Anesthetic injections for dental procedures have not really changed in 100 years…Until now. Milestone Scientific introduces the STA, single tooth anesthesia. The computer confirms proper needle placement, uses low-pressure delivery, allowing a greater volume to be administered- thus a more predictable, precise, faster and non-threatening injection, with no collateral numbing! All of this = Happy Patients!sta-0022

veneers..before & after

This patient had a high decay rate due to a diet that included several sodas per day.  He also had the beginning of periodontal disease.  Dr. Saylor gave him a SONICARE toothbrush…got him on the right track toward a HEALTHY mouth.  We were able to restore his upper and lower teeth using a combination of EMPRESS veneers and crowns.  We think this is a beautiful result!  What do you think?dscf0002_5dscf0005_2
