Preventive Care Services

Nothing beats prevention especially in dentistry. Our patients obtain optimal dental health because we help them build a healthy smile. Regular cleanings and checkups are essential to prevent major treatment. Dental sealants also serve an affordable physical barrier in the deep groves of teeth against small food particles and cavity-causing bacteria.

Porcelain Veneers

Looking younger is not just a myth. There's no reason to put up with gaps in your teeth or with teeth that are stained, discolored, badly shaped, chipped, or crooked. Porcelain Veneers or Laminates can give you a new smile with minimal alterations to your teeth. Veneers are a highly popular solution among dental patients because of their natural tooth appearance. If you have questions about your smile, we will be happy to evaluate your unique condition, listen to your desires, and help you visualize your end results. You can walk out with your new smile in just a few appointments.

Crowns And Onlays

Broken or cracked teeth can easily be repaired by crowns or caps.Crowns can strengthen and protect the remaining tooth structure and improve the appearance of your teeth. They may also be recommended after root canal therapy, as the tooth is more prone to fracture.  Sometimes onlays or partial crowns are better suited for your needs.  Onlays conserve tooth structure and last longer than traditional fillings.  We can also perform both procedures as same day services.  No longer do you need temporaries that fall off and a second visit two weeks later.

Bridges

A missing tooth can lead to bite problems and/or jaw problems. Periodontal disease can result from drifting teeth. Bridges safeguard the integrity of existing teeth and maintain a healthy, vibrant smile. The most common type of bridge fits over existing teeth in front and behind the missing area with a filler crown in the middle.

Implants

Implants are a superior method to replace missing teeth without altering the adjacent teeth - as in bridges. They also have a much greater longevity and success rate than bridges or partials. A small titanium post is surgically placed in the missing area. After time, bone fuses to the implant for maximum strength. A small attachment is placed into the implant followed by a beautiful and functional crown.

Composite fillings

For years amalgam or silver fillings have served us well. However, they can cause discoloration and cracking of existing teeth. New bonding techniques along with durable resin or composite materials make these white fillings an attractive alternative.

Root Canal Therapy

Inside your teeth exists soft tissue that strengths and supports each tooth. Every tooth varies on the number of canals that contain soft tissue. A deep cavity, traumatic injury, or tooth fracture can allow bacterial infection to injure and kill this tissue. If this inflammation is left untreated, it can cause infection and pain. Root canals save these infected teeth without removing them. Dental technology has come a long way to treat the “painful root canal”. A majority of root canals can be performed with little discomfort. We simply clean out the infection, fill the sterile canals, and seal the tooth off with a crown. Simple over the counter pain relievers often control any discomfort that can occur with treatment.

Dentures

If your missing a few teeth or all of them, partials or dentures give you back your smile.  Tired of a lower denture dislodging or never staying in place?  Implant retained dentures will solve your problem.  Mini implants can be placed in your lower jaw and allow your bottom denture to "snap" into place.

Teeth Whitening

You may simply improve your smile by whitening your teeth. Two methods are available to brighten your smile. In-office bleaching or Zoom whitening produce a brighter smile in a little over an hour. At home bleaching can produce similar results through daily sessions with a custom bleach tray. The best method to maintain a healthy white smile is to avoid staining habits such as smoking or drinking dark sugary drinks, coffee, or tea.

Digital Radiographs

Dental x-rays are both safe and effective. Traditional dental x-rays deliver about 40 times less radiation than a typical day in the sun. Digital radiographs require only 10% of that very small exposure. Our digital sensors also eliminate the need to use dental film in your mouth. X-rays are available to patients observation via our computer screens or a print out. You are extremely safe and more educated with digital x-rays.

Intra-oral Cameras

Cameras allow you to see what the dentist sees. It aids in precision and gives patients an enlarged view of trouble areas.

Sedation Dentistry

Scared of the dentist?  Did you have a bad experience as a child?  Nitrous Oxide is the safest way to calm your fears.  Another method is oral conscious sedation.  It's safer than general anesthesia or being completely knocked out.  Medication is prescribed the night before to get a good sleep.  You also take medication prior to coming into the office.  When you arrive we assess your alertness, place you on vital monitors, and let the medication take effect.  During the procedure you rest and are unaware of the noises, yet you respond to our commands and are safely monitored.  The best part is that you forget you were ever at the dentist office.  We attempt to complete all your work in one visit, so you do not have to come back again.  Now coming to the dentist office is easy.
