A
Healthy Smile, A Healthy Body
We know that your oral health is not only about
looking your best. It's about maintaining healthy teeth and
gums. Did you know that the cause of most tooth loss is not
decay? It's gum disease. And recent studies have established
a link between gum disease and your overall health. The good
news is that gum disease can be treated successfully, often
without surgery. We want all of our patients to have
outstanding oral health. Our commitment to you includes
paying meticulous attention to all of your needs so you look
your best and have optimum health.
Defeating
Gum Disease
Dr. Simpson is licensed to practice the Laser-Assisted New
Attachment Procedure™, a minimally invasive method of
treating gum disease. LANAP is the only laser-assisted
procedure certified by the FDA for treatment of
periodontitis or gum disease. With LANAP, gum disease can be
treated successfully without scalpels or sutures, so healing
and recovery is generally faster and less painful than
traditional gum surgery. If you’ve been told you need gum
surgery, but have been putting it off, let us show you how
easy your treatment really can be.

Are You Sometimes
Headachy? Do You Regularly Suffer
From Tension or Even Migraine
Headaches? Have We Got a Miracle For You!
You may have heard Diane Sawyer discuss this on Good
Morning America, or maybe you’ve seen this in
People magazine. The FDA approved a drug-free treatment
for the prevention of migraine and tension headaches. This
little miracle is called the NTI™ device, and it’s now
available in our practice. It works by relaxing the muscles
under the scalp and preventing the majority of headaches.
Clinical trials showed that 82% of migraine sufferers
achieved a 77% reduction in migraine events. It’s painless,
fast, and NOT expensive. If you experience migraines or know
someone who does then be sure to ask us about this exciting
new treatment.
Saving Hopeless Teeth
Teeth with roots that have been damaged or infected used to
require extraction, which can cause a lot of problems and
should be avoided whenever possible. The good news is that
we are well experienced in advanced root canal therapy.
A root canal is a procedure to fix a tooth by removing the
pulp chamber of a tooth and filling it with a filling
material. This is often necessary when dental decay reaches
the nerve of the tooth (or the tooth has become infected),
and a simple filling will not be suitable.
In the not too distant past, the situation mentioned above
would have required the tooth to be extracted. When dentists
started performing root canals, they were quite painful, and
the root canal has received a reputation as something to be
avoided. However, with modern anesthetics and technology,
the root canals we can perform in our practice are tolerable
and sometimes even painless.
