About the Doctor

About Our New Office
Our office is equipped with the most technologically advanced equipment. This allows Dr. Garai to better diagnose and treat our patients. Our digital x-ray machine uses less than 10% of today’s standard x-ray machines. We also use an OrthoCad program that can show the patient 3-D imaging of their finished smile before treatment even begins. The technology doesn't stop in the examination rooms. Throughout the office there are plasma TV’s and a video arcade with games suitable for everyone. Adults also enjoy a separate adult lounge with a mini-fridge that is always stocked with bottled water and a wide variety of magazines.
