Finding disease is often an inexact science. Sometimes it is just educated guess work. However, technology is giving us a better view of disease at an earlier stage. The DIAGNOdent laser system is a new breakthrough in dental disease detection. Before its use about fifty percent of cavities went unnoticed.

Dr. Nolan uses the DIAGNOdent’s laser light to harmlessly, and precisely, find disease. One of the most difficult areas to detect disease is on the chewing surfaces of teeth and under and around metal fillings. Because we can now uncover disease in these areas more consistently we can prevent significant tooth loss.

The DIAGNOdent laser makes it possible for us to lift the veil on what used to be hidden areas of disease. All this is done safely, painlessly and without exposure to x-rays.

A Contribution to Our Heroes

Our greatest sympathy and compassion goes out to all the families and friends of those who have been directly or indirectly affected by the terrorist attacks on the East Coast. We offer our most heartfelt prayers.

It is time for personal reflection and spending more time with our spouse, significant other, friends or children. Work is important but is secondary to our family and loved ones. Life is much more pleasurable when you can share it with others.

We have been told to be more aware of the people around us. The way we travel is permanently altered. Some of the freedoms we took for granted have been taken away from us. We must strive to take back those freedoms while respecting and caring for all Americans.

Few patients would act our recommendations if their fear of dentistry kept them from accepting them. A comfortable experience also improves the likelihood patients will continue with their regular checkups to keep their new smile healthy.

Besides the technology that increases treatment comfort, our patients enjoy high speed DSL in the reception area and in our treatment rooms during breaks in therapy. Sometimes it is difficult to drag them away from their surfing. We remodeled our practice to create an environment far beyond the traditional dental practice. You will see fresh, bright colors, a relaxing waterfall, classic looking stone floors throughout the practice and plush carpeting in the reception area. Many patients also favorably comment on our calming fish tank.

Tooth Loss Leader Loses

Dr. Nolan and our entire team of doctors pursue continuing education to increase their skills in and knowledge of artistic smile design, comfort advancements and health improvements. Recently, Dr. Nolan attended courses focused on periodontal disease.

The therapies taught included how to effectively stop this disease of the gums and bone that is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults. Using these improved surgical methods, Dr. Nolan is able to prevent later stage periodontal (gum) disease from causing devastating smile damage. However, gum disease left unchecked can lead to significant tooth loss. Fortunately, we can stop gum disease at it earliest stages with regular dental check ups.
