Cosmetic Dentistry Indiana - Dental Patient Services

What We'll Do For You!

Our vision is to provide world-class, comprehensive dental care to discerning patients in a beautiful, state-of-the-art facility. Our Team works hard to make this vision a daily reality!

Everyone Wants a Healthy Mouth!

Early detection is the key to avoiding costly and painful dental treatment. Prevention begins with the control of plaque and calculus, the main cause of decay and gum disease. In fact, periodontal (gum and bone) disease is the number one cause of tooth loss in adults. It often occurs without any obvious symptoms, and can lead to other serious health problems. Current research shows a significant link between periodontal disease and heart and respiratory ailments. We work with you to make sure that this never happens! Our preventive services include:

  • Hygiene Oral Exams
  • Laser-Assisted Cavity Detection
  • Non-Surgical Periodontal Therapy

Advanced Smile Enhancement and Makeover

We provide our patients with tooth-colored restorations because they are strong, and will make your teeth look more natural and beautiful. We use intra-oral and digital cameras, as well as computer imaging to show patients before-and-after images of their smiles. This system gives you a glimpse of the possibilities in improving your smile. Our extensive training in cosmetic dental treatment makes us uniquely qualified to help you look and feel your best.

Great care is taken to design a smile for each patient. After we understand your needs and goals, we consider the shape of your face, color of your eyes, and the shape and contour of your lips. We evaluate factors like the symmetry of your eyes and nose to the other dimensions. Once you have your new healthy smile, your confidence will soar. Our Aesthetic Services include:

Laser Dentistry

Heat and vibration are the cause of most of the discomfort associated with the drill, and 99 percent of dental procedures do not even require anesthesia when performed with a laser. The reason is that hydrokinetic cutting with a laser does not transmit heat or vibration. In addition, the laser's pinpoint accuracy gives precision to Dr. Arnold so he can leave in place more healthy tooth structure, allowing you to keep your teeth longer.

Waterlase Laser

Indiana DentistAll areas of technology are constantly changing, especially in the field of dentistry. Something new and improved is invented every day to replace the old and used. These innovations incessantly change the face of dentistry and the manner in which dentists perform patient care. Such advances like the Waterlase All-Tissue Dental Laser from BIOLASE, illustrate this point.

The Waterlase YSGG technology applies a remarkable mix of laser energy and water, or “HYDROKINETIC™" energy, to perform dental procedures minus use of the drill, often without the need for local anesthetic.

So, how does the Waterlase actually work? A laser beam energizes a highly precise spray of air and water. The water droplets absorb the laser energy and become laser-energized water particles, thus gaining the ability to rapidly remove enamel, dentin and decay.

The versatility of the Waterlase is unparalleled. It can be used in several aspects of dentistry including decay removal, cavity preparation, root canals, bone procedures, recontouring (reshaping) of “gummy” smiles, general soft tissue procedures, and general dentistry using enamel and dentin on both children and adults.

Patients will benefit tremendously from the advantages of the Waterlase All-Tissue Dental Laser. Since this amazing device does not emit the typical vibration and heat people are accustomed to with conventional drills, the need for anesthesia shots is often unnecessary.

While providing pinpoint accuracy, the Waterlase™ can successfully be used to perform procedures without the probability of damaging surrounding tissue, or causing the common cracking and weakening of the teeth related with a conventional drill. What’s not to like?
