| Orthodontics WITHOUT
Braces? Is This Possible? It’s true! With Invisalign™ it is possible to have straight teeth in as little as 9 - 15 months, whether you have overcrowding, widely spaced teeth, overbite, underbite, or crossbite. The clear plastic custom-made aligners are replaced every two weeks, and no metal or wires means less time in the chair getting adjustments. No braces, wires, or headgear are required! This means no mouth irritation, and even better, no one will know you’re straightening your teeth because - it’s invisible! The Invisalign™ system is easily removable so you can not only eat and drink what you want while in treatment, brushing and flossing are no problem! |

Bleaching™ Highly effective whitening with little to no sensitivity! It is so effective it is the only one in the world that will whiten even congenital and tetracycline- discolored teeth in a short time. And, with easy occasional maintenance at home, the results are PERMANENT, even if you drink tea, coffee, and red wine. Deep Bleaching even solves the problem of teeth sensitivity during bleaching. If you’ve been unable to bleach your teeth due to sensitivity, well, now you can! If you’ve been disappointed with results in the past, or if you’ve been waiting for the right technique to come along — have we got a new miracle for you! If you want truly WHITE teeth, this is “the real deal!” |
| The
Latest Advancement in Cosmetic Veneers You’ve probably seen the beautiful results of cosmetic dentistry on TV shows like Extreme Makeover. In most of these cases involving unsightly gaps, poorly shaped teeth, or deep discoloration, the solution was veneers, thin porcelain coverings that fit over and are bonded to the teeth. We are pleased to offer the latest in cosmetic veneers. Contact-lens thin and super translucent, they require less grinding and tooth reduction than traditional veneers to achieve a perfect fit. Transform a less-than-perfect smile with veneers – all in just a few visits! |

No
Mercury! No Metals! No Kidding! For years, silver/mercury amalgam was the standard filling material used in dental practices, and many practices still use it. While they are a reasonable restoration, amalgams do not look as good as white fillings. The doctor is pleased to offer you modern, state-of-the-art restorations that are a natural-looking white, contain no metals, and can actually strengthen your teeth. |
| Missing Teeth? Why Not Grow New Ones! Dental implants are the ideal way to replace lost teeth, especially in the front of the mouth where they are most visible. Unlike bridges or removable dentures, which sit on top of the gums, dental implants are placed under the gums. The “tooth” placed on an implant appears life-like, because it comes through the gums just like the original did – it’s like growing a new tooth! Even people with no teeth can benefit from implants, because they can replace their dentures with teeth that feel and look natural. |

Intra-Oral Camera Makes You a Part of
the Team The doctor works hand-in-hand with patients to create a bond of teamwork. One of the ways we bring this about is through the use of a high-tech tool, the Intra-Oral Camera. This amazing device is a miniature video camera that displays a close-up picture of the inside of your mouth. You can see for yourself what work needs to be done and which teeth are doing fine. You then become a participant in each dental decision. You'll love how this works! |
| Digital Imaging
Our environmentally friendly digital imaging system emits up to 90% less radiation than conventional x-rays. Extremely accurate digital images can be viewed instantly and stored on our computer system where they will always be available. No more waiting for images to develop and no more chemical waste to pollute the environment. |

Saving Hopeless Teeth
Teeth with roots that have been damaged or infected used to require extraction. Extracting teeth causes LOTS of problems and should be avoided when possible. The treatment now consists of doing root canal therapy. Now, no one really wants a root canal but if it is necessary you can rest assured that Dr. Schmidt will make the experience tolerable and nearly completely painless. In most cases you won’t have to be referred to another office, and best of all, most patients are only in the chair for approximately an hour! |
| Dental Care in a Relaxing Environment
Even though Dr. Schmidt takes great pride in being able to deliver painless injections – some people are naturally anxious at even the thought of a needle. If you or a loved one are one of those people who break into a cold sweat at the mention of the word “dentist,” we have a simple solution. We offer nitrous oxide (laughing gas). This is ideal for fearful people or those who have a busy schedule and want to get all their treatment done in one visit. With some cases we may also prescribe a pill that will help you relax through treatment. We look forward to working with you to provide you with quality dental care in a comfortable, relaxed manner. |

Creating that Winning Smile
Denture wearers often complain their teeth “look fake.” We call them Drop Dead Gorgeous because they ARE! Dentures may even be securely "locked in" place using dental implants. We believe there is always time to give you beautiful dentures that fit right the first time! You have got to see this to believe it! |

Environmentally Conscious Practice We believe strongly in taking care of the Earth, and our practices reflect this. We use compact fluorescent bulbs to save energy, and when it's necessary to print, we always choose recycled paper. We recycle all waste paper, plastic, light bulbs, and aluminum used in the office, as well as any broken instruments. Rather than chemical sterilization, we utilize a steam sterilizer to ensure safety for you and the environment. And finally, we have adopted iTero technology that creates optical impressions, which are more precise and less wasteful than traditional materials, for crowns and bridges. |
