For Your Comfort Spa and Sedation Dentistry
Some people have a fear of the dentist that keeps them from achieving the smile they desire. With the latest advances in dental relaxation, dental visits can be more enjoyable. At Simpson Dental Associates, we offer a variety of ways to help make each patient more relaxed during their dental visit.
Spa dentistry is one of the techniques that we use to help make patients more at ease. We can give our patients head phones with their favorite music, warm neck wraps, or we have aromatherapy candles that can provide a relaxing atmosphere.
For those patients that are very apprehensive and feel that they need more than relaxation aids we offer Sedation Dentistry. We give the patient medication to relax them the night before their appointment in order to get a good night’s sleep. A companion accompanies them to the appointment and the patient will be given another sedative under the supervision of the doctor. They will not remember most of the appointment and will be able to leave with their dream smile.
If our patients require more sedation we can provide general anesthesia at CAMC. We have found that most patients can do well with relaxation aides and general anesthesia is not usually needed or recommended.
Ceramic or Porcelain Veneers
Thin coverings of porcelain are the state of the art in conservative esthetic dentistry. Subtle changes or complete make over is available with veneers. These durable restorations are the long-term solution to most unattractive smiles.

Crowns & Bridges
Recent advances in ceramics have made all ceramic crowns as strong
and durable as those that contain metal. These beautiful restorations
are the perfect solution for teeth that cannot be restored with a
porcelain veneer. There are several types of porcelain crowns to solve
any type of esthetic problem. So whether the problem is a badly broken
down tooth or to improve your appearance there is a ceramic crown
to solve every situation.
Bonding
A strong composite material can be used to restore smaller cavities
or reshape teeth for natural appearance. This economical solution
is designed for the budget conscious patient that wants to improve
their smile.
Whitening
One of our most popular services is brightening a dark smile. This highly effective procedure allows significant whitening of anyone’s natural teeth. There are two basic techniques:
ZOOMII – A scientifically advanced tooth whitening procedure. It is safe, effective and fast, very fast. In less than an hour, your teeth with become dramatically whiter. ZOOM! Chairside Whitening is ideal for anyone looking for immediate results. Get ready to ZOOM!
Ceramic or Porcelain Inlays
and Onlays
The solution to metal colored fillings or plastic fillings that wear and stain is ceramic or porcelain inlays and onlays. This durable material is designed to look just like a natural tooth. Once cemented, one cannot distinguish them from natural teeth. Our Cerec® technology makes it possible to replace metal or plastic fillings with a crown, inlay or onlay in about one hour. An optical 3-D image is acquired with a small camera. The restoration is created on the screen using the image data.
Laser Dentistry
Lasers have advanced the art and science of dentistry. From accurate diagnosis of decay to the improved healing and reduction of discomfort during surgical procedures, we continue to incorporate more laser devices that are improving the quality of care. We pledge to only incorporate new technology that improves the quality, efficiency and comfort for our patients.
Orthodontics
For those patients that have misaligned teeth there are many options available to move these teeth into the proper alignment. Straightening teeth can make them more beautiful, easier to clean and can even stabilize the bite. At our office we offer Invisalign, ceramic clear brackets, or the traditional silver brackets. Invisalign is the new invisible braces, which use clear aligners to straighten teeth.

Imagine
how much easier it would be if you could see the results of a cosmetic
dental procedure before it even began. Today patients can,
through advanced computer imaging technology, participate in the planning
of their smile. The technique allows patients to visualize both the
results and the limitations to be expected from a particular procedure.
At
The Dental Office & Ravenswood Family and Cosmetic Dentistry, you'll
have access to a full-service dental laboratory that
produces a wide range of dental prosthesis - from full and
partial dentures to orthodontic and TMJ appliances. Our laboratory
technicians work side-by-side with doctors throughout the fabrication
process, which produces quality results and quicker turnaround, including
one-day service for emergencies.
