We take pride in our dental care, and have a fabulous team to meet your dental needs. We look forward to welcoming you to our practice!

Our services

Preventative & General Dentistry

We see adults and children of all ages and perform a variety of procedures including esthetic restorative dentistry, crowns, bridgework, implant restoration, cleanings, and whitening to name a few.

Even with the best brushing and flossing, plaque, tartar and stain will build up on the teeth. Home care isn’t enough. That’s why the American Dental Association recommends professional cleanings at least twice a year for healthy individuals. Some clients may need cleanings more often.

Diagnostic and preventative services include:
•  Routine cleaning and deep cleaning procedures
•  Sealants and fluoride treatments
•  Tooth colored fillings
•  Metal free crowns and bridges
•  Night guards
•  Sports mouth guards
•  Removable and implant retained dentures
•  Pediatric dentistry
Keep your smile healthy and bright with these procedures.

Dental Implants

You don’t need to suffer with loose dentures, or missing teeth. Implants can be used to replace:  

• Single missing teeth  
• Multiple missing teeth  
• To make dentures more stable  

Dental Implants are artificial teeth surgically placed where the missing teeth used to be. There are many benefits to implants such as:  

• A more youthful appearance  
• No slurred speech or clicking dentures  
• The appearance and feel of natural teeth  
• A natural chewing motion  
• No more ill-fitting dentures  
• No more nightly soaking, denture adhesives or daily maintenance  

We work closely with our specialists who place the implants. We restore implants with crowns that allow them to function as a tooth in your mouth, once they are determined by the specialist to be ready for restoration.

Veneers

Veneers can instantly transform your smile

Traditional Veneers are thin shells of porcelain that are custom fit to the front side of your teeth. There is minimal preparation of your
teeth needed for this restoration, but the changes to your smile are magnificent! This type of veneer is generally chosen when we are altering the shape of teeth.

Minimal and No Prep Veneers are ultra thin shells of porcelain that are custom fit to your teeth. There is no removal of tooth structure
with this type of veneer. They are generally chosen when we have excess space between the teeth.

Veneers can instantly transform your smile!

Teeth Whitening

Our teeth naturally darken as we age. Certain habits and foods we eat such as coffee, tea, red wine and smoking all affect the brightness of our smile.

Make your smile as dazzling as your personality!

We will take impressions and make customized trays for you. You place the whitening material in trays and wear them for the recommended time per day. Within a few days you will be on the road to a whiter and brighter smile.  

For ongoing whitening we offer a touch up kit of whitening material  for those of you who have good fitting custom trays and want to maintain your sparkling smile! 

PEDIATRIC DENTISTRY

Give your child the gift of early dentistry!

First appointment: We recommend that your child be seen for their first dental visit around the age of two, once all of their primary teeth are erupted.  If there is an older sibling or friend who is accustomed to visiting the dentist, it can be helpful for an apprehensive child to watch an exam/cleaning visit before their own.

We appreciate positive language when discussing dentistry with your child. Working together with early  exposure children have a wonderful experience at the dental office.

Preventive Measures:

In addition to the regular exams and cleanings we all need, children’s teeth need other preventive measures such as dental sealants and fluoride treatments. Ask our doctors if your child would benefit from these protective services.

Sealants

This protective coating fills in the cracks and crevices of our teeth, helping to make brushing easier and prevent a cavity from starting.

Fluoride

Young teeth need extra protection. Acids produced from many of the foods we ingest as a young person will damage the enamel of our teeth. Fluoride is a natural occurring element which can strengthen the enamel of our teeth. This is applied quickly and easily after a cleaning is done.

We look forward to helping your child begin a journey that will lead them to continued dental health!
