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
All
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?
