Services We Provide

Examination in our office includes:  Initial interview, visual examination, cancer
examination, range of motion for TMJ assessment, periodontal examination,
photographs, tooth by tooth evaluation, duplicate full mouth x-rays, panoramic x-ray and
complementary copy of Uninformed Consent.

Dr. Guidry reviews the results of your examination, x-rays and photographs.  He
prepares a written summary to include Clinical Findings, Diagnosis and Treatment
Recommendations.  These are discussed at your consultation appointment.

Dr. Guidry does not place mercury fillings.  For your health and safety our office is
equipped with a mercury vapor ionizer and two negative ion generators to remove
mercury vapor and airborne bacteria.

During amalgam removal appointments the following is used: Intravenous Vitamin C,
rubber dam, high speed suction, facial drape, oral sedation (if requested), and
sequential removal of mercury fillings.  For your comfort we use heating pads, blankets
and pillows.  A TENS Unit is used to help keep your jaw muscles relaxed.  This TENS
Unit stimulates the production of endorphins.  The effect of these endorphins continue
for 12 to 18 hours.

The potential complications and difficulties associated with the removal of root canal
teeth and debridement of cavitations include perforation of the sinus, damage to the
associated nerve structures, incomplete debridement of cavitation sites, damage to
adjacent tooth structures, complexities due to medications taken on a daily basis and
compromised immune system.  Therefore, we work with Board Certified Periodontists
and Oral Surgeons for all of our surgical procedures.

We help you prepare nutritionally prior to amalgam removal.  We provide TMJ therapy
and are qualified to deal with complex restorative services.  Our staff is knowledgeable
and always happy to answer your questions and take care of your needs.
