The Intra-Oral camera is a tiny video camera designed to pick up images inside your mouth and magnify them many times to be viewed on a monitor.
Digital X-rays use up to 85% less radiation than conventional film and uses no toxic processing chemicals. Less Radiation equals safer dentistry.
Diagnodent for its unparralleled accuracy. Diagnodent is a laser detection system that has the ability to detect hidden decay under seemingly intact tooth structure. The Diagnodent scans the area with a laser light, detects the hidden decay and grades it using a numeric scale, allowing our team to diagnose the proper treatment necessary to prevent further decay.

Fine Lines Around the Mouth Eliminated – BOTOX

As we age fine lines and wrinkles can begin to appear around the mouth. These fine lines can make a person appear older than they really are and take away from an otherwise beautiful smile. Rapid City dentist Dr. Jeff Loftus now offers BOTOX Injections to improve the appearance of fine lines around the lips.

BOTOX injections can be administered in a matter of minutes. The procedure is fairly painless with patients being able to return to work right after the procedure. BOTOX works by temporarily preventing the muscles that cause fine lines from contracting. The effects of BOTOX injections are not permanent. Patients who want to maintain their youthful appearance will need to repeat the procedure every few months.

If you are interested in BOTOX injections contact our office to schedule your confidential consultation.
