?They are all very caring people and will do anything to make you comfortable. I am very, very pleased with the outcome of my new smile. It makes me want to smile even more now!? - Donna Mobley, Patient

?Before I found Dr. Andrews, I?d already had two sets of facings to cover tetracycline stained teeth. I did a year?s worth of research, even on out-of-state dentists, because I wanted my teeth perfect, regardless of the cost or location. Dr. Andrews was the best choice for a new smile that looked totally natural and now my smile is gorgeous. I couldn?t be more pleased.? - Michelle Caminiti, Patient

A beautiful smile can enhance your appearance and confidence. With an extensive background in advanced Cosmetic Dentistry, Dr. Andrews creates the most natural, durable, and esthetically-pleasing result.

For a smile that you’ll wear with pride, his recommendation may include one or a combination of techniques.

General Dentistry (Continuous Dental Care)
The best way to protect your smile and avoid costly treatment is through pre- vention. To support you in maintaining your oral health and appearance, a regimen of careful cleaning and an examination is incorporated into your preventive appointments. Regular hygiene appointments include:

Thorough cleaning & flossing
Full-mouth dental and periodontal (gum) exam
Oral cancer screening
Periodic X-Rays to detect decay, bone loss or tumors
Individual care consultations


Periodontal Therapy (Gum Treatment)
Dr. Andrews provides a full-range of services that support your goals for a confident, beautiful, healthy smile. In addition to regular preventive care, mercury-free fillings, extractions, sealants and fluoride treatments are provided as needed.

Sore, bleeding gums indicate the beginning of Periodontal Disease. If left untreated, discomfort, bad breath, and eventual tooth loss will result. Extensive research has detected a link between gum disease and heart disease, low birth weight babies, stroke, and diabetes. If indication of gum disease exists, Dr. Andrews offers a non-surgical treatment for various stages of gum disease.

Endodontics (Root Canals)
Occasionally, a tooth’s nerve chamber develops infection, requiring a root canal to save the tooth. This treatment cleans the infected chamber and repairs the damage to maintain a healthy tooth.

Dr. Andrews is skilled in the latest endodontic techniques. These require less time and are more comfortable than former methods.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

You are given a pill an hour prior to your appointment. Your companion will accompany you to the office. Once you arrive, you will be made comfortable in a treatment chair and be covered with a warm blanket. Your vital signs will be monitored. After you are completely relaxed, our experienced team will care for your dental needs. When your treatment is completed, your companion will return you home.


Dr. James Andrews now utilizes advanced technology of CEREC 3 to create in-office dental restorations. With traditional crowns and inlays, an additional appointment is required to place the restoration made by a dental lab. CEREC 3 creates an exceptional quality look and feel during the patient’s visit; eliminating the need for temporaries and reducing numbing requirements by fifty percent.



CEREC, an acronym for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics, features the latest in computerization and uses a 3-D infrared camera to calculate precision dimensions of height, width and depth for the prepared tooth. CEREC 3 technology also minimizes treatment time for patients while providing appealing, durable crowns and inlays with a natural look and feel.
