We invest in the latest and greatest technology

Most dental practices are merely average. This practice will not settle for the norm. Average is not enough! That is why we strive to excel. We excel not only by implementing the most current dental technology, but also by providing outstanding customer service and honest, straightforward advice. We are people you can rely on.

Cerec 3D

What is ceramic restoration?

Ceramic restoration is a process where a porcelain puzzle piece is cemented into your tooth. This means that instead of unsightly silver or gold caps and fillings, you can have white, natural looking tooth.

The CEREC 3D provides precise-fitting porcelain restorations that are strong, comfortable, and aesthetically pleasing. More importantly CEREC 3D does all of this in the office.

Diagnodent

"Is that a cavity? Maybe not"

Diagnodent technology aids in the diagnosis of cavities by utilizing a beam of light to measure the density of the tooth. This enhances the conventional method of determining and validating a cavity.

Laser

Laser tag anyone?

Use of the Laser is for gum treatment and for removal of soft tissue lesions, biopsies, gingival recontouring, and periodontal treatment.

Air Abrasion

How about a power wash ?

Air abrasion technology and drill-less dentistry are available to our patients. It uses aluminum oxide powder particles to remove the decay versus conventional drilling usually without the need for anesthesia.

Digital Photography

A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words

Digital photos are a vital part of the decision making process by providing a virtual look at the patient's options and results. Once digital photos are taken these images are displayed via computer. In the relaxed setting of the bar area (see office tour), Dr. Mason, with the help of the digital photos, will consult with the patient about their dental needs and possible solutions.

Sterilization Center

When soap and water just isn't good enough::

Our impressive "steri-center" takes up almost an entire room! But more important than its size is its tried-and-true ability to quickly, safely, and effectively sterilize all of our dental tools. Now that is state of the art!

Halitosis Treatment

Treating Halitosis::

Printable Halitosis Fact Sheet

The Halimeter is a diagnostic tool to verify "oral malodor" or "halitosis". The machine measures the amount of sulfur content in a patient's mouth or nose.

Four readings are taken with a straw attached to the machine.... one reading from the posterior of the mouth , one from the anterior of the mouth , one from the right nostril and one from the left nostril. From these four readings the numbers are looked at to see if they are above the average of the calibrated machine.

It is painless and takes only a few minutes to take the readings.
