Dr. Langland earned his Bachelor of science in biology at Gonzaga University. During those four years, he also worked part-time at Pinkerton Dental Lab, where he discovered his passion for the art and science of dentistry. He applied to and was accepted byCreighton University School of Dentistry, where he earned his Doctorate of Dental Surgery in 2010.

During the four-year program, Dr. Langland stayed active in community dentistry by practicing weekly at the Creighton free clinic for the underserved. He also traveled to the Dominican Republic with the Institute for Latin American Concern andhe provided dental care to those in need. Dr. Langland is committed to staying current in the field of dentistry by maintaining membership and participation in the following:

Being a born-and-raised islander, Dr. Langland has enjoyed the opportunity to get better acquainted with fellow community members while offering the highest quality of dental care. In his free time, he enjoys photography, hiking, and exploring the outdoors with his wife Jemma andkids Jack and Clara.

Using this technology, Dr. Langland can scan the teeth instead of using impression material. Many recent studies have shown impression scans to be more accurate and patients say it is muchmorecomfortable than the impression 'goop'. Digital impressions can be used for crowns, bridges, implants andwhitening trays. After the scan, the digital impressionappears almost imediately at the lab to begin fabrication.Because of their superior accuracy, digital impressionsresult inbetter fitting restorations and longer lasting dental work. This technology is very popular with our patients who struggle with gagging, as this technique uses only light waves from a small wandto capture the impression.

Using the most advanced dental technology possible is just as important as staying up-to-date on the latest treatment techniques. Because our practice is dedicated to providing you with the safest and most convenient treatment options available, we utilize advanced digital X-ray technology in our office.

Our digital panoramic x-ray machine allows Dr. Langland to assess the entire lower skull for tumors, bone growth and pathology. Areas such as the sinus cavities and below the jaw are common areas for pathology and should be checked at least every six years. These images can also be sent instantly online to specialists for orthodontic or surgical assessment.

You know the importance of prevention when it comes to your dental health, and were always looking for new, improved ways to help you achieve a healthy smile for life. While X-rays provide valuable information, they dont give a complete view of everything that is going on inside your mouth. Dr. Langland uses intra-oral photography for patient education and before-and-after documentation.

With the use of an intraoral camera, we can see every aspect of your teeth and mouth with incredible detail, uncovering cracked teeth, plaque deposits, cavities next to fillings, and excessive wear. When we can discover oral problems early on, your treatment is much less invasive and much more cost effective.

Oral cancer continues to have among the highest mortality rates of all cancers and is more common than cervical cancer. The key to successful treatment of oral cancer is early diagnosis which is why Dr. Langland has adopted the VelScope system into practice. Along with a conventional oral exam, the doctors can use this new technology to aid in the detection of abnormal cells. This results in earlier diagnosis and much improved treatment outcomes for our patients.

During cleanings, our board-certified dental hygienists use ultrasonic instruments that use high frequency waves and irrigation to break up and flush bacteria from the mouth. These bacteria have been shown to cause gum disease which has recently been linked to heart disease and other general health conditions. This demonstrates the importance of thorough cleanings which necessitates the use of the latest dental hygiene instruments for our patients.
