- Digital state of the art panoramic radiograph and pantomography (x-ray) machine that reduces radiation exposure to our patients between 60 and 80 percent. It minimizes the further radiation for the patient.
- Digital radiography is used using a sensor which provides the clinician with the ability to store their images on a computer. This provides two key advantages over film in the form of full screen images that can be enhanced and zoomed in on, aiding diagnostics and providing easier patient communication, further reduces radiation administered to the patient.

Nitrous oxide/oxygen is a very safe and effective sedation agent that helps calm a child’s fears. Used in dental procedures, it has the additional benefit of minimizing the gag reflex. It is easily administered and safe procedure.How does nitrous oxide/oxygen work?
A fitted mask is placed over the child’s nose. The child then breathes normally. The child will smell a sweet smell then experience a sense of well-being and relaxation. Time will seem to pass more quickly.
What happens afterwards?
When treatment is over, the nitrous oxide/oxygen is eliminated after a short period of breathing oxygen. There are no lingering effects. There might be minor side effects like nausea it can be minimized by reducing the nitrous oxide. We recommend child not to drink and eat 2 hours prior to the use to minimize nausea.
Deep Sedation Dentistry
Deep Sedation involves using general anesthetic drugs to administer sedation and fro recovery. When using Deep Sedation, we work with a board-certified anesthesiologist. Personalized care is our optimum goal.
Digital charting- An effort to provide optimum care, we use latest digital charting software to allow paperless charting .
