Digital X-rays & Digital Imaging
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
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.
Dental Magnification Loupes
Excellent dental care requires careful attention to detail and exacting precision.
We must work in very small spaces and be accurate to a fraction of a millimeter.
To help him, Dr. Bulgerin uses special prismatic magnification glasses, or “loupes.”
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 fillings 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.
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. Bulgerin and our team
can give your smile a second chance with implant dentistry. Dental 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.
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!
Invisalign®
If braces that are not only clear, but also removable 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. For your ease and convenience,
they can be taken out while you eat and brush your teeth. Call today to schedule
your Invisalign consultation!
Lumineers® System Veneers
Lumineers® are the comfortable, conservative way to a dazzling 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. Bulgerin can
create the kind of smile for you that will radiate joy and vitality. Additionally,
by using this system, we can apply the thin, custom-made, permanent veneers to the
front side of your teeth without extensive preparation, and in most cases without
injections. No kidding! Call us about your cosmetic consultation.
Powerful, Professional Teeth Whitening
In addition to giving you the benefit of a cleaner looking and more attractive smile,
whiter teeth can also enhance your 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 advanced in-office whitening systems.
Sedation Options
Dental anxieties are 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. See our Sedation page to learn more.
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.
