Dental Examination
For most patients we recommend a Comprehensive Exam which will most likely be the most thorough exam that you will ever have. These exams take time and a patient should be prepared to spend a few hours for the exam and the opportunity to have a detailed look inside your own mouth to see the conditions that exist using our Dental Microscope. This sets the stage for looking at the options that exist, and developing a treatment plan, which may be at a follow up visit. An initial hygiene visit is usually not scheduled at this time, as the diagnosis of the periodontal status of the patient will determine that best sequence of treatment to optimize gum health. In some situations where the patient is current with their health a new patient exam can be accomplished during an inital hygiene visit.

X-rays
Oral Cancer Screening

Teeth Cleaning
The comprehensive exam is, in our opinion, the most important visit that a patient will ever have with us. A comprehensive exam usually lasts up to two and a half hours and does not include a dental cleaning, or prophylaxis. Our trained staff will spend time with the patient to review their medical and dental histories as well as their concerns, fears, hopes and desires. Our comprehensive exam looks at the whole person in relation to their oral cavity and includes a thorough evaluation of the periodontal status of the patient, as well as the bite or occlusion and the muscles. Oral cancer screening and pH testing as well as blood pressure and potentially other relevant tests are performed. The use of the high definition video camera through the high powered dental microscope, enables the patient to see clearly the condition of their teeth and mouth. Chris w Patient Folder 1IMG_0331Digital photography, with both a conventional camera as well as the microscope camera, provides a recording of the significant findings. After the comprehensive exam, most patients will come back for a separate visit to receive a thorough consultation to learn not only the diagnosis, but the various options for treatment, the choices that a patient can make along with the alternatives, and the risks and benefits. Most patients remark that they have never had as thorough an exam as we give at The Smile Design & Wellness Center.
Fluoride Treatment
Dental Sealants
Minimally Invasive Dentistry is a paradigm shift in dentistry. The name says it all, it involves removing as little tooth structure or gum as possible. One example is to use the Diagodent laser cavity detector, find an early pit and fissure cavity in a tooth, treat it conservatively with laser and air abrasion, or air abrasion alone, usually without anesthesia. Fill it with a bonded, strong flowable preventive resin under the microscope and this restoration will last decades and be resistant to decay. Compare this to a dental sealant placed by an auxiliary working by themselves that is fraught with failure. Please view our articles on minimally Invasive Dentistry...

Fillings
Biological dentistry is a growing branch of dentistry that looks at the mouth and its structures as part of the whole body. It understands the relationship between the two and uses this information to provide dental treatment that is in harmony with overall health. It involves the use of dental materials that are biocompatible. It is closely aligned with Minimally Invasive Dentistry, where attempts are made to save as much healthy tooth and gum structure as possible. It also involves the use of biologically driven technologies such as lasers, Ozone, and air abrasion. Biological dentistry is often done in concert with other health professionals and can involve toxicity. The journey to health in removing toxicities, may include the safe removal of mercury amalgam fillings.
Resin Composite
Modern bonding agents and flowable resins seal out further decay. Most dentists use composite resin fillings as a replacement for mercury amalgam fillings. Rivaling amalgams for longevity, they are more technique sensitive. Providing there is adequate tooth structure to support the filling, resins are a viable replacement. Many different shades to match tooth structure are available. Modern “bonding” techniques can conservatively repair a chip or fracture and can even change the look of a crooked or discolored tooth.
Veneers
Resin veneers sometimes called Direct Bonding, or just Bonding, is another minimally invasive technique used at Smile Design. Today’s resins beautifully mimic natural tooth structure and often times a tooth that is misshapen, twisted, chipped or discolored can be made to look absolutely beautiful. Resin bonding involves very little removal of natural tooth. It, often times, can be done in conjunction with a restorative filling or replacement of old fillings on the front teeth where it’s cosmetically visible.

Bridges
Fixed dental bridges involve the preparation and crowning of teeth on either side of an area missing teeth to support artificial teeth to span the edentulous area.
Dental Bonding
Restorative Dentistry
Ozone is a gas that is composed of 3 atoms of oxygen that has an unstable state. This potent oxidizer is helpful to the human cell and body but lethal to bacteria, viruses and funguses and other invaders. There are many uses of Ozone in dentistry, we use ozone to infuse the water that we use in treatment, this provides water to our drills and ultrasonic instruments that are free of bacterial contaminants common in un-ozonated water and part of the biofilms that occurs in all water piping. We use ozone in restorative dentistry where we not only can kill bacteria in dental caries but the ozone can help to stimulate the dental pulp to heal and avoid root canal treatment. Ozone is used in areas of infection such as the extraction of an infected tooth. See our articles on Ozone...

Root Canal Treatment
WaterLaseMD is our multipurpose laser. It is capable of cutting both hard and soft tissue, as well as many other beneficial biologic effects. This laser can remove a cavity from a tooth, often times without the need for local anesthesia. It is very effective in killing bacteria and is an excellent adjunct to the conventional drill in a deep cavity or preparation. This can be the tipping point between a tooth healing or needing a root canal. There is a secondary healing effect as the laser is being used; the coherent photons of light coming out of the end of the laser are able to penetrate into the pulp of the tooth. The cells in the pulp take up the light and enjoy a biologic effect of healing, reduced inflammation and stimulation of stem cells for repair.

Periodontal Surgery
Periodontal Surgery is required for a variety of reasons. We have extensive experience in treating periodontal disease. The treatment of pockets, which are deeper areas under the gum, often involving loss of the supporting bone, are now commonly treated with lasers. (See Laser Pocket Therapy). Periodontal surgery can be necessary in situations such as Clinical Crown Lengthening, which is necessary when a tooth has decayed or broken below the gum. A surgery is necessary to lower the gum and bone to expose enough tooth structure for a final restoration. Other types of periodontal surgery include treatment of inadequate amounts of gum, which are frequently solved with grafting. Periodontal surgery is often an important part of cosmetic dentistry. Usually, with the help of lasers, we are able to reshape and trim the gum tissue for a properly proportioned and aesthetically pleasing SMILE.
Deep Cleaning

Dentures
With improvements in materials, particularly with premium, natural looking denture teeth, we are able to create an esthetic restoration that can look completely natural. In many cases of severe break down and malformed, rotated, discolored teeth, the most aesthetic solution can be a denture. Not all dentures are created equally. Depending upon the materials used, the quality of the teeth chosen and the skill of both the dentist and the laboratory technician, the result can have many different appearances. Injection molding of the pink denture base material is much more accurate than the traditional way that most Dentures are made. There is less shrinkage and a better fit.

Dental Implants
Placement of dental implants in the anterior mandible is considered by many clinicians to be a relatively low risk procedure. However, hemorrhagic episodes following implant placement in the mandibular symphysis are regularly reported and can have serious consequences. The use of high resolution focused cone beam scanners has given us the ability to visualize the intricate neurovascular network of the intraforaminal region without distortion and in greater detail. Knowledge of the arterial supply, and navigated implant placement in the mandibular symphysis, can help to avoid these potentially life-threatening emergencies.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral Surgery
Healing with clotting is very important in various dental procedures. Clotting formed with a bio active membrane aids the soft and hard protection for the wound. It is safe because the membrane comes from your own platelets. Included in the fibrin membrane are leukocytes (white blood cells) and a variety of the body’s own growth factors. PRF is a natural and relatively simple way to speed and improve healing in oral surgery and implantology.
Gum Surgery
Lasers have revolutionized periodontal treatment, and have minimized the need for painful gum surgery in the treatment of periodontal pockets.Other laser types can also be used to stimulate healing. These are commonly known as Low Level Lasers or sometimes Cold Lasers. The results that we see when we involve lasers in surgical and healing treatments are quite amazing. Patients tend to have little or no postoperative pain in otherwise painful oral surgical procedures.
Tooth Extractions
Tooth extraction is something that we try to avoid but, when necessary, we attempt to do it in as atraumatic way as possible. We thoroughly debride the socket and any infected tissue with the laser and ozone gas to provide for optimal bone healing. In many cases we will recommend a Socket Replacement Graft using the PRF (Platelet Rich Fibrin) technique.

Orthodontics
Orthodontics is a specialty in dentistry. It involves growth and development and the movement of teeth and bones into a healthier, more functional and more aesthetic position. Dr. Edwards has 15 years of orthodontic training and experience. He treated children and adolescents in his Rhode Island practice. In Florida he has chosen to limit his orthodontic treatment to minor cases involving Smile Design. With an extensive Orthodontic knowledge we are able to guide our patients as to their orthodontic options. We work closely with the best orthodontic professionals in our area.

Teeth Whitening
Whitening is one of the safest and most effective ways to improve one’s smile. We have 2 different systems. Zoom is an in-office, one visit whitening system where the patient has their teeth whitened in 3-20 min. sessions. The gums are protected and the whitening material is painted onto the teeth and activated by a light. Most commonly patients use tray whitening to achieve excellent results. Molds are taken of a patient’s teeth and custom made thin rubber trays are fabricated. Tray whitening can be worn while sleeping, achieving optimal results in as little as 7 to 10 applications. For patients who do not want to sleep wearing the trays, excellent results can be obtained by using them in one hour sessions. Even dark tetracycline stained teeth will see a significant improvement with prescription strength whitening. We use Discus Zoom whitening products, considered the finest available today with minimal sensitivity and quick results.
Cosmetic Dentistry
In July 2013, Dr. Edwards completed advanced training at the American College of Integrative Medicine and Dentistry where he received Board Certification; and earned the degree of Naturopathic Doctor (ND). He continues training in the fields of Biologic Dentistry, Implants and Cosmetic Dentistry. Dr. Edwards and his wife Judy have collaborated, written and published numerous articles on dentistry and oral health. Judy is an artist at the Fifth Avenue Gallery and is establishing an Intergenerational Day Care Facility. They have two daughters. Mae lives in Boston and works for Sales Force. Jill is a graduate of FIT and Embry Riddle School of Aviation and works for XO Jet as the Director of Safety. She her husband Stuart and two greynounds live in Sacremento CA.
General Dentistry
Dr. Freymiller continues on her quest of life-long learning by completing numerous continuing education courses. She is an active member of the Academy of General Dentistry (AGD), and is pursuing the AGD Fellowship Award.
