Sedation

Too afraid or too busy? You can have all your dentistry done while you sleep right here in our office.  

An anesthesiologist will come in our office during your restorative visit to do all the monitoring so Dr. Fidler and her staff will be able to concentrate on just your dental work alone.  The anesthesiologist will stay in the room with you, from beginning to end, to monitor your vital signs continuously.  We feel that with another doctor there for the anesthesia, Dr. Fidler will be able to spend more time with you exclusively to make sure your dentistry is done properly.

If sleep dentistry is not for you but the thought of coming to the dentist makes you too nervous, then Dr. Fidler can prescribe you some anti-anxiety medication.  Sometimes, this with nitrous helps our fearful patients cope better during dentistry.

If you're not sure what you would like to do, you are welcome to set up an appointment to come in for a complimentary consultation with Dr. Fidler and her staff to discuss what would work best for your situation.

Technology

Cavity detecting laser (DIAGNOdent)- We use this to find cavities too small to detect with an x-ray or visible to the dentists eye. This allows for a much smaller filling and less stress on the tooth. Translation- saves you time and bigger problems in the future.

Intra-oral camera- This amazing device is a miniature video camera that displays a close-up picture of the inside of your mouth. You can see for yourself what is wrong with your teeth. You then become a participant in each dental decision. You’ll love how this works!

Soft Tissue Laser- Our favorite piece of technology!  This fabulous "toy" can treat cold sores painlessly so they NEVER appear.  Our patients love this the most.

Snore Guard- A mouth appliance used as an effective way to treat patients who snore or have mild to moderate Obstructive Sleep Apnea.  It can be used as an alternative to the C-PAP machine and is usually covered through your medical insurance after a sleep study.

Infection Control

Infection control in our office is also very important to us. To protect our patients and ourselves, we strictly maintain sterilization and cross contamination processes using standards recommended by the American Dental Association (ADA), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and the Center for Disease Control (CDC).

Fees and Insurance

We accept most insurance plans and are Preferred Providers for Regence. Dental insurance is intended to cover some, but not all, of the cost of your dental care. Prior to dental treatment, fees and financial arrangements will be discussed with you.

Most plans include coinsurance, deductibles, and other expenses which are ultimately the patient's responsibility. If you have dental insurance, please bring your plan information with you, and we will be happy to bill your insurance for your visit. Financial arrangements can also be made with a program called Care Credit. We also accept MasterCard, Visa and American Express for your convenience.
