At Downtown Dental Design we utilize the latest dental technology and materials to ensure your comfort, safety and quality of care.

Zoom!™ Tooth Whitening System
The Zoom!™ In-Office Whitening System is a safe and an effective way to enhance your smiles in just over an hour. Zoom!™ Whitening is ideal for anyone looking for immediate results and doing away with the inconvenience of wearing trays for days.


Lumineers
Lumineers are contact lens-thin porcelain veneers bonded to the front of your teeth, creating beautiful smiles while preserving natural tooth structure. Since there is no prep work, there is no need for numbing or removing sensitive tooth structure. Lumineers are great for correcting discoloration, permanent stains, gaps and minor crowding.

Safe, clear digital X-rays
Digital X-ray system allows us to take crystal clear images of your teeth and oral structures using much lower radiation levels than traditional film X-rays. Networked with our computer system, your X-ray images are available to you and the doctor as soon as they are taken. Digital storage and off-site backup mean no danger of lost or damaged X-rays.

Intraoral camera
Our intraoral camera utilizing the latest digital technology allows you to view exactly what the doctor sees, helping you to make informed and comfortable decisions about your treatment.

Infection Control
Our patients safety is our number one priority. We practice universal precautions as recommended by the American Dental Association and OSHA. All our instruments and handpieces (drills) are autoclaved under the strictest controls. The few items that cannot be autoclaved are either disposable or cold sterilized using chemical solutions. Our staff is trained in the strictest sterilization standards.

Problem: Tooth decay, old or damaged restorations
Solution: Mercury-free, tooth colored fillings/porcelain restorations

Depending on the extent of the damage, there are a few options in restoring tooth decay or broken fillings. The smaller decays can be restored with tooth colored composite resin fillings. Composite resins are mercury-free restorations that are bonded to the remaining tooth structure. The larger tooth decay/damage are recommended to be replaced with porcelain inlays or onlays. They are beautifully lab- fabricated porcelain restorations that mimic natural dentition and will restore your teeth permanently to original shape and function.
