Our Office

A little bit about 

  Welcome to our practice and our website! At the office of Kathy Percosky DDS, MBA, MHA, PC. Our primary focus is to provide quality, gentle dental care in a relaxing and comfortable atmosphere. We strive to provide personalized care for every individual by listening to their needs, addressing their concerns  and catering to their dental needs. We have paid close attention to every detail so that our patients of all ages can have a very pleasant dental experience. 

    Dr. Kathy's office has been completely computerized since 2007. We implemented digital radiography in 2008, which use up to  90% less radiation than traditional X-rays.   

 

 

Our office utilizes laser caries detectionor DIAGNOdent to find cavities early so they can be treated conservatively. Dr. Kathy uses fiberoptic Kavo electric handpieces and each unit uses a single bottle clean water system. This system uses filtered, room temperature water to add to the comfort of our patients.  By utilizing technology, we make your appointment more enjoyable. For over more than 25 years, Dr. Kathy and her professional and enthusiastic staff have taken the time to establish long-lasting patient relationships and to provide “beautiful smiles with a feminine touch”.

About Us

OUR SERVICES

Routine Exams

 

We want you to have great oral health, as this is complementary to your overall well-being. Our routine exams compliment those of our hygienist. During our routine exam we will examine existing restorations for breakage, look  for tooth decay, assess the health of your gums and soft tissue, review your dental radiographs, as well as perform an oral cancer screening. We recommend regular exams every

six months.

Dental Hygiene

 

During our hygiene appointment our hygienist will inspect the teeth and soft tissue. Any appropriate radiographs such as;  bitewings (an x-ray on each side examining the top and bottom for decay) and panoramic films (x-rays that go around the head) will be taken as necessary. Plaque and tartar will be removed and the teeth will be polished. Our dental hygienist will help you establish an effective dental hygiene routine.

Dental Restorations
 
Dental restorations or "fillings"  are ways to restore or rebuild missing parts of the tooth or areas of decay with a dental restorative material. These fillings restore function,  tooth structure and the integrity of the tooth. These restorations come in a variety of materials including composite resin and ceramic.
Veneers/Lumineers
 
Dental veneers or Lumineers are almost contact-thin, very customized overlays made of tooth-colored material covering the front surface of teeth to improve your appearance. We bond these overlays to the front of the teeth  changing their  shape, size, length and color.  
Crown and Bridge

 

Over time teeth may crack or restorations break resulting in the need for a crown or "cap". The crown encompasses the tooth to give it strength and restore natural appearance to the tooth. When teeth are missing in your mouth, we close the gap by utilizing teeth on either side of the missing tooth by creating a bridge. This closes the space permanently.

Teeth Whitening

 

Years of smoking, drinking coffee/wine, and just aging in general leave your teeth dark and dull. Whitening your teeth is quick and easy, and  a great way to brighten and take years off of your smile! Professional whitening uses carbamide peroxide to brighten teeth and potassium nitrate to minimize sensitivity. Teeth whiten 5 - 7 shades versus the store bought whiteners. 

Night Guards/Silent Night

 

Bruxism is a condition that causes teeth clenching and grinding and can be very damaging to your teeth.  A night guard is an appliance that provides a protective barrier between your top and bottom teeth while you are sleeping which alleviates jaw pain. If you are having problems with snoring we recommend the Silent Night snore guard.  This guard prevents the unhealthy effects of snoring and sleep apnea. Silent Nite  positions the lower jaw forward using unique connectors that are attached to upper and lower trays opening the airway.

Extractions

 

Sometimes a tooth may break beyond repair and need to be removed. Our office is very proficient in oral surgery. We perform the removal of all teeth from incisors to molars, with the exception of third molars or "wisdom teeth". Dr. Kathy will administer local anesthetic to numb the areas where the teeth will be extracted. However, if your preference is to have general anesthsia (be put to sleep) or have IV sedation, our office will refer to one of our highly qualified local oral surgeons.
