Treatments Provided by Specialists
• Restorative dentistry
• Cosmetic dentistry
• Porcelain crown and bridge veneers
• Full mouth rehabilitation
• One hour laser whitening
o
In 60 minutes you can have beautiful white teeth. A
cool-light tooth whitening machine uses a narrow
beam of high
intensity blue light with a wavelength of between 480
and 520 nanometers. A special
optical
process removes harmful infrared and ultraviolet light.
A whitening fluid containing hydrogen
peroxide and
20 nanometers silicon dioxide rapidly oxidizes the
entire surface of all teeth in one short
treatment –
restoring your teeth to a beautiful white. This is a one
time treatment providing up to two
years of
white teeth.
• White fillings
• Dentures
• Digital Radiography (99% less exposure)
o
Using digital radiography significantly reduces your
exposure to X-rays. View high resolution images
seconds after the
device is inserted. All films are stored in computer
memory for future needs.
• Periodontal surgery (gums treatment)
• Endodontics (root canal)
• Orthodontic (braces)
• Oral Surgery
• Ultrasonic Cleaning
o
A thorough and gentle way of removing tartar and plaque
above and below the gum line. A small
water cooled metal
tip gently removes unwanted deposits.
• Lab work and sterilization area
o
State-of-the-art technology and materials are used for
lab work. Dr. Flikier supervises work performed
and is in
constant contact with the technician to ensure high
quality restorations. All services related
to oral
health maintenance, including hygienist services are
strictly based upon IMS regulations
for infection
control.
