Technology
It’s okay to feel nervous or even fearful when anticipating an appointment. We understand that our patients aren’t all the same. We have many methods available to provide you with a relaxed, comfortable dental experience.
The most common forms of sedation used in dentistry are inhaled, oral, and intravenous sedation. While sedation dentistry makes the procedure more tolerable for you, it is important to understand that they are not painkillers, and you will still require the use of dental anesthetic.

Dr. Logan Goulet and an amazing team of hygenists and caring staff.
Porcelain Bridges
Whenever you drive across a bridge, you’re being supported by the same principles that support a dental bridge. Crowned teeth on either side of a space support an artificial tooth. In many cases, dental implants offer a better alternative, eliminating most of the load-bearing strain you see in traditional bridge abutments.
Gum Contouring
Sometimes one small area of gum can detract from an otherwise pleasant smile. Fortunately, laser technology used for Gum Contouring makes this procedure quick, painless, while yielding a dramatic smile improvement.
Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening removes years of dingy stains from your teeth. Coffee, tea, wine, tobacco, and chocolate can dull white enamel surfaces. Our professional whitening system offers a boost of confidence from a brighter smile. Simple and safe, most patients don’t realize how discolored their teeth are until they see the results.
Inlays
Some small fractures can be perfectly restored with an inlay, a custom piece of porcelain, like a partial crown, that is bonded to the damaged area of the tooth. When we consider the options to preserve even a single broken tooth, we take a conservative approach. Fortunately, modern dental materials allow us to rebuild teeth to full function while maintaining as much natural tooth structure as possible.
Composite Fillings
Cavities and small fractures can cause much larger issues if left untreated. In the past, metal restorations called amalgam fillings (or silver fillings) served a need but left many teeth discolored and strained from the wedging effect of the metal. Today, tooth-colored composite resins blend into the tooth structure and are chemically bonded to the tooth providing a strong, permanent restoration.
Porcelain Crowns
Sometimes teeth are damaged because of cavities, heavy bite forces, or trauma. If a root canal is needed to salvage a compromised nerve, the tooth may be especially fragile. Dental crowns, or caps, allow these teeth to be rebuilt and covered with materials that mimic nature. Not only are most “capped” teeth indistinguishable from natural teeth, but they’re also extremely secure and comfortable.
Porcelain Veneers
Sometimes referred to as instant orthodontics, veneers can dramatically transform your smile. A set of veneers can correct chips, stains, and even deeply discolored teeth. But they can also alter the length and size of teeth or help give the appearance of a straight tooth where there is not. While it may sound dramatic, it isn’t. Veneers provide a highly conservative approach to esthetic smile makeovers.
Sealants
Sealants can dramatically reduce the number of cavities a child might develop throughout their childhood. On the chewing surface of molars, deep grooves run into the center of the teeth. Under a microscope, these crevices might look like a deep canyon. In reality, most of them are narrower than a single toothbrush bristle but that is still wide enough for bacteria to hide. If the grooves in permanent molars are sealed at a young age, the risk of decay decreases dramatically.
Adult Dentistry
Learn about what happens with the bacteria in your mouth to cause dental problems. Bacteria deposit acidic wastes on the teeth that erode the hard surfaces, weaken the enamel, and form holes known as cavities. Some bacteria causes bleeding gums and destroys the bone around the teeth. This is called periodontal disease. Adult dental problems can be prevented with these tips for maintaining a healthy mouth.
Teen Dentistry
Teens listen more than we realize, and pestering parents can make a tremendous difference in the dental future of your young adult. You might feel like you are nagging, but believe it or not, the constant reminders to brush, floss, and eat well will sink in. Read on for some tips for home efforts that protect your teen’s dental health.
Children with Special Needs
Our dentists’ empathy and advanced training allows their to read a child’s body language to help them even when your child can’t express those feelings themselves. The team at Goulet Family Dentistry has been trained to help every child remain as calm as possible throughout their visit.
Tooth Extractions
Dr. Goulet and his team will make sure you and your child are comfortable with the treatment plan for their tooth extractions. After some local anesthetic, the doctor will remove your child’s tooth. If it is impacted or if it is a complicated removal, the doctor will discuss if sedation options are recommended.
Tooth-Colored Fillings
Even though baby teeth are only around for a few years, it’s still important to treat cavities. We use tooth-colored fillings matched to your child’s teeth. The procedure is the same for a child as it is for an adult but if your child has any anxiety over the procedure, we have some sedation options available to make the procedure more comfortable.
Special Care for Dental Anxiety
Sometimes a child comes to us that has had a negative dental experience or they are too young to understand the dental treatment needed. We offer different sedation options to help them relax and make their dental appointment more comfortable for everyone, patient and parent alike.
Restorative Dentistry
If your child needs restorative treatment in the form of a filling or crown, Dr. Goulet and the team will create a custom treatment plan for your child and review all options with you before treatment begins. We believe a conservative approach to children’s dentistry is usually the best course of action.
Sealants For Children
Sealants help prevent decay by protecting the surface of the teeth, especially the back teeth where brushing can be more difficult for children. It is a clear, liquid resin that hardens when a special light is shined on it. This creates a smooth, hard surface that prevents food from settling in the grooves of your child’s back teeth.
Frenectomies
During a frenectomy, the dentist makes a small incision in the frenum or frenulum, allowing for greater movement of the lips. Results are instant, and this simple procedure can be done in-office with a local anesthetic.
Topical Fluoride
Topical fluoride treatments help keep your child’s teeth cavity-free between visits by strengthening the enamel. Depending on your child’s age, the fluoride may be brushed onto your child’s teeth or put into a foam tray and allowed to sit on their teeth. For younger children, a fluoride varnish is brushed onto the teeth.
Digital X-rays
Digital x-rays help diagnose cavities while they are tiny, often allowing for less invasive treatment. If they are caught early enough, decay may be stopped with some minor changes to your child’s home care routine.
Children’s Cleanings & Exams
Most children have two cleanings a year, but children with a higher risk of cavities may need more frequent visits. During a checkup, your child’s hygienist will clean their teeth and, if necessary, take x-rays and give your child a fluoride treatment. The dentist will perform an exam and review if any treatment is needed.
Infant Oral Exams
Following the recommendations of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, Dr. Goulet suggest infants should come in for their first oral exam between the ages of six months to 1 year old.
Periodontal Therapy
Periodontal disease, commonly known as gum disease, affects about 30% of the adult population and is the number one cause of tooth loss in adults. Many denture cases begin because of this chronic condition. While not curable, with regular professional hygiene appointments and consistent home care, it is controllable. We provide periodontal therapy and treatments.
Home Care
Maintaining a healthy smile depends on what happens between your visits with us. Good home care habits can be established by anyone committed to carving out a few minutes each day. Like regular exercise, consistency is the key to building a healthy habit. Brushing twice a day for at least two minutes and flossing once a day are the standard for ideal home care.
Teeth Cleaning
Professional teeth cleanings with a registered dental hygienist allow us to take a proactive approach to your dental health. Patients who commit to regular preventive care appointments and get their teeth cleaned, usually experience fewer problems over time.
Oral Cancer Screening
Oral cancer can afflict anyone, although tobacco users put themselves at a significantly higher risk than non-users. At every hygiene visit, we do an oral cancer screening to examine all the tissues of your mouth including gums, cheeks, lips, tongue, and jaw.
Full or Partial Dentures
Dentures are an affordable way to replace any number of missing teeth in your mouth. Modern technology offers some new options to enhance the way dentures fit and the way you look. Full dentures are used when a person is missing all their natural teeth, while partial dentures replace only a few missing teeth here or there to eliminate gaps and improve chewing.
Implants
A long-lasting choice, implant-supported dentistry brings you as close to growing new teeth as possible. Expertly placed in the same bone that once supported teeth, you’ll enjoy the strength and function of a natural tooth. Modern porcelains produce a result so life-like, you may forget they aren’t your natural teeth. Dentures can also be attached to implants when more than one missing tooth needs to be replaced. The stability and sense of confidence you develop with implants will leave you smiling.
Bone Grafting
Alveolar bone supports your teeth, but once lost due to gum disease or trauma, it won’t grow back naturally, though grafting can help repair or preserve it in many cases.
Oral Surgery
Minor dental surgeries may be necessary for long-term health, and Dr. Goulet ensures comfort, safety, and the best care, including referrals to specialists when needed.
Root Canals
Toothaches signal issues within the tooth’s sensitive nerve and blood vessel system, and if the pulp is damaged or infected, modern, safe root canal therapy can effectively treat the problem despite outdated, false claims about its risks.
Extractions
Although our primary goal is to help your teeth stay healthy and functional, an extraction is sometimes the best way to preserve the overall health of your mouth.
Teeth Grinding
Teeth grinding, often occurring subconsciously at night, can wear down enamel, cause jaw pain, and damage joints, but a custom night guard can help prevent further damage.
Ortho Screenings
A variety of tooth and jaw issues can be resolved through orthodontics. Braces can play a role in some children’s earlier years. Ortho Screenings may point out that your child’s baby teeth appear crowded or the relationship between the upper and lower teeth isn’t ideal.
Invisalign®
The smile you’ve always dreamed of may be closer than you think with flexible payment options. More insurance plans are choosing to cover clear aligners as an acceptable method of orthodontic treatment. For ultimate camouflage, tray or aligner systems offer a modern straightening method. A series of clear plastic trays are made using 3D digital models of your teeth. Medical-grade plastic without wires, metal, springs, or rubber bands gently move your teeth into place. Continuous pressure on specific teeth with each aligner means less discomfort and, in many cases, shortened treatment times.
Laughing Gas
Laughing gas is a mild, customizable sedative that quickly induces relaxation during dental procedures and wears off immediately after, allowing you to return home without needing an escort.
Oral Sedation
Oral sedation provides deeper anxiety relief than laughing gas, reducing memory of the procedure and allowing quicker treatment, but requires someone to drive you to and from the appointment.
Hard Tissue Laser
Hard tissue lasers in dentistry offer gentle, precise, and convenient care by eliminating the need for drills, reducing the need for anesthetics, and speeding up recovery for various treatments, including cavities, gum disease, and more.
Soft Tissue Laser
