Gentle, Family Dentistry

To many people, just thinking about a trip to the dentist is painful.

To many people, just thinking about a trip to the dentist is painful. But it doesn’t have to be that way any more. Dr. Bret Anderson at Anderson Dental Arts in Broken Arrow offers gentle dental treatment, with virtually painfree fillings for children and adults. Thanks to modern technology, the erbium laser offers an alternative to the high-speed drill, eliminating fear and patient discomfort from that dreaded grinding sensation and rotary sound. “Patients tell me they like the fact there is little or no anesthetic for numbing,” says Dr. Anderson, a member of the Academy of Laser Dentistry. No anaesthetic also eliminates unpleasant numbness and puffiness as after-effects. Even better, a laser filling costs the same as a traditional filling with a drill.

The erbium laser is also excellent for soft tissue treatments such as gum disease, tumor removals, and scar tissue removal for improved denture fittings.

Patient comfort is key to Dr. Anderson’s practice. Each dental chair has an overhead flat-screen television, so patients can watch cable television or bring their favorite DVD to watch.

Dr. Anderson, an honored Fellow of the Academy of General Dentistry, offers a broad menu of dental services to correct and enhance your teeth. There’s nothing like a beautiful smile to make you feel good about yourself and make a good first impression. One of his most popular services to achieve a beautiful smile is veneers. These are contact lens-thin porcelain coverings that stay white a lifetime. Veneers correct stained, chipped, worn, discolored or misaligned teeth, without grinding or shaving. They close gaps between minor tooth crowding, while leaving your original tooth structure intact. Veneers are safe, pain free, and require little or no dental preparation to give you a permanent, lifetime smile.

Another popular service is the Opalescence whitening system. Whitening your smile is one of the least expensive and least invasive ways to enhance your appearance. The Opalescence menu offers three options tailored for your lifestyle and your checkbook. You can choose from prescription strength strips that provide an over the counter alternative. Or you can choose customized trays that fit your mouth perfectly and comfortably. To whiten your smile extra fast, there is the in-office treatment. In approximately one hour, you can walk out with whiter, brighter teeth.

For patients whose teeth need straightening, Dr. Anderson offers Invisalign, an easy way to straighten your teeth without bands, brackets or wires. By using a series of clear, removable aligners, Invisalign straightens your teeth right before your eyes. Change them about every two weeks and your teeth will move--little by little--toward the smile you have always wanted. They’re invisible, removable and comfortable. And you are able to brush and floss normally during treatment, and eat whatever you want.

Implants are another service that Dr. Anderson offers in conjunction with another surgeon. He’ll be happy to discuss the details.

Dr. Anderson is a network provider for Health Choice, Metlife, Aetna, BCBS, Delta Dental and Guardian. For treatment not covered by insurance, he offers CareCredit. You can start the treatment of your choice immediately and pay over time with low monthly payments.
