The Drill-less Drill (Air abrasion or abrasive technology)
Advances in dentistry now allow us to remove early decay and small fillings as well as repair fractures without a drill. "Air abrasion" gently removes stains, decay or small fillings often without using anesthetic.
A tooth-colored filling can be rapidly placed in these areas and a truly painless visit to the dentist may now be possible!
T.V.'s in the ceiling!
 Sitting in the dental chair with your mouth wide open while the dentist works is no fun - unless you are channel surfing in Dr. Goldstein's office. The T.V.'s are mounted in the ceiling just above your head. You have wireless headphones so you can turn up the volume and drown
out the whine of the drill. You don't like T.V.? Well, then use our stereo headphones!
Computer Imaging
 Ever wonder what your smile would look like if it were improved? Well now with computer imaging, we can take a photo of your current smile, and, with the help of a computer, bleach it, veneer it, or make any cosmetic improvement we would like to investigate. Our computer will simulate these changes for you before the work is done with a before and an imaged after result. This way, you never have to guess or assume what your new smile will look like.
 A picture is better than 1000 words. Take a look at Dr. Goldstein's book on computer imaging Imaging in Esthetic Dentistry. Copies are available at the office.
Intra Oral Cameras
 Ever wondered what we dentists see when we examine your mouth? Now with the help of specialized very small cameras you can also see what we see! Old fillings that need to be replaced, decay & cracked teeth can all be easily viewed by you on our overhead monitors. It helps to be an informed patient - and these cameras do just that!
Note that the front of the tooth broke due to leaving the silver filling in too long.
Note the crack in the silver filling. This is one reason for replacing them before decay forms underneath the crack.
