Additional Information
We are constantly learning and striving to advance the standard of patient care in our office. As such, we have recently added the following new procedures:
SMILES FOR LIFE - TEETH WHITENING
Dr. Higashi along with other leading-edge dentists is proud to take part in the Smiles for Life campaign. From March through June, hundreds of dental practices throughout the U.S. and Canada professionally whiten teeth to raise money for seriously ill, disabled, and underprivileged children in their local communities and around the world. As a Crown Council member, Dr. Higashi is strongly committed to excellence in the field of dentistry, to continuing education, to promoting oral health, and to giving back to the community. Dr. Higashi and his team are donating ALL of their time on every teeth whitening procedure.
Please join us in helping to raise over $30 million in donations to children’s charities!
SIX MONTH SMILES - Cosmetic Braces System
Would you like straight teeth without spending years in braces? You can have a straight beautiful smile created with nearly invisible braces in about 6 months! Six Month Smiles utilizes clear braces to straighten teeth in an average time of only six months. Dr. Higashi can comfortably straighten your teeth and give you the attractive, pleasant smile that you have always wanted.
VELscope - Revolutionary Oral Cancer Screening at the your dental visit!
VELscope is a revolutionary oral cancer screening device powered by tissue fluorescence visualization technology. Research funded by the National Institute of Health (NIH) and other organizations, found that VELscope is effective in helping to detect cancerous, precancerous lesions, and abnormal tissues. Plus, the exam only takes 2 minutes to perform and involves NO uncomfortable scraping, rinsing, or stains! This screening technology is an adjunctive tool to a visual oral cancer examination, and meets the gold-standard for oral cancer detection. As much as we want to create a great-looking smile for you, we value you and helping you maintain your overall health.
LASER PERIODONTAL THERAPY / LASER HYGIENE
In a continuing effort to provide comprehensive, non-surgical periodontal care, the use of the laser is a tremendous aid in treatment of periodontal disease. The laser can selectively target diseased tissue while killing bacteria and biostimulating the bottom of the pocket. This gives a marked advantage to our patients in the treatment of their periodontal disease.
You can always count on us to be equipped with the very latest in dental technology!
