Dental Jokes

• A little boy was taken to the dentist. It was discovered that he had a cavity that had to be filled. " Now, young man," asked the dentist, " what kind of filling would you like for that tooth?" " Chocolate, please," replied the youngster.

At Home Tooth Bleaching

Teeth Whitening

Hydrogen peroxide has been used for many years to bleach teeth. In past years, it was usually applied only by dentists, who used heat and/or light to accelerate its bleaching action. In recent years, a highly effective technique has been found that allows patients to bleach their teeth at home - although only when supervised by a dentist.*

The “at home” technique of bleaching teeth does not require heat or light, and allows you to monitor your own progress. The amount of color change depends on the length of time you wear the tray each day and the number of weeks you continue the treatment. The results can be unpredictable. Although effects may be noticed as early as a few days, many patients report that a minimum of two weeks is required to see a color change. Peroxide bleaching in custom-filled trays is thus the fastest and most painless method known.

The Next Generation of Dental X-Rays!

Fifteen years ago I introduced digital imaging into my Glendale dental practice to improve diagnostic capabilities and reduce the radiation requirements of each exposure. Now we are introducing the latest in radiographic technology called 3D Cone Beam Technology.

 This technology allows me to capture and reproduce the detailed 3D anatomy of the skull in a reliable, affordable way, while emitting low doses of radiation. Using the combined advancements in CT scanning and 3D Sterio-lithic surgical and prosthetic computerized reconstruction, I am continuing my commitment to my patients of providing them with the most advanced and safest technology available.
