Preventative

We can catch issues before they become problems
  • Teeth Cleaning

    Patients who commit to routine preventive dental care typically experience fewer oral health problems over time. Semi-annual professional cleanings allow us to take a proactive approach to your dental health. Your dental hygienist uses special tools to remove excess plaque and tartar from the teeth. Once your teeth are tartar free, your hygienist will gently polish the teeth to remove surface stains. They will also look for any signs of gingivitis and may give you a few hygiene tips to help improve your smile health.

  • Fluoride

    Fluoride is a natural mineral that is often referred to as nature’s cavity fighter. This amazing mineral strengthens the tooth’s enamel, making it more resistant to tooth decay. Using fluoride toothpaste and drinking fluoridated water are great practices to ensure you intake a sufficient amount of fluoride daily. Professional fluoride treatments are also an effective method to fight against tooth decay, strengthen enamel, and help children develop healthy teeth.

  • Periodontal Cleaning

    Our deep cleaning services offer a tailored solution to address the unique oral health needs of patients with periodontal disease. Periodontal deep cleanings, also known as scaling and root planing, go beyond routine cleaning treatments. Our experienced team utilizes specialized techniques to remove built-up plaque and tartar from below the gumline. This process helps eliminate harmful bacteria and reduce inflammation, supporting the healing of gum tissues. 

Cosmetic

Your dream smile is closer than you think
  • Veneers

    Veneers are the ultimate combination of dental art and science, handcrafted and customized to fit your smile. These paper-thin pieces of porcelain bond to the outside of your natural teeth. Veneers can hide tough stains, and chipped teeth, fill in unwanted gaps, and can even make misaligned teeth look straighter. Our team will work with you to design your veneers to your exact specifications.

  • Teeth Whitening

    Teeth whitening removes years of dingy stains from your teeth. Coffee, tea, wine, tobacco, and chocolate can dull tooth enamel. Simple and safe, most patients don't realize how discolored their teeth are until they see a new smile emerge. Professional whitening treatments can be performed in the office or we can send you home with a custom whitening kit so you can brighten your smile from the comfort of your home.

  • Invisalign®

    For ultimate camouflage, Invisalign® clear aligners offer a modern straightening treatment. A series of clear plastic trays are made using 3D digital models of your teeth. Medical-grade plastic trays without wires, metal, springs, or rubber bands gently move your teeth into place. Removable trays can be set aside for short periods, allowing for normal eating and cleaning.


    In-office financing is available for Invisalign treatment

Restorative

We restore smiles for better health
  • 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 very fragile after treatment. Dental crowns, or caps, allow these teeth to be rebuilt and covered with materials that mimic nature. Crowns can be crafted to repair a single tooth or multiple teeth. They can also be used in conjunction with dental implants to fill a space. 

  • Fillings

    Dental fillings are one of the most common procedures in dentistry. In this routine treatment, we may inject an anesthetic near the tooth to numb the area. Then, we will use a dental drill to remove any decay present in the area and fill in the carved-out space with a dental restoration material. Fillings can be made of gold, porcelain, amalgam, or tooth-colored composite resin depending on your budget and aesthetic desires.

  • Implants

    Dental implants feel and function like natural teeth and last a lifetime. Unlike removable dentures, dental implants are a permanent solution. Many patients do not even notice a difference between their replacement teeth and natural teeth. Dental implants allow patients to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.

  • Bridges

    Whenever you drive across a bridge, you're being supported by the same principles that support a dental bridge. Dental Bridges are a non-removeable way to replace a missing tooth or teeth. It's called a bridge because it spans the space and is attached at both ends to other teeth. An artificial tooth is connected to the supporting teeth and replaces the missing tooth. Many patients choose bridges because it is an affordable treatment to replace multiple teeth.

  • Full & Partial Dentures

    Dentures are an affordable way to replace any number of missing teeth. They have a long history of success, and over 40 million Americans rely on dentures to maintain oral function. Dentures are removable substitutes for missing teeth. Full dentures are used when a person is missing all their natural teeth, while partial dentures replace only a few missing teeth to eliminate gaps and improve oral functions. Denture treatment is customized to each patient’s specific needs. Our team can help you decide which option works best for your smile.

  • Extractions

    Teeth sometimes need to be removed to protect your health and our team will take every step to help you. Your well-being always takes priority in any treatment decision. Our team will take every measure to make sure even minor surgical procedures are as comfortable as possible.

  • Root Canals

    Toothaches are a vivid reminder that teeth aren't just pieces of hard tissue floating around in the gums. They are intricately formed sensory organs with layers of dentin and enamel protecting a living pulp. Coursing through the tooth's pulp is a vital bundle of nerves and blood vessels providing nutrients and sensation to each tooth. Root canals are the most common way to treat problemed pulp. We will remove the pulp and carefully clean out the canal. The space that is used to hold the pulp is then filled and sealed. Afterward, a crown or a restorative structure will be placed on the treated tooth to protect it and allow normal function. 

Oral Condition Treatment

Conservative care for optimal wellness
  • TMJ

    Do you experience jaw pain, headaches, or a clicking sound when you chew? These could be signs of a TMJ disorder, which affects the joint connecting your jaw to your skull. This common condition can make simple activities like eating or talking uncomfortable, but we’re here to help. At our practice, we offer TMJ treatments tailored to your needs, focusing on relieving pain and restoring normal jaw function.

  • Teeth Grinding

    If you're waking up with a sore jaw or headaches, you may be grinding your teeth at night. Teeth grinding is a subconscious habit that affects about 10% of the population. In many cases, the abrasive action occurs only during sleep and for only a few seconds at a time. Waking up with a sore jaw or a morning headache are common signs of nighttime grinding. Jaw muscles are, ounce for ounce, the strongest in the body, which means they can do a lot of unnecessary damage. A custom oral appliance can protect your excessive wear.

Family

We keep growing smiles healthy and strong
  • Children's Dentistry

    Our practice is your family’s go-to destination for comprehensive dental care. We understand that early encounters with dentistry can shape a person's view for a lifetime. At our practice, we prioritize crafting positive dental experiences by providing gentle and compassionate care to ensure lasting positive impressions.

  • Teen's Dentistry

    Navigating the challenges of oral health during the teen years sometimes requires parents to take a proactive approach. As your family's dental partner, we understand the unique issues teens face, from changing habits to potential neglect of oral care. Our preventive visits every six months offer an opportunity to coach and reinforce positive efforts, building rapport in a professional and friendly setting. We provide essential tips for home care, such as limiting sugary drinks and emphasizing the importance of a thorough oral hygiene routine. Trust us to guide your teen toward a lifetime of optimal oral health.

  • Sealant

    Sealants dramatically reduce the number of cavities that may develop during childhood. Deep grooves run into the center of the teeth on the chewing surface of the molars. If the grooves in permanent molars are sealed at a young age, the risk of decay developing on the chewing surfaces dramatically decreases. The sealant material fills in the grooves to create a smooth surface and make the biting surface easier for little ones to clean. The resin material flowed over the grooves is quickly sealed with a blue activating light. Within a few minutes, your child’s teeth are protected against cavities. Sealants last several years and may need to be repaired or replaced periodically. But research confirms a 90% reduction in tooth decay along the chewing surface in sealed molars.

  • Infant Exams

    Following the recommendations of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, we suggest infants should come in for their first oral exam between the ages of six months to one year old. Our team will review proper diet, age-appropriate hygiene, and go over pacifier use to make sure your child’s oral health starts strong and stays strong.

  • Sports Mouthguards

    It’s estimated that over 20 million children take part in one after-school sport or another. With that amount of children engaging in sports and other activities like skiing, gymnastics, and martial arts, there is a higher chance of injury. Did you know that up to 20% of these injuries are due to fractured or otherwise damaged teeth? Our team can create a sports mouthguard for your child to protect their smile. After an impression of your child’s teeth is taken, they will fabricate a new mouthguard molded to custom-fit their unique smile.
