Dental radiographs, or X-rays, are an important part of a thorough dental examination. Among many things, xrays can expose hidden tooth decay, reveal a tooth abscess, cyst or tumor, show impacted or extra teeth, and also reveal bone loss from periodontal gum disease. A digital x-ray allows us to take an image of the tooth or teeth that almost instantaneously transfers to a computer screen. The digital images that are produced can be enlarged and manipulated to provide a more accurate diagnosis. Digital xrays are much quicker than traditional xrays, allowing more time to be spent with the patient, and also provide nearly 80% less radiation than a standard x-ray.
Although x-rays are a very important diagnostic tool, they cannot reveal everything that is going on in your mouth. That is why we also use an intraoral camera. Intraoral cameras are a highly advanced diagnostic tool that allows the patient to see for themselves first hand some of the images we see in your mouth. The camera gives us the ability to view magnified images of the entire mouth on a monitor so youll be able to see problems,such as worn or broken fillings, cracked teeth, plaque deposits, cavities next to fillings and excessivewear.
Endodontics, more commonly known as a root canal, is a procedure where the nerves of the tooth, are removed, usually due to the fact that the tooth is infected and is causing pain. Rotary endodontics is a method of endodontic therapy that utilizes an electric handpiece instead of manual files, which expedites the process allowing the procedure to be performed more quickly and comfortably.

I just have to write a review about this. Dr Kaila finally convinced me to try out a NTI night guard to help with my horrible TMJ issues. My jaw popped every time I opened it from clenching at night and I would have headaches every day. I have/tried several night guards, none seemed to actually help. I was skeptical about trying it out.. I've had it for not even two months and this thing is AMAZING. I will wear it every night as long as I live. It took about 2 nights to get use to wearing it but since then I have had no headaches and I recently noticed my jaw does not pop anymore when I open my mouth. I am blown away. Anyone with TMJ and jaw issues.. get this night guard. It will be the best money you ever spend, you will not regret it Myself and my jaw thanks Dr Kaila

Dr. Kaila A. Arnold and teams thoroughness with check ups, cleaning, complete xrays and dental work, paved the way for a successful, unexpected heart surgery without fear of infection.

Used to be a great facility with great customer service however, with the change in office staff over the last 2 years it has declined in the customer service area. The last straw was I had a scheduled appointment and on my receipt it show my appointment. Called to confirm since I didnt receive my normal reminder call. They show no appointment on record and had no explanation as to what happened. She also made absolutely no attempt to rectify the situation. Really??? Wow....ok!

Dr. Kaila is an amazing dentist. She's knowledgeable, kind and very personable. I really enjoyed having her as my dentist and felt she was one of the best dentists that I've ever had. On the other hand, the front office staff is terrible. Petty, inflexible, and insensitive to the busy lives of patients. Much happier with finding a larger dental practice that can better understand that life's schedule can be unpredictable, and with a greater number of dentists and patients, can better serve those with busy lives. Grateful for the experience of being a patient of Dr. Kaila. She's excellent. Just wish that the front office staff would be less rigid and rude.

My family & I have been going here for a couple of years now and I just love them! The entire staff is warm and friendly. They were absolutely FANTASTIC with my 3 year old! They were kind and patient and let her ask as many questions as she wanted and even let her look at and touch the tools they were using. I wouldn't take my business anywhere else!

This is a family dentistry (father, Gregory, and daughter, Kaila) that has a comfortable office and treatment rooms and a well-trained, professional staff. Both Drs. Arnold are good dentists with whom you can trust your dental health. Their dental hygienist, Natasha, is exceptional. She will take the time to thoroughly clean your teeth, and will, like the doctors, give good advice. You can also purchase Oral B electronic toothbrushes and replacement heads. Its easy to get to, and has plenty of parking.

Some people believe they are always right and everyone else is the problem. This dentist obviously is one of them. I will never go here again. She was writing everything off as a lost cause right in front of my child by the time I was walking back into the room from using the restroom. She was rude to my child and had zero patience. She never tried to gain my child's trust. And yes, she blamed me for everything. The rest of the staff was polite but I will never recommend this dentist. She acted like putting my child under anesthesia for the rest of the work has a lot of risks so I thought she was going to work with us but boy was I ever wrong!
