PIEZO SCALING

For greater effectiveness during routine dental examinations and cleanings, as well as patient safety, Piezo Scaling allows dentists to use different inserts or tips for specific procedures or areas of the mouth. The result is easier removal of decay, plaque, and tartar and greater accuracy during dental procedures. In addition, there are fewer traumas to adjacent teeth and soft tissues.

 Nitrous Oxide

For patients that experience some degree of dental anxiety or apprehension, Nitrous Oxide is inhaled through a small mask that fits over the patient’s nose. Patients feel calm and comfortable, and are able to hear and respond during dental procedures. The effects of nitrous oxide wear off quickly, shortly after the mask is removed.
