A unique dental laser is used to minimize any sensitivity, eliminate bacteria and infections and allow for smaller fillings, ultimately extending the life of the restoration. In addition to the natural looking, cosmetically pleasing restorations (veneers, porcelain crowns, and white, metal free fillings), Dr. Keller brings much, much more.
