We can catch issues before they become a problem

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.

Oral Cancer Screening

Early detection and treatment of oral cancer can significantly increase your chances of a quick and complete recovery. At every hygiene visit, we examine all the tissues of your mouth including gums, cheeks, lips, and tongue. If we suspect any unusual changes in your mouth tissue, we may suggest a biopsy and microscopic analysis by a qualified lab.

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.

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.

Clear Aligners

For ultimate camouflage, 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 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.

Restorative

We can restore your teeth to perfect 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.

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.

Oral Condition Treatment

Conservative care for optimal oral, and overall, 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.

Sleep Apnea

Researchers estimate that more than 12 million Americans have obstructive sleep apnea. Most cases are still undiagnosed and can contribute to diabetes, high blood pressure, hypertension, congestive heart failure, coronary artery disease, and traffic accidents related to drowsy driving. Dentistry serves a vital role in treating this silent epidemic. The American Academy of Sleep Medicine recommends oral appliances as primary therapy for the treatment of mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea and for patients with severe sleep apnea who can't tolerate CPAP treatment.

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

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.

Pediatric Restorative Dentistry

If your child needs restorative treatment, we will create a custom treatment plan for your child and review all treatment options with you before treatment begins. Our team will ensure that your child stays comfortable throughout their appointment and provide the best care possible to them.

Dental 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.

Frenectomy

A frenum or frenulum is a small piece of tissue that attaches either the upper lip to the gum tissue or the tongue to the floor of the mouth. In some children, this frenum or frenulum is attached too tightly and can pull on the lips or gums causing tongue-tie, problems nursing, speech issues, and other concerns. During a frenectomy, we make a small incision in the frenum or frenulum, allowing for greater movement of the lips. Results are instant.
