We strive to provide our patients with the best dental care
available. Our pledge is to provide you with the highest Quality,

office. When specific specialists are required, we work with some of
the best practitioners in the area.
General dentistry is the cornerstone of
good oral health. It starts with an examination that includes a visual
examination and an appropriate radiographic examination. We assess your
general dental health, including cavities, periodontal condition, soft and
hard tissue conditions, home care habits, TMJ, oral cancer screening and
occlusal evaluation. We then explore your major concerns
and desires. Together we arrive at a plan that addresses all of your needs
and desires.

Studies have shown that first impressions
are the strongest. A great smile is essential to a great first impression.
Cosmetic dentistry has entered a new era with stronger, more life-like
materials and techniques. Dr. Brown provides the latest in cosmetic
dental procedures. This
is accomplished by first analyzing
your smile. Your desires
and existing oral condition are all considered to arrive at the best possible treatment options
for you. Newer materials and
techniques provide the basis for remarkable results. Dr. Brown keeps
up to date with the latest that dentistry has to offer. He is one of a
few Lumineer certified dentists and is a member of the American Academy of
Cosmetic Dentistry.
Dental implants provide a solid
foundation for replacing missing teeth. You no longer need to suffer with
missing teeth or loose and slipping dentures. Dental implants can be
used to replace a single missing tooth, several missing teeth, or provide a
stable foundation to secure dentures. Dr. Brown has placed and
restored dental
implants since 1982. He is experienced with most dental implant systems. From the new "mini"
implants to the state-of-the-art Spectra System's "ScrewPlant", dental
implants provide a reliable and predictable means for replacing missing
teeth. Dr. Brown is one of a few dentists worldwide who is board certified
by the American Board of Oral Implantology / Implant Dentistry. He is
also a Fellow of the American Academy of Implant Dentistry and a
Diplomate of the International Congress of Oral Implantologists.
Cerec 3-D Restorations
The traditional method for making
tooth-colored cosmetic dental restorations and crowns
involve a number of dental appointments
with the final restoration or crown
being made by a dental laboratory. This involves the
wearing of a temporary restoration during the two to three weeks it takes the
laboratory to complete the restoration or crown. Today,
Cerec 3-D's CAD/CAM dental
restoration milling system allows us to custom
fabricate restorations and crowns in the office
and cement them in place - all in a single appointment.
Sedation
Fear of the dentist is quite common, but it
doesn't have to be. Dr. Brown offers a number of methods to reduce your
fear and make your visit as pain and stress free as possible. Oral sedation is one
method that can reduce apprehension for the mildly anxious patient.
Nitrous oxide is also available to further reduce the anxiety associated with
dental procedures. For the extremely anxious (those who are just plain
scared to death), Dr. Brown is licensed to
perform conscious sedation (I.V. sedation). Conscious sedation provides
the greatest level of sedation and anxiety reduction without putting the patient
completely to sleep. Additional local anesthetic agents are used to make
your visit comfortable. We would be more than happy to discuss your
particular fears and the ways we can over come them. You don't have to be
afraid of the dentist.
