Extraordinary Care

Dentistry has changed more in the past 10 years than it did in the preceding 30 years. With new technology, materials and procedures, we can now offer patients improved dental restorative services. Most of us require some type of dental restorative work, such as fillings, crowns or bridges, during our lifetime. Due to our extensive experience and continuing education, we offer patients the latest technology, materials and procedures.

VELSCOPE TECHNOLOGY

Every hour of every day in America someone dies of Oral Cancer.

Oral Cancer is the sixth most common diagnosed form of cancer in the United States.

That’s why Dr. Sawyer has incorporated this technology into his standard of care. With the VELscope system, the worst thing a patient should have to hear is, “We found something, but we caught it early.”

Fortunately, the vast majority of patients will hear, “Good news—Everything looks fine."

Presently 30,000 patients are diagnosed annually with oral cancer.

The 5-year survival rate is only 50%, accounting for 8,000 deaths each year.

Oral Cancer risk factors include tobacco use, frequent and/or excessive alcohol consumption, a compromised immune system, past history of cancer, and the presence of the HPV virus.

Recently however 25% of all newly diagnosed cases have been in patients under the age of forty with none of the known risk factors.

Oral Cancer is one of the few cancers whose survival rate has not improved in the past 50 years.

This is due primarily to the fact that during this time we have not changed the way we screen for this disease (a visual and manual examination of the oral cavity, head, and neck).

Colgate® Visible White™ is a visible advance in professional take home whitening, providing fast, safe and effective whitening.

Professional supervision is a key factor for successful whitening. You get a personalized evaluation by Dr. Sawyer. You also get a custom-fit tray that ensures a comfortable fit over your teeth and enhances the delivery of the active ingredients to your teeth. Furthermore, professional systems generally have higher strength whitening agents. There are two types of professional whitening; chairside (1 hour) and take home (3 days).

VENEERS

We also know that appearances are important to our patients. We gladly assist our patients in achieving the smile they’ve always wanted. This can be accomplished through whitening, veneers, crowns, bridges, and implant restorations.

PERIO PROTECT

Perio Protect—a no-surgery approach to periodontal disease. Perio Protect is a revolutionary new method to treat most periodontal disease (also known as gum disease, gingivitis or periodontitis) using an FDA-cleared medical device to deliver dentist-prescribed medications directly to the source of the infection.

It is painless and easy, with years of reliable and proven clinical results.

Find out if this method of treatment is right for you by asking Dr. Sawyer – the only Certified Perio Protect Dentist in your area.
