Technology:

Laser Periodontal Treatment: If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with Periodontal (Gum) Disease and have been told that you need surgery, there is a Less Painful, Less Invasive Alternative - LANAP. Utilizing the FDA approved Periolase, and the patented LANAP procedure, Dr Hood is able to treat moderate to severe periodontal disease without the use of scalpels or the cutting away of any gum tissue. According to the American Academy of Periodontology, “when the lasers are used properly during periodontal therapy there can be less bleeding, swelling and discomfort to the patient during surgery.” Dr Hood is one of only 2 Dentists that have been licensed and certified for this advanced treatment, in the City of Phoenix.

Laser Cavity Detector. According to recent research, "The laser cavity detector finds up to 100% of the most common cavity while the majority of the dentists, still using the pick or explorer, are currently missing 76% of this form of cavity.

Air Abrasion: This technology allows us to be minimally invasive when treating the cavities detected by the Laser Cavity Detector and in many cases the fillings can be done without a shot.

Digital Wireless Intra-Oral Camera allows you to "see what the dentist sees" in your mouth!

The Pro-Select3 State-of-the-art Periodontal Therapy System significantly reduces the need for hand instrumentation (scraping of the teeth) and can gently bath the gums with germ-killing medicines and desensitizing fluoride solutions.

Vizilite Plus: Oral cancer screening.

State-of-the-Art Patient-Education Systems Our treatment rooms are equipped with the Casey patient education system. If you are uncertain about a particular procedure, we will be happy to play the DVD video segment for you.
