Advanced Technologies & Systems We Utilize Include:
Lumineers® System Veneers
REVERSIBLE TREATMENT TO DRAMATICALLY ENHANCE YOUR SMILE • NO SHOTS • NO DRILLING DOWN OF TEETH (LESS PREPARATION)
Lumineers® are the comfortable, conservative way to a beautiful smile! Imagine what it would be like to have the smile of your dreams... This is possible with the Lumineers® porcelain veneers system. In as few as two or three appointments, Dr. Bayless can create this kind of smile for you – a smile that will radiate confidence and vitality. AND by using this system, we can apply the thin, custom-made, permanent veneers to the front side of your teeth without extensive preparations (so the treatment can be reversed), and in most cases without injections. No kidding! Call us about your free cosmetic consultation.
Clear & Removable Invisalign® Braces
NO METAL BARS • NO METAL BRACKETS
If clear and removable braces sound perfect to you, you could be on your way to a straight smile in no time with Invisalign®. Through a series of clear Aligners®, this comfortable and removable alternative to traditional braces straightens your teeth with noticeable results but without the noticeable bars and brackets of metal braces. The Aligners are changed approximately every two weeks to straighten your teeth step by step. AND for your ease and convenience, the Aligners can be taken out while you eat and brush your teeth. Call today to schedule your orthodontic consultation.
Powerful, Professional Teeth Whitening
EASY WHITENING OPTION • FANTASTIC RESULTS IN ONLY ONE HOUR • NOTICEABLE DIFFERENCE AFTER JUST 30 MINUTES • NO GIMMICK LIGHT
In addition to giving you the benefit of a cleaner looking and more attractive smile, whiter teeth can also enhance your self-confidence and self-esteem. As a bonus, whitening can lead to healthier teeth because when your teeth look better, you tend to take better care of them to keep them looking terrific. Ask us about brightening your smile at your next visit. We offer both convenient take home whitening solutions (with custom trays) and Opalescence® Boost by Ultradent, which is in-office power bleach. No lights are needed for this powerful, professional bleach. Good results are seen after 30 minutes, and excellent results are seen after one hour.
Tooth-Colored Fillings
Composite fillings can be adhesively held in place or “bonded.” Because they can be bonded to teeth, composite fillings allow for more conservative preparations where less healthy tooth structure is removed. This often results in smaller filings than that of amalgam (silver fillings), and they are more natural looking. The tooth-colored material is cured with a special light and the surface is shaped and polished to match the tooth, rendering the final restoration virtually undetectable to the eye and very natural feeling in the mouth.
Oraqix® No-Needle Anesthesia
NO-NEEDLE ANESTHESIA MEANS NO SHOTS FOR DEEP CLEANINGS! • NO NEED TO AVOID THE DENTIST ANY LONGER
Dr. Bayless also uses Oraqix® for effective, needle-free anesthesia. This product can be used in procedures that in the past required shots, such as deep cleanings. It uses a comfortable applicator and dispenser that apply Oraqix to the gumline around the area being treated. After just a minute, that area of your mouth is numb and your dental needs can be taken care of comfortably. AND the numbness of Oraqix won’t linger all day. Your mouth’s natural feeling will return quickly, so you can get on with life.
Digital X-rays & Digital Imaging
LESS RADIATION • ACCURATE DIAGNOSES • FASTER TO PROCESS • COMFORTABLE FOR YOU
Digital x-rays are faster than conventional x-rays, and they are comfortable for you. They also aid us to accurately diagnose your oral health needs. All with less radiation exposure! We employ digital imaging, as well, to show you how fabulous your new and improved smile could look, before treatment even begins. With no chemical processing needed, digital technology helps us do our part to keep the environment safe, too.
Intraoral Camera
SEE EXACTLY WHAT DR. BAYLESS SEES • HELPS ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS ABOUT TREATMENT
Using this camera, we can give you a “tour” of your mouth on a TV screen (which is really cool). We also use the camera to guide you through your diagnosis and treatment options. This is helpful in keeping our patients at the center of their treatment plans. We want you to understand your dental treatment at every step of the way, so you can make informed decisions for your oral health and smile.
Isolite System – Rest Your Jaw!
Happy patients spend less time in the chair with more comfort, so we use the Isolite System. This system has a soft and flexible mouthpiece to shield your tongue and cheek during procedures. It has a light to illuminate your mouth from the inside, so treatments are shadowless and more efficient. AND it has a place for you to rest your jaw. It also eliminates the need for cotton rolls and rinse breaks. All because your comfort is paramount, and we know you’ll especially appreciate the faster treatment times.
Sedation Options
Dental anxiety is not unusual, and people of any age can experience such feelings. We will adjust our care to meet your needs, so you can receive the treatment you desire at a pace that feels comfortable to you. We also offer nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and oral conscious sedation to help you relax. Please share your feelings and concerns with us, so we can accommodate you and make your dental visits as anxiety- and pain-free as we can.
Dental Implant Restorations
Many of the millions of people who are missing teeth struggle with ill-fitting, uncomfortable dentures or retainers with false teeth. If you know what this feels like and are ready for a solution, we have one for you! Dr. Bayless and our team can give your smile a second chance through dental implant restorations... Implants can solve the practical and social problems associated with dentures. They are effective in stabilizing dentures to fit better, feel better, look better, and chew better. They preclude cavities in restored teeth, make it so you won’t need a root canal, and healthy implants can even prevent bone loss.
Dental Magnification Loupes
Excellent dental care requires exacting precision and attention to detail. We must work in very small spaces and be accurate to a fraction of a millimeter. To help us, Dr. Bayless and our hygienists use special prismatic magnification glasses, or “loupes.”
In addition to stabilizing dentures, implants can be used in some crown and bridge applications, as well as single-tooth replacements. Call us to find out more about how this wonderful option in restorative dentistry could change your life!
