Highlights

• Cantrell West Dental was the first dental office in Arkansas to offer E4D CAD-CAM dental restorations for restoration of teeth, which means most dental restorative procedures (such as high quality crowns, onlays, inlays, and veneers) can be completed in only one visit, without the need for enduring those often uncomfortable "temporary restorations" for weeks! See the E4D CAD-CAM technology in action (Adobe's Free Flash Player required, high-speed Internet connection recommended).
• Cantrell West Dental is one of the 5% of all dental practices nationally to utilize LASER technology for easier, less painful, and more effective periodontal (gum) treatments that are faster healing, last longer, and require fewer antibiotics. Laser technology also provides significant and rapid relief by treating canker sores, herpes outbreaks, denture sores, and more quickly and efficiently.
• Dr. Don Deems believes so strongly in the connection between your oral health and your overall well-being, that he wrote a book about it! Secrets for Healthy Living is about how your oral health can directly affect your overall health. To this end, Cantrell West Dental works with your physician to help you be the healthiest you can to be. For more information on what’s known about the connection between oral health and your general health, visit Dr. Deems' blog Web site on the topic, www.healthbitesforyou.com. And, you can email our office for a free copy of the book!

Preventive and Diagnostic Dentistry
