Dream Smile Dental

At Dream Smile Dental, we want your visits to our office to be as pleasant as possible. Our goal is to create an atmosphere of comfort and relaxation that is so enjoyable, you'll look forward to each and every appointment you make with us.
A welcome reprieve
Aromatherapy fills the air with relaxing scents. The dental concierge welcomes you with a friendly attitude and is available to answer any questions and help you relax before your visit. You may enjoy a cappuccino or espresso while filling out your medical history form. Or select your favorite flavor from our extensive Revolution Tea Bar.
A pleasing scent
For extended procedures, we provide our patients with hot/cold neck cushions for added comfort and support. Patients indulging in a BriteSmile procedure or a long appointment are treated to a heated massage pad on the chair and can select a DVD from our movie library while they visit.
Cleaning up
Once the procedure is over, you will be escorted into our relax room where an aerodynamically designed massage bed relaxes your body and mind via air waves as you listen to the soft running stream of a waterfall. While you slowly wake from the air massage, you will refresh with a warm aroma therapy scented towel and are welcome to our stock of cosmetics and toiletries so that wherever you're off to next, not only have you bettered your oral health, but have revived your spirit and look fully rejuvenated.
Oral Cancer
According to the Oral Cancer Foundation, one person dies from oral cancer every hour of every day in the United States. The American Cancer Society recently released its projected statistics for 2007 and they believe that this year, more than 34,000 new patients will be diagnosed with oral cancer and an additional 7,550 are expected to die from the disease.
The Good News
Fortunately, early detection has an 80% to 90% survival rate. During semi annual exams, Oral Cancer Screenings (OCS) are performed by your dentist, during which the inside of your cheeks, tongue and gum tissue are all screened in addition the head and neck are palpated for any suspicious areas. Dream Smile Dental has recently acquired the latest Oral Cancer Screening technology called VELScope. It uses a bright blue light that can highlight potentially dangerous tissue, which cannot necessarily be seen with the naked eye. (Approximately twenty five percent of Oral Cancers have no noticeable symptoms).
How Prevention Works
If there is a concern with a particular area, a biopsy may be recommended as a preemptive measure. Most biopsies result in benign findings, but if further treatment is required, the dentist will provide you with your options. Diagnosing and eliminating cancer in it's earliest stages minimizes it's spread, and ultimately saves lives.
