I don't like drills. Are there any other options?

Yes! Laser dentistry is for you. We offer minimally invasive dentistry, meaning we remove as little of your tooth structure as possible, depending on the necessary procedure. We use the DIAGNOdent laser to detect cavities at their earliest stage. Then we prepare the cavity with the Waterlase Biolase laser allowing us to offer drill-free and injection-free cavity preparation. This means we remove dental cavities using no anesthetic (Novocain) and most importantly -- no drill.

My gums bleed after I brush. Is this something to be concerned about?

Unfortunately it is. Bleeding gums could be a sign of periodontal disease. If it is at an advanced stage and left untreated, periodontal disease can lead to your teeth falling out. No matter how much time we spend on beautifying your teeth, it won’t matter if the gums are unhealthy. Your gum tissue is the foundation of your teeth and must be maintained at a healthy, gleaming pink pitch. Sometimes bleeding gums might indicate something minor, like a toothbrush being used incorrectly. However, it could also be a sign of a very serious condition. Please visit us and let Dr. Feins check it out. We only want you to save your teeth and keep them for life.

I really do not like visiting the dentist, is there anything you can do to help me relax?

We understand how some patients fear going to the dentist and we want to help you cope.
If Dr. Feins or his staff is unable to calm you completely, we offer sedation dentistry to help take care of your jitters. Glen Atlas, MD, a board certified anesthesiologist and a professor of anesthesiology at the University of Medicine and Dentistry will sedate you in a safe manner and has the latest equipment available to monitor you. Besides sedation dentistry, we offer other amenities to help you relax such as movies on DVD and cable television.

I want my front teeth to look better but I do not want to wear braces. What would you recommend?

We would recommend "instant orthodontics." For slightly crooked or unevenly worn teeth, a bit of reshaping and the addition of porcelain veneers may be sufficient to give them a bright, uniform look. We design a model of your teeth before placing porcelain veneers, so you will have a blueprint of what to expect. We also offer Invisalign invisible orthodontics. Invisalign straightens your teeth, without traditional braces. Invisalign® works through a series of invisible, removable and comfortable aligners no one can tell you're wearing.
