Single visit dentistry: These smiles were created in my office using CEREC CAD/CAM technology. In each case shown here we utilized porcelain veneers and crowns to accomplish what would have taken many visits and over a month with the traditional method. With CEREC, the process takes one visit. This method of cosmetic "make-over" restoration can be achieved for natural teeth, implants or a combination. Learn more by visiting Single Visit Dentistry. Implant Restoration: This practice is equipped and expert to restore all dental implants from basic to the most complex.  Visit Implant Dentistry  . Cosmetic techniques: Porcelain crowns, veneers, inlays using CEREC, state-of-the-art bleaching, metal-free porcelain bridges and bonding. Digital radiography: x-rays and photos are taken digitally (without film) and viewed instantly on vivid screens. Exposure time is reduced by 90% while enhancing diagnostic quality. Laser soft tissue management: Enhances the accuracy of simple and complex dentistry. It's comfortable and actually reduces the cost of many procedures. Sterile water: Dental machines are driven by pressurized water flowing through rubber and plastic tubes. In my office, disinfection is accomplished frequently and easily by flushing the tubes with pressurized disinfectant. This is pure sterile technique which not found in most dental settings that were built without this simple and intelligent bypass. Comfort control: is facilitated by myself and my dedicated staff of many years. We are devoted to maintaining a painless and enjoyable experience for all. The ambiance is part of this with exquisite aquariums, HD TV's and digital music in full stereo. Sedation: is available utilizing Nitrous Oxide. A philosophy of compassionate dental practice is the way to maintain comfort and it is our primary goal. Continuing education: is ongoing as the art of modern general dentistry changes, resulting in the latest improvements, which adds to this list.	CEREC 3D Technology is state of the art porcelain in one visit. We create crowns, inlays, onlays and veneers using computer guided milling of porcelain (CAD/CAM) in my office; for more see Single Visit Dentistry. No impressions or temporaries are needed, only one visit to my office to complete your case. The result is the strongest, best fitting and most aesthetic restoration ever conceived, created in one visit without many procedures that used to be necessary.

All the remarkable technology enables modern general dentistry to create beautiful, functional and comfortable restorations. The relaxing decor, such as stunning aquariums and HD TV's with a vast music and video library, facilitates the comfort you will feel in my office.	We utilize the 32" HD screen in the diagnostic process. This x-ray shows a dental implant and the size and clarity on this screen enhance the information, facilitating the restorative process. During procedures we use this media to enjoy movies, television and music videos. Meet THE STAFF AT OUR PRACTICE OF DENTISTRY:
Mariana is our #1 dental assistant. Her vast expertise includes caring for our patients, ensuring their comfort and operating the CEREC software seen next to her here. Mariana is my 'right hand man' in every procedure, although I think she would prefer the phrase 'left hand woman'.	Lisa is the office manager. A fiftteen year veteran of this practice, she understands every nuance of the office and its operation. Lisa oversees everything that happens from the daily clinical experience to the various business assignments including predicting insurance benefits. She is literally the voice of the practice.
Carmen is the newest member of our team. As you can see here, sometimes the patient is one of our own. Carmen's special talent is chairside assisting, she intuitively anticipates my needs while managing the comfort of our patient. My remarkable staff is a major part of the success of our work, and equally as integral to the enjoyment of the days at work.	I believe continuity is a factor for the success of a team in dentistry. Lisa is now in her fifteenth year of work for me and Mariana is in her eleventh year. We recently celebrated Carmen's second anniversary.
