Teeth Whitening
Through our in-office method using Zoom! technology (as seen on ABC’s hit television show Extreme Makeover and The Swan), or with our take-home treatments we can help you get that white smile you’ve always wanted.

Dr. Billy is up to date on laser technology. We have a unique laser to cure the tooth-colored materials that are placed for cosmetic purposes. Other lasers include the perio laser from Lares, which is use to treat a variety of periodontal disease and for cosmetic recontouring of your gums… No more guesswork!

Digital Radiography
Digital radiography technology improves and simplifies the way we care for your teeth, resulting in better dental evaluations and treatment decisions. The instantaneous, clear computer screen image allows you to see and understand what we see.

Pulse Oximeter
"Sedation Dentistry" is an extremely relaxing method that we use any time someone wishes to be even more relaxed than what conscious sedation (laughing gas) can provide. We monitor your vital signs and the "pulse oximeter" is the latest technological advancement in this arena.  The pulse oximeter is a high-tech means to monitor blood pressure, pulse rate and amount of oxygen saturation in the blood.

Sterilization Center
Our Office "steri-center" incorporates the latest state-of-the-art antiseptic procedures, where nothing is left to chance.

• We use gloves, eye protection, masks, and barrier covers for each dental procedure.

• All dental hand pieces and instruments are cleaned thoroughly and sterilized after each use.
  Instruments are:

  • hand-scrubbed

  • ultrasonically cleaned

  • steam heat autoclaved

  • stored in sterile bags

• We use only filtered water lines and ADA-approved disinfectants.

• Bottom line - our office antiseptic procedures EXCEED the Centers for Disease Control guidelines!

Air Abrasion
This unit is used in our office to makes patients smile. Why? Because it allows us to prepare teeth for fillings without the need for a drill! Read more about air abrasion here.

Water Purity
Concerned about water purity? Well... rest easy. Our office does not use normal city water during your dental treatment. We have our own reverse osmosis and distillation water treatment system. This point-of-source water is just ONE method we use to ensure that the water we use is cleaner than the water you drink... bottled or not!

Sedation Dentistry
With Sedation Dentistry, In just one visit, we can fix years of dental problems while you relax comfortably under conscious sedation.

Sedation Dentistry is helpful for patients who:

• Have had traumatic dental experiences

• Need extensive treatment

• Have high dental anxiety and fear of the dentist

• Feel uneasy in the chair

• Have sensitive teeth

• Have difficulty getting numb

• Have a bad gag reflex

You'll be sedated just enough to be unaware of the treatment, as if you were relaxing. When finished, you will feel refreshed with little or no memory of what was accomplished.
