Hard and Soft Tissue Lasers

TIn order to bring you a more pleasant dental experience, we use laser dentistry for both hard and soft tissue procedures. Laser dentistry delivers more accuracy and precision in many dental procedures with your comfort in mind.

With laser dentistry, we can remove decay, perform a root canal, treat canker sores, herpetic and aphthous ulcers or even create the smile you’ve always wanted. Tooth, bone and gum procedures have never been easier. Procedures that once took several appointments can now be finished in as little as one visit! Laser dentistry can cut into the tissue without the discomfort that heat, pressure and vibration normally causes. Thus, the patient needs less anesthesia or fewer shots. It’s so gentle that the procedures can be completed with little or no bleeding and less swelling.

When performed by a trained dentist, laser dentistry is extremely safe. Ask us how comfortable your next procedure can be with our new laser dentistry system.

Digital X-ray

We offer one of the latest technological advances in dentistry with digital radiography (X-rays). A wireless sensor is placed in the mouth, and a computer generates an image in 30 seconds as opposed to the general 4-6 minute wait time for images taken on dental film. These X-rays can also be enhanced on the computer and enlarged.

Not only are they friendly to the environment, they are much safer than traditional X-rays. Digital radiographs reduce radiation exposure by 90 percent!

The Wand

Many patients may get apprehensive when visiting the dentist, especially when an anesthetic is necessary to perform treatment. The sight of a needle or syringe can make the patient very uneasy, which is why we use a groundbreaking new technique called the WAND.

Oftentimes, the discomfort a patient feels comes from the flow of the anesthetic rather than the needle itself. The WAND makes the injection more comfortable for the patient as it emits a balanced flow of anesthetic through the tissue.

The comfort of our patients is important to us, so we are proud to offer this latest technology in our office.

Lumismile

Our office is glad to offer the option of Lumismile! Lumismile is a digital smile makeover that allows patients to preview how they’d look wearing Lumineers. First, our staff will take a digital photograph of you smiling. A Lumismile artist will then retouch your smile, making it look as if you were wearing Lumineers. Your Lumismile simulated photograph will be ready to view while you’re still at the office, so you may talk to Dr. Prince about Lumineers on the same day!

To schedule your next appointment to take advantage of Lumismile, please call our office.
