Digital X-rays
Dr. Green uses the latest time-saving digital x-ray technology. Our Springfield family dentist uses a Nomad digital image capture device allowing the ability to preview your images directly on a screen.
Dr. Green also utilizes 3D technology with the Planmeca Viso G5 CBCT machine. She can see your teeth, the health of your bones, airway dimension, nasal passages, the health of your jaw joints, and more!
All of these digital x-rays transfer directly to a secure computer.
There is minimal if any waiting time for the image data to transfer making your visit a seamless experience.
Fluoride Treatment
Our dentist in Springfield provides complimentary professional fluoride treatments primarily for children in the form of a highly concentrated rinse, foam, gel, or varnish.
This preventative dental treatment may be applied with a swab, brush, tray, or mouthwash.
These treatments have much more fluoride than what’s in your water or toothpaste.
They only take a few minutes to apply. You may be asked to avoid eating or drinking for 30 minutes after the treatment so the fluoride can be fully absorbed.
NITRIOUS OXIDE
At Springfield Smile Doctor, we recognize that dental anxiety affects many individuals, with studies showing that nearly 75% of Americans experience some level of apprehension when visiting the dentist. Such fears often deter patients from seeking vital dental care, compromising their oral health over time.
We offer complimentary nitrous sedation, popularly known as "laughing gas," for all our extensive treatments to address this. Our commitment is to provide a relaxed, comfortable environment, ensuring patients benefit from essential dental care without the accompanying stress.
By integrating this complimentary service, we aim to improve oral health outcomes and redefine the dental experience in Springfield, MO. Whether you've had past negative dental experiences or require multiple procedures in one sitting, our tailored sedation options, led by our compassionate team, are designed to cater to diverse needs.
At Springfield Smile Doctor, your comfort and well-being are our priority.
