Library Articles

We hope that the dental articles in this library expand your knowledge and appreciation for your oral health, as well as your understanding of the tools we use at our practice.

Teeth Whitening - Popular, safe, and effective, teeth whitening can makeover your image in about an hour. If you want a reason to smile, consider in-office professional teeth whitening for a brighter smile.

Oral Cancer - Oral cancer, which claims the lives of 8,000 Americans each year, is painless, sneaky, and often undetected until it has spread to the neck and lymph nodes. If oral cancer is detected in the early stage, patients are more likely to survive. Our Sarasota office screens for oral cancer at every check up.

Periodontal Therapies - When periodontal disease is not treated, it will spread and compromise gums, teeth, bone, and it can lead to heart disease and strokes, as well as diabetes and pregnancy complications. Many treatments can reverse the effects of gum disease and restore oral health.

Intraoral Cameras - People seldom have a clear idea of the actual status of their dental health. Even with lights and mirrors, a patient can’t see what the dentist can – that is, until now.

Laser Dentistry - A part of medical surgeries for many years, lasers now offer dental patients precise, efficient, and effective minimally-invasive treatments, as well as reduced healing time. They also function in many other capacities to improve patient care and treatments.

X-Rays - See through dental X-rays concerns to learn the truth behind the myths.

CEREC - Your time is valuable, and so is your smile. Now you can have a strong, beautiful, and permanent dental crown milled and placed in a single office visit. With CEREC technology, millions of dental patients have enjoyed the convenience of one-visit crowns.
