We have been using the NdYag and Diode soft tissue laser since 1991 for a variety of services: tongue tied frenectomies, non-surgical gum disease treatment, tissue recontouring, surgical periodontal treatment, removal of soft tissue growth abnormalities and biopsies. We also use other wavelengths of lasers for enhancement for healing, muscle pain and densensitization. For more information, go to the Academy of Laser Dentistry website: www.laserdentistry.org.

There are many factors that can contribute to gum disease. Some of the risk factors are tobacco, stress, diet, hormonal changes, diabetes, occlusion, drugs and medications, and inadequate hygiene. We use bacteria testing to know how active the disease is and pinpoint areas that need care. Some of these methods include the use of ultrasonic cleaning, soft tissue laser treatments, coupled with nutritional counseling and Pharmaden nutraceutical supplementation. Home care techniques are tailored to fit your needs. To learn more about the Pharmaden success stories, go to the website: www.pharmaden.net.

All of our fillings are mercury free. Our crowns have no nickel alloys. We use white composite resin fillings. For crowns we use only high noble gold crowns, porcelain fused to gold crowns or all ceramic crowns.

- Crowns are used to strengthen and improve the shape, size or color of teeth. They can support broken or weak teeth or those with large fillings; provide a smooth, strong, attractively contoured surface for stained, misshapen or otherwise abnormal teeth; and aid in the implantation of bridges and other implants.

Veneers are very thin, tooth-colored shells that are custom-fit and bonded to the front sides of teeth to close gaps, cover stains and discolorations, and correct chipped or misshapen teeth to give you a bright, even, attractive smile.

Root canals can prevent tooth loss when there is damage to the soft core of the tooth (the pulp). Despite its reputation as a painful ordeal, a root canal is actually not very uncomfortable. During the procedure, the damaged pulp is removed, the root canal is cleaned and sealed off, and a crown is bonded to the tooth to maintain strength.

Smile makeovers, or “smile lifts,” rejuvenate and beautify the entire smile by correcting “gummy” smiles, gaps between teeth, and stained, yellowed, chipped, worn, uneven or missing teeth. The procedure widens and brightens the smile, providing support to the lips and helping make the entire face appear younger and healthier. A cast of your mouth will be made so the dentist can determine which treatments are best (i.e. whitening, bonding, veneers/laminates, crowns, inlays and onlays). Patients can stop being self-conscious and enjoy the freedom and confidence of an attractive and natural smile.

- Bonding can improve the appearance of chipped, broken, cracked and stained teeth and spaces between teeth. Dr. Beavers applies a thin layer of tooth-colored composite resin to the teeth to restore chips and cracks, fill in gaps or cover stains, and provide patients with a more attractive and functional smile. First, a thin layer of plastic material is applied to the tooth's surface. Then Dr. Beavers sculpts the bonding material to the desired shape and bonds it to the tooth using a special light. The bonding material comes in many colors so it will be possible to match the shade of your teeth. Once the plastic has hardened, it is polished until it is entirely smooth. The procedure takes one to two hours and the bonding lasts about 7-11 years.
