Services
Laser Dentistry
Our laser dentistry services utilize advanced Fotona LightWalker technology to perform precise dental procedures with minimal discomfort. This innovative approach allows for drill-free fillings, faster healing times, and reduced post-operative sensitivity. Patients benefit from enhanced bonding strength and early decay detection capabilities that preserve more natural tooth structure.
Same Day Crowns
Using the Glidewell TS150 system, we create custom dental crowns in a single visit. This technology eliminates the need for temporary restorations and multiple appointments while maintaining precise fit through digital impressions. Patients receive durable porcelain restorations in approximately 90 minutes.
NightLase Snoring Treatment
This non-invasive procedure uses Er:YAG laser technology to reduce snoring intensity by tightening soft palate tissues. The three-session treatment protocol provides up to one year of improved sleep quality without anesthesia or recovery time, offering an alternative for sleep apnea patients intolerant to CPAP therapy.
TMJ Therapy
Our comprehensive TMJ disorder management combines advanced diagnostics with customized treatment plans. We utilize T-Scan technology for bite analysis and offer NTI devices to reduce bruxism-related pain. Treatment protocols address both muscular and joint components of temporomandibular dysfunction through conservative, reversible approaches.
Filling Free Decay Management
This innovative approach uses Diagnodent laser detection and digital imaging to identify and treat early-stage decay before restorations become necessary. Through Silver Diamine Fluoride applications, fluoride varnishes, and personalized prevention plans, we help patients reverse incipient cavities and avoid traditional drilling procedures.

Dr. Polhaus and his staff have been our family dentist for over thirty years. They are always friendly and accommodating. I can't imagine going anywhere else.

Ive found my favorite dentist. Had a great cleaning a few weeks ago and a pleasant laser filling yesterday. Office and building is modern and clean. The staff are friendly and Dr. Pohlhaus did a great job and is gentle, easy going and does not push any unnecessary work. Highly recommend!

Everything was great for years but I realized that they never even notified me they didnt participate in my dental plan. Every cleaning was $60 plus. So needless to say they lost my business. Most of the staff was nice except the billing receptionist who was rude and nasty.
