1. We offer advanced orthodontic treatment technology using the Damon system. This self-ligating system minimizes the friction, binding and discomfort normally experienced with conventional braces. The Damon system allows Dr. Thomas to create a wider more attractive smile without the extraction of permanent teeth or headgear.
2. We offer state of the art digital technology for diagnosis and treatment planning. We use a three-dimensional radiography system for bone scans and C.T. scans when indicated.
3. We offer laser-assisted treatment for tooth exposure or gum contouring to compliment each patient’s smile. Perfection is our standard.
4. We rarely use rapid palatal expansion devices (RPE) for the correction of cross-bites and or crowding. Gradual expansion is most often achieved using a fixed appliance in addition to the Damon bracket system for the most comfortable, efficient approach to correction.
5. The Damon System allows us to eliminate the need for molar bands during orthodontic treatment. Molar bands can collect debris, which can increase the chances for decay around the banded molars.
6. We truly care about our patients & customer service. Our reception room has a refrigerator full of cold water bottles, custom coffee machine, warm chocolate chip cookies, pop corn freshly popped, comfortable seating, and recent up to date magazines to read.
7. Our parking area had ample spaces to park. There is never a need to drive around and around looking for a spot.
8. Dr. Thomas is an innovator in advanced orthodontic technology. He is proficient in the use of temporary anchorage devices, also known as TADS. These are anchorage devices that allow Dr. Thomas to straighten teeth, correct occlusal cants, close spaces from missing teeth and upright molars without the use of headgear.
9. Dr. Thomas is an internationally recognized speaker for the Damon System and plays an integral part in new product development for the makers of the Damon System.
10. Dr. Thomas believes that retention is a critical part of orthodontic treatment. This is why we provide permanent lower retainers in addition to clear removable retainers for each patient. We strive to maintain the beautiful smiles we have created.
