Services we provide

Teeth Whitening

Want a whiter, brighter smile? Teeth whitening may be for you. As there are many options for whitening on the market, and not everyone is a candidate for whitening we strongly recommend you consult a dentist before trying any whitening products.

At our office custom take home whitening kits are available for only $250.00 and touch up kits only $35.00. This service is available for existing patients only. Not an existing patient? You can become one by giving us a call and booking your exam and cleaning today.

Interested in in-office one hour whitening? We recommend you talk to us first to make sure it is right for you. Having tried products like this in the past, Dr. Schau currently does not offer this type of whitening as he has found the custom take home kits Schau Dental provides are safer and superior in quality, longevity, and cost.

Checkups and More

At Schau Dental your checkups are not a quick peak to solely look for cavities. So what will your checkups entail?

  • Dr. Schau reviews your current gum condition with the hygienist to ensure any periodontal disease is being taken care of appropriately and makes recommendations as required.
  • Assessment for cavities and broken fillings.
  • Assessment for any signs of abnormal wear and tear that may cause problems down the road and recommends options to correct the problem.
  • Assessment for any treatment options that may enhance your overall oral health, function, and cosmetics so you stay up to date on your options.
  • Assessment for any joint problems.
  • Review x-rays and determine when the next appropriate time to take x-rays would be based on your specific oral health condition.
  • Oral cancer screening tailored to your risk factors.
  • Assess your recall status to ensure you are on the right track to maintain your oral health.
  • And a time to answer any questions you may have.

Direct Digital X-Rays

Direct Digital x-rays are taken using sensors that are connected to the computer network. These x-rays provide consistent, high quality images, ease of reproducibility for consultations and dealing with insurance companies, and increased accessibility to previous x-rays when needed for comparison. And with being digital, we can enlarge any of the x-rays taken onto the chair-side 19″ monitors so you can see what we see.

We have a direct digital Panoramic x-ray unit that allows us to take multiple types of images and is a staple to any x-ray equipment setup that no general dentist should be without. The panoramic x-ray allows us to see your entire jaw with the same amount of radiation as 2 conventional films that only show a couple of teeth. As this type of x-ray is excellent for helping to find abnormalities like cysts, cancer, etc, I have created an x-ray pathology page dedicated to various pathologies I have found taking these x-rays.

For close up x-rays of individual teeth we have the latest in direct digital intraoral x-rays from Sirona. With this technology there is no more waiting for x-rays as these images are on the computer screen in under 10 seconds. The amount of radiation used to gather these images is also greatly reduced by up to 90%.
