Comfort Control Syringe

The Comfort Control Syringe (CCS) is a pre-programmed, computer-controlled anesthetic delivery system. The CCS precision delivery technology allows us to provide you with a continuous, steady level of comfort, and its disposable cartridge sheaths mean a safe, sterile procedure

Laser Dentistry

Dr. Bruce Herpy and Dr. Lynn Herpy keep up to date on laser technology. This is truly an emerging field that will have a tremendous impact on how dentistry is performed in the future. Shown here is one of the six lasers we currently use on a daily basis. We use this one to cure the tooth-colored materials that are placed for cosmetic purposes. Other lasers include the perio laser from Lares, which we use to treat periodontal disease, for cosmetic recontouring of your gums, for removal of frenums and for treatment of aphthous ulcers, herpetic ulcers and other mouth ulcers. We also use the DIAGNOdent for diagnosis of decay.

Air Abrasion

Another exciting area is air-abrasion. This unit is used in our office every day, and it makes patients smile. Why? Because it allows us to prepare teeth for fillings without the need for anesthesia or a drill!

Computers

Here, you are looking at a computer that sits in every treatment room. This allows us to schedule appointments for you without having to wait at the front desk. We also have our patient charts here, so when you call us, your treatment needs are only a click away!

Sterilization Center

This "steri-center" is a state-of-the-art sterilization area where nothing is left to chance. Those little bugs don't have a prayer in our office!

Water Purity

Concerned about water purity? Have you been watching one too many installments of "20-20 takes 20 shots at dental offices"? Well... rest easy. This point-of-source water bottle is just ONE method we use to ensure that the water we use is cleaner than the water you drink... bottled or not!

Orthopantomograph

We use this orthopantomograph to take full-mouth x-rays every 3 years. Different from the small "tooth" x-rays we take periodically, this will locate cysts, jaw fractures, cancerous lesions and other abnormalities of the bone and tissues in and around the oral cavity.

DIAGNOdent Laser

The new DIAGNOdent Laser is here and we are the first on our block to have one! It takes the place of that instrument (explorer) we stick in your tooth to check for cavities. It is actually a laser that digitally reads decay in graduating degrees within your tooth. No more guesswork!

Digital Radiography

Digital radiography’s technology improves and simplifies the way we care for our patients’ teeth, resulting in better dental evaluations and treatment decisions. The instantaneous, clear computer screen image allows us to immediately discuss the findings with our patients.

Pulse Oximeter

"Sleep Dentistry" is an extremely relaxing method that we use when performing smile makeovers, instant orthodontics, and even less time-consuming cosmetic procedures. It is also used at any time someone wishes to be even more relaxed than what conscious sedation (laughing gas) can provide. It is important that we monitor your vital signs, such as blood pressure, pulse and oxygen saturation during these procedures, and this "pulse oximeter" is the latest technological advancement in this arena.

Radio Communication

To better serve our patients, we now use radio communication to pass along information to others in the office. This saves us from leaving you during procedures, cuts down on unwanted noise in the office and allows us to play like FBI agents if things get boring around here. If you see Cami doing any Janet Jackson moves, be sure to tell the docs. Occasionally, they have to check her radio settings.
