Over the past 35 years, he has established himself at the forefront of dental care by providing patients with the latest dental innovations, such as pioneering the use of osseointegrated dental implants in the U.S. These implants revolutionized the dental field because they actually promote bone growth so that replacement teeth become as strong as natural teeth.

As a Board-Certified Prosthodontist, he continually searches for new ideas and techniques to bring you the best in crowns, bridges, implants and esthetic procedures.Blending Technique with a Personal TouchDr. Sullivan learned early that a dentist's training alone will not make you feel comfortable. It is equally important that he gets to know you and determines your needs as a patient.

FAQ
What is a prosthodontist?A prosthodontist is a dentist who specializes in the restoration and replacement of teeth. Most prosthodontists receive two to three years of additional training after dental school in a program accredited by the American Dental Association (ADA) based either at a hospital or a university. The training includes reviews of the literature, lectures, treatment of patients and laboratory experience in fabricating restorations. What dental procedures does a prosthodontist do?Prosthodontists are the experts in dental rehabilitation and have mastered many procedures including: crowns, caps, bridges, veneers, removable partial dentures, dentures and dental implants. In addition to restoring dental implants with restorations, many prosthodontists are surgically placing implants as well. Is a prosthodontist different from a “cosmetic dentist”?The ADA recognizes nine dental specialties, and does not include cosmetic dentistry as a specialty. Prosthodontists receive extensive training and experience in dental esthetics and cosmetics during their graduate programs which currently last three years. Many cosmetic dentists receive training during seminars or a series of courses, but this training is usually limited to weekend or possibly week-long courses. Will the prosthodontist complete all of my required treatment?The prosthodontist is best viewed as the architect of your dental project. S/he has the vision of your final outcome, both the esthetics of your smile and the improved function of your bite. Often other dental specialists may participate in your treatment to help establish a solid foundation for your restorations. Every prosthodontist develops a treatment plan customized for each individual patient, and s/he will determine if adjunctive procedures by another doctor are necessary. What is a Board Certified Prosthodontist?A Board Certified Prosthodontist has successfully completed extensive examinations by the American Board of Prosthodontics. These examinations involve written and oral examinations in prosthodontic theory and literature, the presentation of three different patient treatments, documented from the beginning to the end of the treatment and examinations over the rationale of this treatment. As a Diplomate of the American Board of Prosthodontics, the prosthodontist must successfully complete a re-certification examination every eight years. Are Drs. Sullivan, Kaihara, Watkins, and Sullivan, Jr. providers in my insurance network?Insurance companies rarely differentiate between fees charged by general dentists and those charged by specialists. Therefore, most specialists are not considered providers. The insurance will still contribute to the cost of your treatment, and our office staff will help you achieve your maximum benefit. Will insurance pay for my treatment?Your insurance company will cover most procedures, at least to some degree. Most companies have a yearly maximum allowable benefit, and some companies disallow certain procedures. A pretreatment authorization often is the best way to determine the extent your insurance company will cover your treatment. Our staff will gladly assist with any of your insurance questions. Does the office follow strict infection control procedures?Yes, our office is completely compliant with OSHA and follows the guidelines published by the ADA regarding infection control in the dental office. How much will my treatment cost and how will I pay for it?Every patient receives an individualized treatment plan following an appointment devoted to the gathering of information. The patients' desires will be addressed as well as his/her dental needs. Once a treatment plan is developed and the patient agrees to treatment, payment options can be explored with our office staff. How long will my treatment take?The length of treatment time depends on many factors including the procedures involved. Once your individualized treatment plan is established, please feel to discuss the time required for treatment with Drs. Sullivan, Kaihara, Watkins, and Sullivan, Jr.

Spray White
What is SPRAYWHITE 90®?SprayWhite 90 is the world's first and only spray on tooth whitener and is capable of gently whitening teeth up to 7 shades whiter the very first time you use it. SprayWhite 90 has been scientifically formulated, clinically tested and used by thousands of dental professionals everywhere making all other tooth whitening systems obsolete.How does SPRAYWHITE 90® work?SPRAYWHITE 90® contains hydrogen peroxide. When applied to the teeth, hydrogen peroxide breaks down into water and hydroxyl ions. As these ions work their way through the dentinal tubules and into the tooth surfaces, they attach themselves to stain particles and effectively break the stains apart. With the stains removed, the teeth appear whiter and brighter.What is hydrogen peroxide?Hydrogen Peroxide is an oxidizing agent commonly used in cosmetic dentistry to whiten teeth. SprayWhite 90 has revolutionized tooth whitening by being able to deliver the highest degree of potency in its formula in a mist for maximum results while simultaneously reducing application time for convenience.What causes tooth staining and discoloration?Soft drinks, medication, tea, coffee, tobacco products and wine are the biggest offenders of tooth surface staining, however, people with this type of discoloration are excellent candidates for SprayWhite 90 to demonstrate its incredible whitening power.How long will it take for teeth to become their whitest?Results will vary depending on your beginning shade, type(s) of staining and general condition of teeth. Dramatic results can be visibly noticeable within 90 seconds, other types of stains accumulated over years will take longer. Once maximum whiteness is achieved you can keep them white with SprayWhite 90's daily maintenance formula.How long does tooth whitening last?How long your teeth will remain white is subject to diet, beverage consumption and tobacco use. For instance daily coffee/tea drinkers and or smokers will see stains returning considerably sooner than those who rarely consume these items. Using SprayWhite 90 on a regular basis (many people have made SprayWhite 90 and WOW Enhancing Oral Rinse a part of their daily dental hygiene) provides a preventative measure against returning stains.Will whitening work on my veneers, caps, crowns and bonding?SPRAYWHITE 90® will only whiten natural teeth. This product will not whiten caps, crowns, veneers, fillings, or dentures. Do not use on dental braces. If you have dental work on the teeth to be treated, consult your dentist before use. This product will not harm most dental work.Is SPRAYWHITE 90® Safe?SprayWhite 90 when used as directed turns to oxygen and water and is safe to use. The ingredients used in tooth whitening are known to be safe if used in proper quantities and recommended intervals.What are the side effects of tooth whitening?Bleaching can cause some degree of tooth sensitivity that can cause discomfort. This is normal and an expected side effect. If you experience any sensitivity, stop using SPRAYWHITE 90® for a few days and start again when the sensitivity fades. As a great benefit, SPRAYWHITE 90® can be self-evaluated and adjusted by the user by controlling the volume (1 to 3 sprays) and the time in the mouth (30-90 seconds). Rinsing with WOW® Enhancing Oral Rinse as a second step enhances the whitening process and eases any possible sensitivity.It is common and normal after whitening to see white spots on the gums. It is important to note that this will happen when any kind of peroxide comes in contact with gums. This is an indication that SPRAYWHITE 90® is not only working to whitening the surface of your teeth, but the white spots on the gums is an indication that SPRAYWHITE 90® is helping to promote healthy gums and fresh breath by killing the harmful bacteria on the gum surface. If you experience white spots on your gums simply rinse your mouth with water and the spots will disappear in approximately 30 to 90 minutes.Is it recommended to use bleach on your teeth while pregnant or nursing?There are no studies that have been done to determine whether it is harmful or not. To be on the safe side, we recommend that you do not use SPRAYWHITE 90® to bleach your teeth while pregnant or nursing.How do I remove white spots on my hands?If you happen to get the SPRAYWHITE 90® whitening solution on your hands simply wash it off with tap water. In some cases, the SPRAYWHITE 90® whitening solution will leave white spots on the skin; this is completely normal and safe. If white spots develop on your skin, again simply wash the affected white spots with tap water and the spots will disappear within a 30-90 minute period.How do I use SPRAYWHITE 90®?Always hold spray bottle upright, clench teeth together, press mouthpiece against teeth and place lips around mouthpiece (NOTE: for 1st time users, we recommend that you apply Vaseline around the users lips help with a tighter seal around the mouth piece which will help prevent possible blanching on the lips.)While clenching teeth and grasping mouthpiece with lips, apply 1 to 3 sprays directly to teeth (May take 2-3 pumps to prime sprayer. DO NOT spray into the back of throat. DO NOT Inhale.)Gently swish SPRAYWHITE 90® while foam action whitens teeth. After 30 to 90 seconds simply expel the remaining whitening foam from your mouth into the sink.As a second step use WOW Enhancing Oral Rinse to change the Ph of the bleaching process and eliminate the normal sensitivity of bleaching.Warnings:Improper UseLike many products, the improper use of SPRAYWHITE 90® may cause minor irritations like those listed below. These symptoms are self-correcting and flushing with water is the best treatment. For severe discomfort, discontinue use and call a physician and inform him that your symptoms are due to the exposure to hydrogen peroxide.DO NOT GET ON CLOTHES. Be careful when using SPRAYWHITE 90® that you do not allow the whitening solution to make contact with your clothing (as it will discolor the material). If any whitening solution should get on your clothing, immediately remove the clothing from your body and flood the affected area with tap water while rubbing vigorously.If you have severe gingivitis or gum disease, you may experience excessive sensitivity and should attempt the "Slow Method" for using SPRAYWHITE 90® described later in these instructions. For severe sensitivity, discontinue use and see your dentist.Keep out of reach of children.Avoid contact with eyes, if spray comes in contact with eyes, rinse thoroughly with water.Avoid contact with skin, if spray comes in contact with skin, rinse thoroughly with water.Avoid direct contact with clothing or other fabrics.Do not swallow product.Do not inhale product.Do not use if pregnant or nursing.Contact your dentist for use in children under the age of 12.If irritation (such as redness, swelling, or soreness) of the gums or mouth occurs, discontinue use.
