2032 Dentistry- our Clinic
People are the most important part of our dental clinic, but the technology is also critical to your oral care and to keep you comfortable. The combination of great people and leading technology can even make a dental appointment enjoyable!
Keeping you comfortable during your appointment
-
Each of our operatories is outfitted with TVs so you can watch Netflix or Youtube while your dental work is carried out. Text us your favorite show and we can have it ready for you, don't forget to bring your headphones!
-
Our chairs are the latest ADEC chairs which are superbly designed and comfortable for both the patient and care providers.
-
For even comfort, we offer Nitros Oxide Sedation - often called laughing gas, to help you have a pleasant experience.
-
Our operatories are spacious and have windows for natural lighting (well two rooms do not have windows!). Overall the space feels more like a spa and a medical clinic.
Our Technology
-
Each operatory has a Surgically Clean Air system to provide the best air quality. Surgically Clean Air's medical grade purifiers use multi-stage air purifying technologies that work together to clean, purify and re-energize the indoor air. The six (6) stage filtration system captures dust particles, pollen, volatile organic chemicals (VOCs), gases, mold, allergens, viruses, odors, bio-aerosols, and many other pollutants that are found in inside workspaces. The negative ion generator makes indoor feel more pure, clean and energized to help combat fatigue. For an air purifier to deliver its benefits throughout the indoor space it needs to move large volumes of air through its filtration system effectively - our system filters the air over 30 times an hour.

Digital Radiographs. No waiting for x-rays, our digital radiographs not only immediately go into your digital chart, they do it with a fraction of the radiation of film based x-rays (up to 90% less).
How much radiation is it? When you get a set of 4 “bite wing” X-rays the total amount of radiation is only about 0.005 mSv. In comparison, a typical 3.5-hour plane ride exposes each passenger to approximately 0.01 mSv, twice as much. A chest x-ray gives 0.1 mSv, equivalent to 80 bitewing x-rays! So your dental xray is quite small - of course, we always our cautious and recommend a radiograph when it is diagnostically significant.
-
Digital Scanner - Say goodbye to impressions trays! Not only a really cool piece of technology, this means we no longer have to stick a tray of goop into your mouth to take an impression. The scanner is a small wand with a camera at the end of it and it creates a digital 3D model of your teeth, your bite. It is really sophisticated software.
We use the model for any lab work and to track changes in your oral health. It is also pretty neat to show you your teeth.
-
Automatic Appointment Notifications will help you remember your appointments and change if required. We send out text, email, or phone messages to remind you of your appointment. You can confirm the appointment, or request a change if necessary. These can be configured by you if you don't like reminders on multiple devices.
-
Fully Digital Charting means we have seamless dental management system, from your chart to your billing resulting in better accuracy, recall systems so you don't forget checkups, and required treatment. It also means the dentist can often read chart updates and review your radiograph prior to entering the treatment operatory
-
Our Sterilization Area has state-of-art equipment and record keeping. We use a sterile 'cassette system' for the instruments. These arrive in sterile packaging and only opened once treatment begins. Afterwards, the cassettes goes through a wash cycle to clean and then a sterilization chamber to sterilize.
-
Online Electronic Forms that you can complete outside of the clinic from any device. Updating medical history or your personal data is simple as filling an online form. These are HIPAA compliant (privacy standard) and very secure.
