ABOUT THE OFFICE

|
At San Marcos Gentle Dental we provide complete family and cosmetic dentistry. Our state of the art dental office helps take the apprehension out of going to the dentist. It is essential for us to know and understand your concerns, fears and dental expectations; these concerns will be handled with the utmost care and will be considered a standard for service. Our office offers a range of services, designed to make your visit a comfortable success. Because of Dr. Donnelly’s extensive training in a myriad of dental disciplines, all of your dental wants and needs can be satisfied without the need of several specialists. Cosmetic Dentistry: A person’s smile
has been shown to have a direct link to their confidence, as well as their career and
social success. Dr. Donnelly’s
experience and highly technological resources have allowed him to create countless winning
smiles for his patients. He can take a good
looking smile and make it great by custom crafting shells of porcelain for your teeth,
creating an immediate and dramatic effect! Laser Dentistry: Laser technology is the
newest revolution taking place in dentistry today. Dr.
Donnelly can use the laser for a multitude of procedures, such as removing decay from
otherwise healthy teeth, most often without the use of drills or needles! Sedation Dentistry: Are you afraid of the
dentist? Have you been putting off your
dental work for years? Do you hate the sound
of the dental drill? Imagine coming to see
Dr. Donnelly to have your dental work completed in a safe, comfortable environment, with
enough sedation to calm you and allow you to wake refreshed with little memory of what has
transpired. Whitening: Discoloration of the teeth can be caused by a
variety of factors, ranging from foods, such as red wine, ketchup, berries; drinks, such
as coffee and sodas; even medications and aging. Fortunately,
Dr. Donnelly utilizes several of the newest technologies in teeth whitening agents, giving
his patients new, dazzling, white smiles! One of those techniques is Zoom Whitening which can lighten your teeth up to eight shades with a single visit to the office.
Intra-oral Camera: Often it is difficult
for patients to be conscious of restorations in the mouth, mostly because they cannot see
what Dr. Donnelly can see. Fortunately for
patients today, Dr. Donnelly utilizes an innovative new tool called an Intra-oral Camera. This allows patients to see what Dr. Donnelly
sees; exactly what areas in the mouth he has concerns about and what areas may need
restoration. No more “out of sight, out
of mind!” The Diagnodent: Thanks to
advances in dental technology, we are now able to detect hidden tooth decay and remove it
before it destroys the tooth. The Diagnodent
is a small, pen-like laser, which scans the teeth with a harmless light checking the
health of the tooth. This great technology is completely safe and pain free. The Wand: Do needles make
you nervous? We are proud to offer the most high tech care available in dentistry today,
including The Wand. The Wand is a computerized device that controls the flow of the
anesthetic, which makes for a more comfortable dental experience. Whisper Jet: Who would
have thought that you could go to the dentist without needing needles or drills! With the
Whisper Jet decay removal system, needles and drills are no longer necessary when filling
your small to moderate cavities. The Whisper Jet decay removal system uses high-pressure
air and powder instead of drills and most often anesthesia is not required. Computer Dental Radiography (CDR):
X-rays play an invaluable role in the diagnosis of dental problems. But many
people are concerned about exposure to x-ray radiation. CDR eliminates these worries
because it requires 90% less radiation than conventional film x-rays. Further more, the
CDR image can be magnified 300x its normal size to enhance diagnosis, manipulated to
correct contrast, and color-adjusted to reveal hidden problems. Computer Imaging: Thinking
of having dental treatment done but you are not sure how it will look afterward? With our
imaging system we can show you what your smile will look like after treatment. We take a
picture of your smile, download it into the computer and, with just a few minutes of work,
your new smile will appear. Invisalign®: Invisalign® can give
you the beautiful straight teeth you have always wanted. It works through a series of invisible,
removable, and comfortable aligners, which no one can tell you are wearing. So
you can smile more during treatment, as well as after. NTI Tension Suppression System: Do
you wake up with headaches or jaw soreness? The NTI appliance may be your solution.
NTI is a small, comfortable appliance that can be worn during the day or while you
are sleeping. The NTI appliance reduces clenching, which can cause severe
damage to your teeth, relieves jaw pain, muscle soreness, migraine and chronic headaches. Snore Guard: Although snoring may seem harmless, it can be a red flag for a much more serious condition. Sleep apnea occurs when the airway collapses, blocking airflow into the lungs. This obstruction persists until the person unconsciously closes the jaw, returning the tongue and throat to a normal position. Dr. Donnelly uses the TAP (Thornton Adjustable Positioner) to correct and prevent this potentially detrimental condition. The TAP holds the lower jaw in a forward position so that it does not fall open during the night and cause the airway to collapse. It reduces snoring and improves breathing. Porcelain Veneers: The first thing people notice about you is your smile. One of the ways Dr. Donnelly can help you achieve that perfect smile of your dreams is with porcelain veneers. Veneers are the most aesthetic alternative for a variety of dental conditions involving the front teeth such as spaces, broken or chipped teeth, crooked teeth and permanently stained teeth. Dr. Donnelly custom crafts shells of porcelain which are permanently bonded to your teeth to create a healthy natural look.
