Services
Solea Laser Dentistry
Our Solea laser system eliminates the need for drills and anesthesia in most procedures. This FDA-approved technology allows painless cavity treatment and soft tissue procedures with minimal bleeding. Patients avoid post-operative numbness, enabling immediate return to normal activities while maintaining exceptional precision in dental care.
Silver Diamine Fluoride
This non-invasive treatment stops tooth decay progression using FDA-approved antibiotic liquid. Ideal for young children or special needs patients, it prevents further decay while preserving tooth structure. The quick application process takes just minutes with reapplication every six months until restorative treatment becomes feasible.
Special Needs Dentistry
Our practice offers specialized dental care for patients with developmental or physical disabilities. With advanced training and accessible facilities, we implement customized treatment plans using behavior management techniques and appropriate sedation options to ensure comfortable, effective dental experiences for special needs children.
Pediatric Emergency Care
We provide immediate treatment for dental trauma including knocked-out teeth and facial injuries. Our team offers 24/7 emergency guidance with same-day appointments available. Special protocols ensure safe treatment of both baby and permanent teeth while minimizing anxiety during urgent dental situations.
Sedation Dentistry
We offer multiple sedation options including nitrous oxide and general anesthesia for anxious or young patients. Our trained specialists ensure safe administration while maintaining patient comfort. Morning appointments guarantee proper fasting requirements for sedation procedures, creating stress-free dental experiences for children requiring additional support.

Questions
When should my child first visit the dentist?
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends the first visit when the first tooth erupts or by age one. Early visits establish good oral health habits and prevent future dental issues.
What technology do you use for pain-free procedures?
We use the Solea CO2 laser system that eliminates the need for drills and anesthesia in most cases. This technology allows painless treatment of cavities and soft tissue procedures with immediate recovery.
How do you handle dental emergencies after hours?
Call our office at any time for emergency guidance. We provide immediate phone consultation and schedule same-day appointments for urgent cases involving trauma, severe pain, or infection.
Do you treat children with special needs?
Yes, we specialize in care for special needs patients with accessible facilities and customized treatment approaches. Our team has advanced training to accommodate various developmental and physical disabilities in a supportive environment.
What sedation options are available?
We offer nitrous oxide (laughing gas), oral sedation, and general anesthesia. Our specialists determine the safest, most effective option based on your child's specific needs and treatment requirements.
How does Silver Diamine Fluoride work?
This FDA-approved liquid stops cavity progression without drilling. Applied directly to affected teeth, it prevents further decay while providing immediate relief from sensitivity in a quick, painless treatment session.
