Working to his own high standards, he will accept nothing but the best for his patients, from himself and from his staff.
Our office provides an entire array of dental services, from basic cleaning to complex Oral Surgery.
Cosmetic Procedures:
Dental Veneers - A dental veneer is a thin layer of synthetic material (porcelain or composite) that is placed over the tooth's surface to improve the tooth's attractiveness in terms of alignment, color or shape. A substantial aesthetic effect can be obtained with a veneer and minimal tooth preparation is required.
Bleaching - Tooth Whitening Procedure
First, we check the teeth for cavities as the whitening gel can cause serious damage if it leaks into these areas. If cavities are found, they must be repaired before tooth whitening takes place. If there are no cavities, we will begin the whitening process. Your teeth can be up to 9 shades whiter in just about 1 hour. The process is quick, easy, and comfortable. Under the supervision of Dr. Perle, our whitening treatments are completely safe and will not harm teeth or gums.
Our whitening lasts a long time. This means you will experience very little whitening loss over time if you maintain good dental habits.
Endodontics:
Root Canal - The Root Canal Treatment Procedure
The tooth is first anesthetized then a hole is made down into the pulp. Dr. Perle uses tiny instruments to extract the remaining pulp from the tooth, thoroughly disinfecting the tooth canal in the process. Once disinfected, the interior of the tooth is filled with an inert material that helps prevent further infection.
Surgery:
The Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon specializes in disorders of the mouth, teeth, jaws and facial structures. After four years of post-graduate dental school education, an oral and maxillofacial surgeon completes an additional four years of intensive, hospital based surgical residency training. Oral surgery residents spend time rotating through related medical fields such as internal medicine, general surgery, anesthesiology, plastic surgery and emergency medicine.
