Tour Our Office . . .
We want you to feel welcome and comfortable at our office. Our reception area offers spacious seating and is equipped with cable television as well as a telephone for your convenience. We want your visits with us to be enjoyable for all. Our children's area includes a gaming playstation for their entertainment.
Computerization is standard through out our facility. Upon arrival, our patients check themselves in by computer and communicate their availability to our assistants' terminals. When appointments are completed and next appointments are made, patient's arrival and departure times are recorded for school passes.
Our Radiology equipment is the most advanced available in the world today. The world's foremost manufacturer of x-ray equipment, Siemens, designed our unit to take films with one-fifth the exposure of one simple bite wing x-ray taken to check for cavities. This virtually eliminates the risk from dental x-ray exposure. Additionally, our new x-ray unit has hospital style tomographic capabilities, which we regularly use to take pictures of bones deep within the temporomandibular joints.
Our Treatment Bay creates an open environment for patients and staff. Each treatment chair and unit are independent, full service units that allow every procedure at every chair.
Sterilization is of the utmost concern to all of us. We have three heat sterilizers in use all day long. Everything used in the mouth that is not sterilized is disposable. When our patients arrive and check in, the terminal at our sterilization theater indicates the procedure to be done so the proper service tray can be assembled.
Our school-to-office and back Shuttle Service provides school-age children a free ride and makes keeping orthodontic appointments simple for working parents.
Our team spirit is represented in all our staff,
from the person who greets patients, to the
lab technician and the shuttle driver.
Come see us for yourself!
What to expect on your first visit.
