Our staff give you the best care possible.

When you visit us you can depend on getting high-quality dental care that is gentle.

That’s why she performs state-of-the-art procedures and uses advanced dental equipment like DentalVibe® for pain-free injections.

Comfortable, pain-free injections

We give pain-free injections with DentalVibe®

If you’re one of those people who hate dental shots, you’ll love Dr. Nguyen’s DentalVibe®, which is a revolutionary pain-free injection device that is effective for children and adults alike. DentalVibe® uses vibrations that reaches the sensory area of the brain before the pain does, closing off your body’s neural “pain gate” so that pain can’t pass through. The result is comfortable injections that are truly pain free.

Experienced Gum Disease Treatment

In handling gum disease, we first remove tartar from the teeth with the ultrasonic scaler.

Scaling and root planing are the first steps in treating gum disease. Scaling involves removing tartar from your teeth. This is performed using an ultrasonic scaler to gently remove deposits that have built up.

We then carefully plane the root surfaces to help prevent future tartar buildup. Smooth root surfaces also allow your gums to regenerate without irritation. Your gum tissue shrinks and tightens around the teeth, since the irritant has either been eliminated or reduced.

After completing your treatment, you will be shown the best ways to keep gum disease from returning.
