Dentistry in Chico, CA

Technology and Patient Comforts

We welcome you to experience our inviting, state-of-the-art dental office. Our practice is a safe haven where you'll receive the contemporary dental care you deserve from genuinely compassionate professionals. The technology we use enhances comfort, aids in efficient diagnoses, and promotes positive, successful dental visits.

• Intraoral Cameras: During your checkup or new patient exam, we'll take pictures inside your mouth with a small, intraoral camera. Dr. Beckett will use these photos to explain her findings and your treatment options.
• Chairside Monitors: All of our treatments rooms are equipped with chairside computer monitors where you can view digital X-rays and photos of your smile, as well as educational materials.
• Digital X-rays: We utilize digital radiography because it emits 80% less radiation than traditional X-rays, doesn't require the use of harsh chemicals, provides highly-detailed views that can be viewed immediately, and allows for easy transmission and storage of images. Dr. Beckett uses environmentally sound equipment and techniques whenever possible, and digital X-rays are the perfect example of this.
• Smile Previews: Before you commit to treatment, Dr. Beckett may create a wax model of your smile. This will give you a glimpse of your new smile so that you can make informed choices about care.
• Air Abrasion: Air abrasion is a modern tool that uses a stream of air and tiny abrasive particles to gently remove decay or prepare teeth for restoration.
• DIAGNOdent: Our non-invasive laser scans teeth for decay and locates even the smallest areas of demineralization, which are the beginnings of cavities.
• Oral Sedation: Dr. Beckett alleviates dental anxiety with safe, soothing oral sedation. You’ll simply take a sedative prior to treatment and enter a state of completion relaxation. Dr. Beckett will perform your dental work and potentially complete several procedures in a single visit.
• Nitrous Oxide: Commonly called laughing gas, nitrous oxide is a soothing sedation method that alleviates anxiety and promotes a sense of calm. Dr. Beckett administers nitrous oxide upon request.
• Gentle Injections: Dr. Beckett gets rave reviews for her gentle injection technique, as well as her soothing chairside manner.
• Paperless Office: Our charts are stored digitally for easy access and retrieval. Electronic filing is an earth-friendly solution that helps us reduce waste while providing efficient and convenient service.
• Amenities: We offer warm blankets, dark glasses, and neck and knee pillows for use in our ergonomically correct treatment chairs. Enjoy music from our extensive collection of CDs or bring your own for use with our headphones. During lengthy procedures, watch a DVD on movie-viewing glasses. Our waiting room features a soundproof movie room where children can enjoy a DVD before their appointment or while waiting for their parents. In addition, we offer coffee, tea, and filtered water to help you relax while you wait.
