No mess, no discomfort, no wait. Get the smile you want and get back to your life. We know you’ve got more important things to do.

Guided Biofilm Therapy Palo Alto

Although the scraping, grinding and polishing is necessary to remove tartar and plaque buildup in order to maintain a healthy mouth and a beautiful smile, the procedure can be painful and lead patients to neglect this vital aspect of oral hygiene.

However, according to Palo Alto Dentist Dr. Hansen the use of Swiss technology has changed all that.

The AIRFLOWProphylaxis Master was created for professional teeth cleaning in conjunction with Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT). McCartin said GBT is minimally invasive and reduces the need for sharp instruments such as picks and scalers as well as sonic/ultrasonic instruments. GBT is safe, effective and gentle to teeth and soft tissues, orthodontics, implants and restorations.

Digital Dental X-Rays

Digital X-rays Palo Alto Dentist Dr. Christine Hansen believes that our patients’ health always comes first. This is why we now offer digital X-rays, a remarkable innovation in dental safety that allows dentists to reduce the amount of radiation patients are exposed to with standard X-rays by up to 90 percent. To take digital X-rays, we will place a very small camera into the mouth. As soon as the picture is taken, an image pops up on a nearby computer screen. This amazing technology allows you to view any potential problems yourself, and allows you to discuss them with Dr. Christine Hansen. The real-time dental information provided by digital X-rays thus allows you to make better decisions with regards to your dental health. From dental implants to cosmetic dentistry, we will use this wonderful technology to better serve you. Learn more about benefits Digital Dental X-Rays when you visit.

Invisalign Clear Braces Palo Alto

Invisalign^® is a series of clear, removable teeth aligners that your Palo Alto Dentists use as an alternative to traditional metal dental braces.

Invisalign^® takes a modern approach to straightening teeth, using a custom-made series of aligners created for you and only you. These aligner trays are made of smooth, comfortable and virtually invisible plastic that you wear over your teeth. Wearing the aligners will gradually and gently shift your teeth into place, based on the exact movements that your Palo Alto Dentists plans out for you. There are no metal brackets to attach and no wires to tighten. You just pop in a new set of aligners approximately every two weeks, until your treatment is complete. You’ll achieve a great smile with little interference in your daily life. The best part about the whole process is that most people won’t even know you’re straightening your teeth.

Patient Testimonials & Reviews

Dr. Hansen's expertise, professionalism, and dedication to patient care is exceptional. My family and I (all Dr. Hansen's patients) are so grateful to be under her care. From a comprehensive initial evaluation, thorough hygienic visits and state of the art dental care (customized crowns made on site!), we are very pleased with the care we receive. The staff is very welcoming, knowledgeable, and trained very well. Dr. Hansen's dedication to quality and optimal patient care is superb. We have had several dental emergencies in the last year and Dr. Hansen has gone above and beyond to help us get thru them safely and with the best outcome possible. Thank you Dr. Hansen! We are so lucky to have you! The Lazarov family

After not seeing a dentist for several years, my teeth needed a lot of work. Dr. Hansen pointed out the most critical areas, presenting options for the remainder. Never had a prior dentist been as concerned for the long term health of my teeth. Dr. Hansen planned treatments in order of importance, and completed all within a year. The highly competent staff set up appointments for me when an outside specialist was required—and their work is highly commendable as well. Every member of the staff is courteous, gentle, supportive, and knowledgeable. They did an excellent job of explaining care and prevention of my teeth and gums. I was shocked at how little I knew about dental care before I went to Dr. Hansen. Now I have healthy, beautiful teeth that I know how to take care of!

Can't say enough about how amazing the entire team is here! Dr. Hansen has been a joy to work with, as has the entire team she has working with her. Everyone I have interacted with has been kind, attentive, and communicates clearly and thoroughly. I, along with my wife and 3 kids, all use and love Dr. Hansen and can't imagine using another dentist!
