Also called loupes, dental microscopes increase visibility allowing us to accurately diagnose and treat small problems before they get big. Wearing a pair of dental loupes, our doctor can easily detect small areas of decay and hairline fractures not visible to the naked eye. Early detection and treatment will prevent you from needing extensive reconstructive work in the future.
Dental microscopes are especially useful while performing comprehensive exams, oral surgeries, and periodontics. A small light attached to the frame of the loupes provides a continual light source to the area being examined. The light allows our doctor to perform dental procedures comfortably without constantly hunching over and maneuvering the overhead lamp. Magnification ranges from 2X to 5X, so we can choose the right pair of loupes for the job.
Lasers have transformed medical surgery by offering minimally-invasive alternatives to traditional scalpel incisions and sutured closures. The lasers intense, narrow wavelength has precise, predictable, and powerful reactions when it contacts soft tissues of the body. Laser light is extremely efficient, producing very little heat as it acts on its target. This makes it ideal for oral surgery, since it seldom affects tissues other than those it targets. The laser provides precise control over the depth and extent of cutting, while simultaneously minimizing bleeding and sterilizing the treatment area.

Dr. Sand Wall is the best dentist in the Tri-state. Her work is beautiful and her staff is top notch. What sets her practice above the rest though, is the feeling you get when you visit. I have been taking my family of six to Dr. Sandwall's office for 15 years because they treat us like family. If you want impeccable service and great teeth with a small town feel this is the only place to go.

Dr. Sand Wall and her team are all very friendly, knowledgeable and professional. I started going there based on a recommendation and I'm so glad I did. I recently had a gap filled between my front teeth and I am thrilled with how it turned out. I highly recommend this practice I promise you won't be disappointed.
