At our Chesapeake office, Dr. Robert Simmons and the dental team are constantly striving to deliver the best patient 
experience and treatment. By staying ahead of the curve and employing the latest developments in dentistry, we can provide relaxing care with lasting results. Conservative dentistry is our goal, so we’ve invested our resources in precise, non-invasive tools and in continuing education for our staff members, all for our patients’ benefit.

Laser Dentistry
The dental field is full of applications for laser technology. In surgical procedures such as gum disease therapy, a laser acts as a cutting tool, and can also vaporize tissue. Other uses include curing a filling, when it works to strengthen the bond between a patient’s filling and tooth, and a heat source to activate teeth whitening chemicals during a cosmetic treatment. Laser technology is also employed in devices that detect dental decay, such as the DIAGNOdent. Learn more about dental lasers…
DIAGNOdent
You can fight the development of dental decay with routine checkups, good home hygiene, and professional deep cleanings. Prevention is always preferable to treatment, but Dr. Simmons believes in early detection of any cavities that do occur, so that treatment is as conservative and comfortable as possible. DIAGNOdent uses laser technology to find any areas of decay, some that may yet be undetectable by routine visual inspection. Spotting and arresting a cavity in its early stages saves our patients the cost and time that more aggressive treatment would require down the road. Learn more about DIAGNOdent…
