The Picture of Dental Health
In years past, many patients -- because they couldn't "see" what was wrong with their teeth -- felt that they needed to have blind faith
in their dentist. Well, thanks to modern technology, we've been able to solve this dilemma with our intra-oral camera. This device, installed
in a small wand, shows patients a live video of their oral structures and helps the doctor explain the diagnosis and treatment options, as well
as patient follow-up care. Smile, you're on Covey Camera.
Health Safeguards & Infection Control
Today we are all concerned about health and safety issues. Please be assured that these are important issues at Highland Dental Health.
Much of our training efforts and resources are concentrated on making our office technically advanced in the areas of safety and hygiene.

Patient Comfort & Office Amenities
Committed to your comfort, we do everything possible to minimize discomfort, reduce anxiety, and keep visits as short as possible.
Many patients look forward to sitting back in our super-comfortable chairs and using our CD or DVD players as well as our new chairside
interactive computer system designed to give the patient an interactive experience never before seen in a dentists office, you can watch what's
happening in your oral cavity as the doctor explains what is going on, or you can look up information about suggested or scheduled procedures.
While you are in the reception area you have the choice of reading current magazines, watching satellite TV, or DVD movies provided by our
office, (there are two DVD monitors, and one satellite TV monitor). Several stations of music, as well, are transmitted through our office
headset system, just select DVD, Satellite, or Music and relax.
