What Kind of Care Can You Expect From Dr. Cornetta?
Dental visits are notoriously perceived as an unpleasant chore by most people – and can be downright scary for others! But Dr. Cornetta has set out to change that. His goal is to treat every patient with warm, personal attention and make sure they have a stress-free experience.
In addition to our patient-centered philosophy of care, we’ve also invested in new technology to make your visits more efficient, effective and comfortable:
- Soft Tissue Laser – This laser makes gum treatment so comfortable that many patients don’t even need anesthesia. Significantly less discomfort and faster healing make it a win-win.
- Intraoral Camera – This tiny camera allows you to see up-close photographs of what’s happening in your mouth.
- Digital Impressions – No more messy and uncomfortable impression trays. This digital scan of your teeth and gums is faster, easier and more accurate.
- Digital X-rays – These X-rays use up to 90% less radiation than traditional and also result in a better image.
Dr. Cornetta treats every patient like a member of his own family and only recommends treatment that’s truly necessary for their oral health. He looks forward to building many long-term relationships in the community and hopes to be the dentist that you and your family stay with for life!
