Cosmetic laser dentistry is the new, easy way to give you that perfect smile you’ve always wanted. How safe is a dental laser? Medical lasers have been used in the fields of ophthalmology, neurogsurgery, ear/nose/throat, and dermatology for decades. It’s only in the last ten years that advances in technology have made it possible for it to be used in individual dental offices-for both adults and children.

Compared to traditional instruments and methods, the dental laser actually minimizes or eliminates the need for needles, anesthesia, scalpels, or sutures. Procedures are done more quickly and efficiently, so you spend less time in the chair. Various benefits with laser includes: Gum sculpting, Soft-tissue surgery, Sulcular disinfection, and Crown lengthening. Please ask Dr. Dao how laser can benefit you and improve your smile.

Has this ever happened to you?

You call your dentist to make an appointment. Maybe you thought you would do it quickly between errands so that you could check it off of your to do list. Make dental appointment. Check.

But you were multi-tasking and forgot to write down the appointment. Was it for 4 or 4:30? Did they say Thursday or Tuesday? Wow. Now you have to call again.

Not at our office. That’s because our patients know they can opt into our easy text and email reminder system to let them know their upcoming appointment specifics. Don’t like texting or emails? No problem – we’ll still call you so you can hear our friendly voice!

Tooth loss can have a far-reaching effect on your dental health and personal appearance. When you lose one or more teeth, your remaining teeth can drift out of position. This can lead to a change in your bite, the loss of additional teeth, decay, and even gum disease.

Dental implants can be an effective method to replace one tooth or several teeth. Each implant consists of a titanium anchor that is inserted into the jawbone, and an abutement, which is then fitted with an artificial tooth to simulate a natural tooth. Implants can also be used to help support a bridge, replace a partial denture or even secure a fixed denture.

A fixed denture, or overdenture, is an implant-supported denture that is attached to implants to give additional support and comfort. Traditional dentures rest on the gums; an implant-supported denture is used when a person doesn’t have any teeth in the jaw, but has enough bone in the jaw to support implants. An implant-supported denture has special attachments that snap onto attachments on the implants.

Implant-supported dentures are usually made for the lower jaw because traditional lower dentures tend to be less stable on the bottom. A traditional top denture is usually quite stable on its own and doesn’t need the extra support offered by implants. However, you can receive an implant-supported denture in either the upper or lower jaw.

You can remove an implant-supported denture easily. Some people prefer to have fixed (permanent) crown and bridgework in their mouths that can’t be removed. Dr. Dao will consider your particular needs and preferences when suggesting a fixed or removable option.

People choose sedation for different reasons. One of the most common is due to fear/anxiety. Many people avoid going to the dentist because of their fear. Some have never been and some have had horrible experiences as a child or adult. That fear is very difficult to overcome. Sedation, for some, is the only way they will have their dental needs treated.

Other patients are not necessarily afraid, but they have extensive needs. Under an average dental setting, numerous appointments (5-10) may be needed to complete their treatment. This could take months – even years to complete everything.  Since many people are very busy with work and family obligations it is difficult to arrange multiple appointments, therefore sedation is chosen. With sedation, treatment can usually be completed in one to two visits.

The first method is Oral Sedation – a pill.  We use pills for several reasons.  Many of our patients are needle-phobic so they would not like to be told that we must use a needle to sedate them.  With oral sedation we can work on patients for longer periods of time.  Oral sedation is very safe.  The pills stay in a patient’s system for several hours after the appointment, so we get few complaints of pain after procedures are completed.

The second method is Laughing Gas (Nitrous Oxide).  It is one of the most popular modality we use for very effective sedation. Inhaling the gas provides less anxiety for the duration of the treatment. Once dental treatment is completed, breathing in 100% oxygen will displace all Nitrous Oxide out of the body. Within 10 minutes, you are back to your normal self with very little side affect.
