questions you may have regarding this new addition to our services.

Sedation Dentistry

If you're afraid to go to the Dentist, you're at the right place. We can take care of your dental needs with no discomfort at all. With Sedation Dentistry, you'll feel like you slept through your appointments. You'll be sedated just enough to be unaware of the treatment, as if you were asleep. You'll wake up refreshed, with little or no memory of what was accomplished. Because you are completely comfortable, we can do years' worth of dental treatments in one or two visits. People with very busy schedules can get the dental care they need, easily and quickly.

How Does Oral Sedation Work?

You are given a small pill to take an hour prior to your dental appointment. Your companion will accompany you to the office. By the time you arrive, you will be very drowsy. When you arrive in our office, you will be escorted to the comfort room and covered with a thick, warm blanket. You will be placed on a monitor so that we can watch your vital signs. You may be asked to take an additional pill, depending upon how sleepy you are. After you are comfortable, we will take care of your dental needs. When your treatment is completed, your companion will return you home to finish your comfortable, relaxing day.

It is safe! You take a small pill prior to your treatment - there are no intravenous tubes or needles. Complex Dental Treatments that usually require up to eight appointments can be completed in a little as one or two appointments. People who have difficulty getting numb find that Sedation Dentistry eliminates this problem. Sedation dentistry is a safe way to reduce the fatigue of extended dental treatment requiring long visits.

Good candidates for oral sedation are people who:

* have a high fear level
* have had traumatic dental experiences
* have difficulty getting numb
* experience a severe gag reflex
* have very sensitive teeth
* have complex dental problems
* have limited time to Complete Dental Care
* hate needles and shots
* hate the noises, smells, and tastes associated with dentistry
* are afraid or embarrassed about their teeth
