Dr. Arnold is proud to offer his patients a warm, relaxing environment with numerous spa-like amenities. During their visits, patients receive a variety of soothing luxuries, including paraffin hand dips, aromatherapy treatments and herbal neck wraps. They can also enjoy their favorite movies or listen to calming music while in the dental chair.

Smiles by Arnold and Associates is a state-of-the-art practice featuring advanced technologies that aid in the planning of treatment, minimize discomfort and produce quicker results. Using a digital camera and cosmetic imaging, Dr. Arnold is able to create virtual makeover presentations that patients can view before undergoing aesthetic procedures. This technology, along with careful one-on-one evaluations, allows Dr. Arnold to successfully customize his patients' treatments.

Another of Dr. Arnold's advanced instruments is the Waterlase dental laser, which he uses to perform a variety of procedures, including decay removal and root canal therapy. The Waterlase laser provides more accuracy than a traditional dental drill and reduces discomfort considerably; as a result, most procedures performed with this instrument do not require anesthesia.

To correct certain dental imperfections, Dr. Arnold offers porcelain veneers, dental implants, all-porcelain onlays and crowns, aesthetic bridges and tooth-colored fillings. Patients can also enhance the beauty of their smiles through one-hour Zoom! teeth whitening. In addition, Dr. Arnold provides preventive dental health services such as oral hygiene exams, laser-assisted cavity detection, periodontal therapy and patient education DVDs. And to help his patients relax during their dental treatments, Dr. Arnold offers several advanced sedation options, including his signature Twilight Dentistry technique. This treatment, administered in the form of a small pill, allows patients to enter a sleep-like state of deep relaxation while greatly reducing their discomfort.
