Sedation Dentistry
Are you afraid of dental treatment? If so, you are not alone. Dental anxiety affects millions of people, and can prevent some individuals from obtaining necessary dental work. At Sutra Dental Spa, patients can opt for state-of-the-art sedation dentistry techniques that can help them experience a more relaxed, virtually pain-free treatment.

Sleep Apnea and Snoring
Sleep apnea can cause a number of serious, even life-threatening health conditions. While snoring is one of the most common sleep apnea conditions, pauses while breathing lasting 10 seconds or more are also experienced by many individuals – and they may not know it’s even happening unless someone has observed them while sleeping. Dr. Wu offers customized mouthguards and snoreguards, along with other treatment options, to help patients achieve a healthier, more restful night’s sleep.

TMJ Disorder Treatment
TMJ Disorder is a condition affecting the temporomandibular joint, which connects the jaw to the skull. The disorder can cause a number of symptoms, including headaches, facial and/or jaw pain, clicking of the jaw, problems opening and closing the mouth, and even numbness in the arms or fingers. Dr. Wu offers advanced treatment options that can alleviate symptoms caused by TMJ Disorder.

Laser Dentistry
The use of laser technology in dental procedures has improved the way many treatments are performed on a number of levels. We utilize laser dentistry techniques in procedures such as deep cleanings and periodontal treatments. Laser dentistry can provide very precise treatment in addition to reducing the risk of bleeding and infection, minimizing damage to surrounding tissues, and making the procedure more comfortable. These methods can also reduce the need for anesthesia and dramatically speed up recovery times.
Root Canal Therapy
A toothache, dental sensitivity to hot and cold, an abscess around the tooth, and other symptoms may be signs of a tooth infection. In these cases, root canal therapy may be necessary to save the tooth from extraction and reduce serious risks to your oral and general health. Advanced root canal treatment can eliminate bacteria, clean out the tooth’s nerve chamber, and relieve pain. With the addition of a custom crown, root canal therapy can ultimately restore both the health and appearance of a damaged tooth and help prevent further issues down the road.

Scaling and Root Planing
Scaling and root planing may sound a bit menacing, but it’s actually a very common procedure designed to improve and maintain the health of your teeth and gums. This is a non-surgical treatment that removes tartar and plaque that have settled deep within your gums. Scaling and root planing is often necessary to stop gum disease from advancing to more serious stages. Our scaling and root planing procedures are typically performed with the assistance of a state-of-the-art laser device to provide a strong seal between the gums and teeth, as well as a quick and virtually painless recovery.
Holistic Dentistry
At Sutra Dental Spa we pride ourselves on taking a holistic approach to dentistry, recognizing the strong connection between oral health and general health. Our mercury-free restorations, conservative treatments, and digital x-rays are just some of the ways in which our practice focuses on patient safety and reducing waste that may be harmful to the environment. To help make each visit more comfortable, we also offer a complimentary oxygen bar and in-house masseuse.
