Dental Services Offered

PROFESSIONAL CLEANING & EXAM - Professional cleanings are extremely important. We like to see our patients every six months to ensure the highest quality care. We offer a unique approach to preventive dentistry. We believe that prevention is one of the most important areas of dentistry. Our Hygienists take a full body approach to oral health by checking your blood pressure and reviewing you daily eating habits. Our doctors continue this line of thought by performing oral cancer screens, discussing overall medical health history, and performing a thorough diagnosis of any existing oral conditions. We are happy to take the time to discuss any questions you have, for our goal is to ensure the highest quality dental care.

PERIODONTAL TREATMENT - According to the FDA approximately 75% of Americans over age 35 have some form of periodontal disease. Periodontal disease is the eroding of bone due to bacteria in the gums of the mouth. The best course of treatment for periodontal disease is to have thorough cleanings every three months to keep the mouth as clean as possible. Through the use of oral medicines and frequent thorough cleanings it is possible to maintain healthy teeth. Our Hygienists and Doctors believe in this course of treatment and strive to maintain a consistent level of health for those diagnosed with this condition. Our periodontal program is custom designed to meet individual needs based on the level of disease progress.

DENTAL SEALANTS - One of the best gifts you can give your children is a healthy body and smile. Sealants are a coating bonded to the surface of the newly formed bicuspids and molars. New molars have many places for sugar and bacteria to hide. We use this procedure to help keep the sugar and bacteria from hiding and causing cavities. Recommended by the American Dental Association this is one of the best ways to help children maintain a healthy smile.

ROOT CANAL TREATMENT - The mere mention of this procedure used to send shivers down the spine, but thanks to the modern methods employed by our experienced Doctors this procedure is painless and easy. We save many healthy teeth from being extracted by removing the pulp and decay of the tooth and sealing it off from further damage.

CROWNS - Crowns are used to correct crooked or cracked teeth or to restore strength to a tooth after a root canal. Crowns cover the top part of the tooth making them ideal for restoring damaged teeth. Our custom fabricated crowns offer strength, stain resistance, and are incredibly natural in appearance making them a great way to restore your smile.

BRIDGES - Bridges are a great way to replace missing teeth. Similar to crowns, bridges are custom fabricated and are fixed in place so there is no need to remove and clean. Bridges are ideal for people who are missing one or two teeth and want a natural replacement.

REMOVABLE PARTIAL DENTURES/FULL DENTURES - Partial dentures are a great choice for patients who have multiple teeth missing but retain healthy teeth as well. Partials are a lifelike replacement that is removable to allow proper tooth care and cleaning. Our full dentures are made of top grade material and custom fabricated to be very lifelike. With the new advances in implants dentures can now be fitted with attachments to help anchor them in place for a more confident smile.

IMPLANTS - An alternative to partials and bridges are implants. Implants are metal posts that are fused to the bone in the jaw to allow for a crown or denture to attach. Implants are usually performed by a Periodontist or Oral Surgeon due to the complexity of the procedure. We have been working with local Periodontists and Oral surgeons for years and are happy to assist with the follow up care for crowns and dentures.

ORAL SURGERY - Tooth removal can be dreaded experience but here at our office we strive to make the procedure as comfortable as possible. We offer nitrous oxide (laughing gas), warm blankets, and headphones to help you relax. Our caring staff and doctors feel that your visit should be as stress free as possible whether you are having a broken tooth removed or your wisdom teeth.

VENEERS - One of the easiest ways to dramatically change your smile is veneers. We use veneers to correct chipped, worn, excessively spaced or discolored teeth. Veneers are a porcelain shell that is custom fitted to the front of the teeth. Veneers are a great way to improve the appearance of your teeth due to their stain resistance and realistic appearance.

BONDING - Bonding is a great way to refresh your smile. We use a tooth colored material to bond to the front of the teeth to correct chipped, worn, or spaced teeth. This procedure is quick and easy with striking results by the end of your appointment.

TEETH WHITENING - Over time teeth stain from the foods we eat and things we drink. We can help turn back time for your smile with our ZOOM™ whitening treatment. ZOOM™ is an innovative tooth whitening treatment that has been featured on Extreme Makeover. This in office process that takes about an hour and the results can be dramatic. A white smile is a fast and easy way to give yourself a boost of confidence. For added convenience we also offer a variety of take home kits to help you maintain your new smile.

TRADITIONAL BRACES - Traditional braces can be used to straighten teeth and align the jaw to help improve the appearance of the face. Our Dentists take a lifelong approach to dental care by evaluating children for orthodontic necessity. When braces are started in childhood the teeth are guided into a straight position as the child grows. Adults also benefit from braces from helping improve self image to alleviate jaw pain caused by improper teeth alignment. Orthodontics can be extremely beneficial to all ages.

INVISALIGN® - As an alternative to traditional metal braces, Invisalign is a new approach to straightening teeth. Straightening teeth with the Invisalign program is convenient and takes about 1/3 of the time of traditional braces. The teeth are straightened by a series of clear trays that slowly shift teeth into alignment so no one can tell you are wearing braces. We find this approach most appealing to busy adults who would like to close a gap between teeth or correct slightly crooked teeth.
