Comfort and technology

We take our time, show you what we see, and use technology that helps us give you accurate answers and good advice.

If the dentist makes you nervous

Tell us when you call. Here is how we help.

  • We never rush

    Ask anything, and we will answer before we start. Your visit gets the time it needs.

  • Time to talk

    We explain what we are doing before we do it, and check in with you as we go.

The equipment in our rooms

Accurate pictures, comfortable tools, and filtered air.

  • Intraoral cameras

    A small camera shows us, and you, a clear picture of what is going on in your mouth, so you can see what we see.

  • Digital x-rays

    A quick, better-quality picture of your teeth, jaws, gums, and sinuses, ready to look at together right away.

  • Digital scanning

    A wand-like scanner builds a 3D model of your teeth on the computer, in place of a tray of impression material.

  • Dental laser

    For many procedures on the gums and other soft tissue, a laser uses light energy and is a more comfortable, efficient tool.

  • DryShield

    One small device that combines suction, a bite block, and a tongue shield, keeping your mouth dry and protected while we work.

  • UltraHEPA air filters

    Our air is filtered for dust, particles, and pathogens, the standard we want for a healthcare office.

Nitrous oxide. For some procedures, nitrous oxide, a colorless, odorless gas mixed with oxygen, can help manage pain and anxiety. Dr. Motson will let you know whether it is an option for your treatment.

What patients say

Always great customer service. I’ve never felt more comfortable going to the dentist. Definitely recommend!
