A brilliant new approach to cavity (caries) detection. By hugging the tooth and illuminating it in safe, near-infrared light, CariVu's transillumination technology makes the enamel appear transparent while porous lesions or cracks trap and absorb the light. This allows the doctor to see through the tooth, exposing its structure and the actual structure of any carious lesions with very high accuracy.

Regular "check-up" appointments are an important part of how we administer preventative care. While you are settling in for your appointment and we are catching up, we are also taking a look to see if you are just as healthy as when we saw you last. To prevent oral diseases such as decay, periodontitis and oral cancer, our hygienists are listening for changes in your homecare, dietary habits and lifestyle choices. The dental hygiene appointment includes a process of assessment, diagnosis, planning, and implementation of treatment.

Porcelain veneers are thin shells that are bonded to the front of one or more teeth to mask flaws and imperfections. They are stronger and longer lasting than fillings, and like crowns, veneers provide strength to the teeth. Unlike crowns, only a small portion of tooth surface is removed. More of your healthy tooth structure can be preserved.

Dental implants are the answer to the question, when are scientists going to come up with a way to grow missing teeth? Although not developed from cells, titanium dental implants share the same bone replacing foundations as hips and other joints. Implants are specially made titanium posts that are placed in the bone and serve as a new tooth root.
