Technology and Patient Comforts
We believe that our patients deserve the best of modern dentistry. Dr. Howe and Dr. Donnelly have equipped our Happy Valley dental office with state-of-the-art tools and technology to deliver safe, comfortable dental care.
CEREC: This innovative technology lets our dentists mill beautiful, lasting, permanent crowns in a single visit. No temporary, no waiting weeks for your restoration, and no follow-up visits.
DIAGNOdent: Our dentist use this non-invasive laser to quickly and accurately scan teeth for decay, including areas of demineralization, which are early-stage cavities.
Digital X-rays: We take digital instead of traditional X-rays because they require 80% less radiation, are immediately available to view, and can be electronically transmitted to specialists and insurance companies.
Intraoral Cameras: During your exam, we'll take pictures inside your mouth with a small, handheld camera. Your dentist will use these images to explain your case, then partner with you to plan treatment.
Metal Disposal: We use an environmentally friendly machine to remove potentially harmful compounds from amalgam (metal) fillings and prevent these materials from reaching local water supplies. Very few practices use this technology because it's not directly related to patient care. But it's an extra step and expense that we gladly undertake to protect our environment and give our patients peace of mind. This forward-thinking measure earned our practice a Best Business Award from the City of Portland.
Amenities: For your enjoyment, we offer DVD glasses, headphones, massage pads for exam chairs, and comfortable pillows and blankets.
Sedation Dentistry: Our dentists use nitrous oxide (laughing gas) as well as oral sedation to calm nerves and promote a relaxing, comfortable dental care experience.
