90% Reduction in Radiation
Introducing digital imaging, available at our practice. With this technology, an image is taken of your mouth with a digital sensor and downloaded into our computer, where it is immediately available. This method results in 90% less radiation than conventional X-rays. No more waiting for images to develop and no more chemical waste to pollute the environment.

No more temporaries, additional visits, or
crowns that don’t seem to fit right. Just because CEREC crowns
are convenient and aesthetically desirable doesn’t mean you have
to give up function. These modern restorations dramatically
reduce cracking, lowering the likelihood of needing future root
canal treatment. Due to the custom design and precise fit, CEREC
restorations are bonded to the tooth with the optimum strength
available. We are pleased to be among one of the first in our
community to offer crowns with the CEREC machine. If you have
ever had a crown placed the traditional way, we are sure you
will notice the difference!
Crowns in a Single Visit
Welcome to dentistry in the 21st century! We are pleased to offer crowns made with CEREC™, a highly precise computer milling machine that makes crowns right in the office, in about an hour.

No More Cavities – Ever! Is this even
possible? It is now!!
Cavities are caused by a bacterial infection known as “caries.” This infection is not only treatable, but preventable. Dr. Salisbury uses the CariFree™ program. CariFree was developed to help patients become cavity-free by assessing risks for dental disease, diagnosing the presence of the bacterial caries infection that causes cavities, and treating the infection using preventive dental techniques.
During your visit you will receive a cavity risk assessment. We will evaluate whether you have factors present that can put you at risk for decay. You will then be given at-home instructions and can purchase the products needed to keep you and your family cavity free.

Don’t Grind Away Your Smile
TMJ stands for temporomandibular joint. Temporo, as in temple area of skull; mandibular as in mandible, or lower jaw; joint as in where the head and jaw meet. Problems in this joint may be caused by a misalignment of the teeth, trauma, or excess muscle tension. Cartilage buffers the two bones and five muscles that meet, but any problems in this area can create quite a bit of pain and biting difficulties.
Symptoms of TMJ include: headaches, earaches, trouble/soreness opening and closing the mouth, clicking or popping of the jaw, pain in the jaw muscles, and soreness in the area, sometimes extending to the face.
Dental treatments for the condition can include replacing missing teeth, moving teeth, adjusting the bite, and filling gaps between teeth. There is no one solution that is right for all cases. Occasionally a plastic mouthpiece is used to prevent clenching or grinding that is contributing to the problem. If untreated, and in severe cases, surgery may be required to repair a badly damaged joint.

Dental Care in a Relaxing Environment
Even though we take great pride in being able to deliver painless injections, some people are naturally anxious at even the thought of a needle. If you or a loved one breaks into a cold sweat at the mention of the word “dentist,” we have a simple solution. One hour before your visit, you take a pill that we dispense to you. You will reach a level of sedation that allows you to respond to questions but mostly sleep through your entire visit. This is ideal for fearful people or those who have a busy schedule and want to get all their treatment done in one visit.

The Laser Scanner Finds Cavities Years
Earlier
Have you ever had a dentist find a cavity and place a large filling, and wondered why the filling is so large if the cavity wasn’t there just six months before? The cavity was there six months before – it just wasn’t big enough to show on X-rays, and it wasn’t visible to the dentist yet. The laser scanner can find cavities years earlier, when the small cavity can be removed and repaired with a small invisible bonded filling. Sometimes patients complain of tooth sensitivity, or mild to severe pain, yet X-rays and examination cannot pinpoint the source. The laser scanner can detect previously undetected decay and, once identified, allow us to remove the discomfort and leave you with a healthy smile.
