Dental Technology
 Technological advances herald improvements in dental instrumentation to diagnose most dental ailments, as well as tools that are quieter, faster, and more comfortable. Some of these advances used by Dr. Foster include high powered surgical loops for vision, Dexis® digital x-ray imaging, the revolutionary laser diagnostic aid DIAGNOdent®, extensive digital photography for patient consultations, and Dentrix® practice management software for treatment planning and design specifically for the patient’s dream smile and budget.
Online Communication and Text Messaging
Foster Family Dentistry has enhanced their web presence with Demand Force, an online communication system. Patients now receive two-way text messaging and emails with advanced and same-day appointment reminders, continuing care reminders, appointment requests and confirmations, online referrals, custom messaging, and satisfaction surveys. Time is a luxury and convenience is a necessity in this century. With a simple mouse click, your appointment is confirmed. How good can it get?
Natural-looking restorations
Do you loath the idea of silver fillings being detectable in your smile? Not to fear! The new and well-proven technology of composite resins allows the use of natural-colored composite filling materials that are both tough and efficient in tooth restorations. In today’s dentistry, even dental crown and bridge restorations can be artfully designed to look so natural that only you will be aware of their existence. Porcelain veneers are ultra-thin shells that not only protect your teeth, but improve their appearance in color, shape, contour, and spacing. Best of all, these cosmetic restorations are indiscernible to even you.
Oral Function with a smile
Similar technology in dental implants can restore oral functionality and give you a natural-looking smile that perhaps you never thought possible. Invisalign® and traditional orthodontics make it possible to straighten misaligned teeth, preferably without removing any permanent teeth.
Caring staff
For the timid, or not so brave-of-heart, you are not alone! Millions of Americans experience anxiety about visiting the dentist; others do not. To make your dental visit more comfortable, nitrous oxide (commonly referred to as laughing gas) and oral sedation are available, as is music, blankets, and even a teddy bear if so needed. Dr. Michael Foster and his staff go out of their way to take care of their patients and ensure them a pleasant visit.
