We help patients make positive health care choices and work diligently to help them receive their full insurance benefit, phasing treatment over years, when necessary, to accommodate a patient’s financial and health care goals.
Meet Richard L. Sherman, D.D.S.

Advancements in Dental Technology
By using the latest in digital x-rays, we can give our patients superior quality and more immediate results than traditional dental x-rays.
Invisalign® is a revolutionary alternative to traditional orthodontic braces. Using a system of virtually invisible clear plastic retainers misaligned teeth are gradually straightened.
The advancement of dental lasers which are used in periodontal treatments and restorative procedures allow us to obtain better results, support quicker healing, and reduce patient sensitivity and discomfort.
Patient education and prevention are priorities for Dr. Sherman, and we use the advanced CAESY Patient Education system to keep our patients informed about their dental diagnosis and treatment options.
The VELscope Vx is a hand-held device that provides dentists and hygienists with an easy-to-integrate adjunctive mucosal examination system for the early detection of a wide variety of oral diseases, including pre-cancer and cancer. Used in conjunction with the conventional intra-oral and extra-oral head and neck exam, the VELscope Vx facilitates the discovery of mucosal abnormalities before they become visible under ordinary light. The VELscope Vx is the only non-invasive adjunctive device clinically proven to help discover occult oral disease.
