Digital X-Rays
DIAGNOdent Laser Dentistry
Dentists have traditionally used probing with hand instruments, x-rays and visual cues to find dental decay. While these methods can detect cavities, they are only 50-75% accurate and do not compare to the more advanced technologies available today, including ultra-efficient laser dentistry technology. Our team is proud to offer DIAGNOdent laser dentistry to find dental caries early on, before they can be seen, probed or detected by x-rays.
A computer readout is then available to the dentist as the light from a laser diode is shined on the teeth giving immediate feedback. DIAGNOdent is a safe way to detect tooth decay in its earliest stages.

ZOOM! Teeth Whitening
Whitening your teeth can make you look younger, providing a brighter, more vibrant smile. At Smile Avenue , we use the ZOOM! professional teeth whitening system to brighten the smiles of our patients. Zoom uses a hydrogen peroxide whitening agent that is then activated by a special light. With preparation, activation, and cleanup included, the in-office whitening procedure lasts less than an hour. Actual treatment time is only about 45 minutes!
Three 15 minute applications are needed to completely remove stains and discolorations from the teeth. After the whitening process is completed, our team will provide a gel-containing fluoride placed on the teeth to reduce sensitivity.
Laughing Gas Sedation
Smile Avenue provide safe sedation dentistry to help ensure comfort for patients with all levels of dental anxiety. One of the most popular sedation dentistry methods is the use of nitrous oxide. Commonly known as “laughing gas,” nitrous oxide helps place the patient in a relaxed, euphoric state for the duration of their dental treatment. Patients receive a combination of nitrous oxide and oxygen to help them relax through the procedure.
Once your dental treatment is completed, your dentist will discontinue the nitrous oxide and administer pure oxygen to clear the system. Patients recover quickly and completely, and are often feeling refreshed! Nitrous oxide is considered a mild sedative and is the sedation of choice when a child needs to be sedated in order to be comfortable during dental procedures. Your dentist will always base your sedation level on a thorough assessment of your needs, treatment plan, and health history!
