Dental sedation can be used when a patient suffers from dental anxiety or dental phobia. Depending on the extent of the anxiety or phobia, varying degrees of dental sedation can be utilized, including conscious sedation with sedatives or inhalation nitrous oxide sedation. These sedation techniques enable patients who might otherwise avoid the dentist to receive dental treatment necessary for a healthy smile. Dr. Calian offers both nitrous oxide and oral sedation as a way of treating his anxious patients more comfortably. Sedation allows more dentistry to be completed in single visit instead of requiring the patient to return again and again.

Your X-ray projections appear on computer monitors within three seconds and in full view so that both patients and our professional team can simultaneously view the results. The computer allows enlargement, highlighting, magnifying, coloring, clear viewing, and contrasting of X-ray photos. This new technology adds further benefits for our patients. We can detect cavities far better than with the old system, which means sooner and smaller than ever before. An example of digital X-ray is shown here in small size. You can envision what this would look like in a full monitor screen.

Recent advances in laser technology have allowed select dentists to offer laser treatment . A dental laser is a high-tech device that generates a highly concentrated beam of light, which can be used to treat tooth decay, enamel and gum tissue. Advantages of laser dentistry include less pain, minimal bleeding, reduced risk of infection, minimal or no anesthesia, no noise, faster healing, a more sterilized environment (laser kills bacteria), and treatment of canker sores.

We're excited to be able to offer our patients drill-free dentistry . No more shots, numb lips, or loud drills are need in appropriate cases when removing tooth decay with a technique known as air abrasion. A combination of supersonic air flow and a mild powder abrasive is used to gently blow tooth decay away. Early cavity detection is the secret to using this pain-free technique.

Invisalign clear aligners are an affordable, doctor-friendly alternative to traditional braces. Invisalign uses a series of clear overlay templates called aligners that have been generated by computer simulation to gradually move the teeth. This brace is available to adult patients with certain orthodontic bite problems. Straighter teeth promote healthier gums, which leads to easier cleanings.
