Top-quality General Dentistry Services Using Advanced Technology
Digital X-rays
In addition to computed tomography (CT) scans, we also use digital x-rays to obtain a more detailed view of your teeth and their alignment. Digital x-rays provide a sharper, more accurate image than traditional film x-rays. Using these precise images, we can make more accurate diagnoses and create personalized, efficient treatment plans. Digital x-rays are easier to store and to transfer, and they are also very safe since there is no radiation exposure involved.

As part of our commitment to using advanced technology to benefit our patients, we use minimally invasive dental lasers to perform periodontal treatment. Whether you are seeking cosmetic gum reshaping or treatment for gum disease, laser dentistry techniques can make procedures safer and your recovery much quicker. Lasers actually sterilize tissue during treatment, and because they immediately seal off blood vessels, you will experience very little discomfort and little to no bleeding following your procedure.

Dental Technology
At Signature Smiles, we proudly treat our patients using the latest equipment and diagnostic tools. DIAGNOdent® laser cavity detection allows us to spot the early signs of cavities and to treat dental decay before it threatens the healthy structure of your tooth. We also utilize CT scans, which provide a detailed, 3D image of your mouth. These precise images are especially useful in the successful placement of dental implants.
Read MoreSedation Dentistry
We understand that dental anxiety is a very real problem for many of our patients. To help you overcome your apprehension so that you can receive the treatment you need, we offer various methods of sedation, including nitrous oxide (laughing gas), oral sedation, intramuscular injections, and intravenous (IV) sedation. We will work closely with you to determine the best type of sedation for you, based on your health, anxiety levels, and the procedure you are undergoing.

Root Canal Therapy
Our doctors are trained to perform an innovative procedure known as pulp capping. In most cases, this technique enables our patients to avoid the need for a root canal. To treat a damaged tooth, we will carefully remove all decay, using special tools to avoid the dental nerve. If the decay is located close to the nerve, we will place a medicated barrier in front of the nerve to protect it as we clean out the inner chamber of the tooth. This technique is highly effective, and in almost 95% of our cases, the patient's nerves are able to successfully heal on their own.

Gum disease is a common dental condition that results when plaque and bacteria build up in your mouth. The best way to treat gum disease is through rigorous preventative care. When you make your biannual visits to Signature Smiles, we provide thorough cleanings and carefully monitor your gum health. We also offer several treatments for advanced gum disease, including scaling and root planing and periodontal surgery, which is performed using our advanced dental lasers for enhanced safety and healing.

Teeth Grinding
Teeth grinding, or bruxism, can lead to serious dental conditions such as worn enamel and broken teeth. Because grinding usually takes place at night, we offer customized nighttime mouth guards and oral splints that can prevent you from grinding your teeth, and ease symptoms like jaw pain and tightness. We will also look for the underlying conditions of your bruxism, such as temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder, misaligned teeth, or medications, and make appropriate treatment recommendations.
