General dentistry has come a long way since the Civil War days when barbers and blacksmiths were performing extractions, drills were powered by foot pedals, and a denture could be made from tortoise shell and hippopotamus tusks.

Today’s dental equipment has efficiency, patient safety, and accuracy in mind! We are always looking at the latest in dental technology and innovation to offer our patients the most comfortable, pain-free, needle-free, minimal bleeding, non-drilling, non-gagging dental appointments possible!
