Digital
X-Rays. Our dental practice utilizes
digital radiography which are faster and safer, reducing radiation
exposure by nearly 90%. Studies have
shown a 20% increase in the ability to detect decay that is present
and needs treatment over dental film. Digital files can also been
e-mailed to patients or other dental specialists. Digital x-rays
are also more environmentally-friendly as the hazardous developer
and fixer used in a developing process has been eliminated.
Intra-Oral
Camera. Patient communication is at
the forefront of our dental practice. Utilizing an intra-oral camera
allows our patients to view potential dental problems in their mouth
graphically on a monitor. Then options can be discussed in order
to customize your treatment plan. The digital image can also be
used to provide information to insurances and other doctors if necessary.
Magnification
and Illumination Enhanced Dentistry.
Dr. Morris utilizes illuminated magnification
lenses in almost all treatments in order to achieve optimal results
both surgically and aesthetically.
Laser Surgery.
We utilize the most current technology available for our patients,
including a laser for a variety of procedures. From Tongue Tie Release
to Periodontal Gum Surgery, the laser
removes tissue with minimal pain, bleeding and swelling.
Stringent
Sterilization Guidelines. Your safety
is our priority. Dr. Morris prides himself on strict sterilization
practices and abides by all OSHA guidelines in his dental office.
Every instrument, material, or protective barrier that is used is
either disposed of or sterilized properly in our state-of-the-art
Sterilization Center.
Nitrous
Oxide. For patients who experience
fear and anxiety during dental appointments, we offer an array of
sedative options. Nitrous Oxide (
or "laughing gas") is on hand to safely calm a nervous
patient, including both children and adults. This mild sedative
allows the patient to remain conscious and mildly aware during a
procedure, the effects wearing off almost immediately once the nitrous
is turned off and oxygen is administered.
Oral
Sedation. Another option Dr. Morris
offers is Oral Sedation or Pre-Medication to help reduce anxiety.
A pill will be given to the patient prior to a procedure or can
also be provided the night before a visit.
Monitors
in Operatories. Not only can you view
digital x-rays and intraoral camera photos on the overhead monitors
in each operatory, but you can lay back and relax while watching
your favorite DVD. We
want you to enjoy your dental visit.
Comfortable
Waiting Room. We value your time and always strive for short in-office wait times
for our patients.
