Only available at offices with specially trained personnel, LANAP has revolutionized periodontal treatment. This laser dentistry protocol allows us to effectively treat your gum disease without resorting to complicated surgery or removing soft tissue. LANAP, or Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure, is an FDA-approved periodontal treatment that enables us to vaporize bacteria without harming any neighboring healthy tissue. As minimally invasive as it is precise, LANAP allows us to leave scalpels and sutures out of the process! Its ideal for patients who suffer from dental anxiety.
With our in-house cone beam scanner (CBCT) we can capture high-resolution 3D images of your mouth that help us plan for successful dental implant placement and other procedures in great detail. Using a fraction of the radiation of conventional CT equipment found in many dental and medical practices, CBCT is also safer for your family. This form of imaging is completely noninvasive and comfortable. You simply sit still while the machine rotates around you.
This toothbrush-sized camera gives us sharp, close-up views of your teeth. Not only can we more easily identify problem areas within your mouth, we can show them to you in real-time on an exam room monitor. Youll see more than you ever saw with a mirror while sitting in a dental chair. In addition, our intraoral scanner enables us to make digital impressions of your teeth for crowns and other treatments. No more sticky putty needed!

Dr Howard is one of the best oral surgeons I've ever experienced. I got a molar out 2/28/2020 I didn't feel a thing, once he numb the area! He was very gentle! I recommend his services. The dental assistant I think her name was Ashley, was wonderful too!

my boyfriend went here, and we have had a horrible experience here. after the wisdom tooth surgery, his teeth were still hurting 1 week later so I scheduled him a follow up (before the already scheduled follow up). he went in and they were all rude to him. they were saying that he should have been brushing the extraction site (which we were NOT told, and if we were, it was during the instructional video post-operation where they had him sitting in the room too. I can't pay attention to the video when my loopy boyfriend keeps falling over and talking through the video). the nurse went to the doctor and like.. tattled on him. said "he hasn't been brushing doctor howard." then they asked about his pain killers and said that he shouldn't be out yet because he ran out that day. he was prescribed to take 1 pill (antibiotic and painkiller) every 4-6 hours. the doctor then tells him that they prescribed him wrong and then acts like it is my boyfriends fault that they gave him the incorrect prescription??? today he went for his second follow up (a week and a half after the surgery) and my boyfriend tells them about how he has had a horrible migraine for the past four days, and the doctor asks AGAIN about his pain meds (which he already told them about), and says that he shouldn't still be in pain and is now telling him he might have root damage and might have chronic pain in his mouth now and might have to have another procedure. we are incredibly disappointed. we feel like they did something wrong to him because he should not still be in pain and have chronic damage in his mouth from getting his wisdom teeth extracted. they also prescribed us the incorrect dosage and did not give us proper information and blamed it on us! we will never be returning here. horribly disappointed with the service we received.
