Preventative

Brushing and flossing daily is great, but regular appointments ensure that we can catch any potential issues before they become an actual 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.

  • 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.

  • Oral Cancer Screening

    Early detection and treatment of oral cancer can significantly increase your chances of a quick and complete recovery. Oral cancer can afflict anyone although tobacco users put themselves at significantly higher risk than non-users. At every hygiene visit, we examine all the tissues of your mouth including gums, cheeks, lips, tongue, and jaw. If we suspect any unusual changes in your mouth tissue, we may suggest a biopsy and microscopic analysis by a qualified lab.

Restorative

Cavities and other dental issues happen to everyone - no need to stress. Schedule an appointment so 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 will inject an anesthetic near the tooth to numb the area. Then, we will remove any decay present in the open space and fill it in with a tooth-colored dental restoration material.

  • 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 used 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/Wisdom Teeth

    Teeth sometimes need to be removed to protect your health. Whether your mouth doesn’t have enough space for wisdom teeth to erupt properly or you have a tooth that is too damaged to save, our team will take every step to help you. Your well-being always takes priority in any treatment decision. Some patients prefer sedation to help with oral surgery, and we can review these options in your treatment plan. 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. You may experience slight pain and discomfort for a few days after your root canal.

  • DIAGNOdent™ Laser Cavity Detection

    We use DIAGNOdent™ to detect cavities as soon as they start to appear. One of our team members will simply pass a handpiece device over your teeth and DIAGNOdent will rate the health of each tooth. This innovative technology will also alert us if a tooth has decay present. DIAGNOdent allows us to catch cavities much earlier than traditional methods, so treating any tooth decay that is detected is typically less invasive and keeps more of the natural tooth intact. 

  • Pocket Irrigation

    Pocket irrigation is a minimally invasive treatment for gum disease. Food, plaque, and other debris are gently removed from between the teeth with a pocket irrigation device to keep the periodontal pockets clean. Pocket irrigation can also be used to administer antimicrobials below the gum line to eliminate harmful bacteria. 

  • ARESTIN® Antibiotic Treatments

    Arestin® is an antibiotic used as a treatment for periodontal disease. This powdered medication is placed in infected gum pockets after scaling and root planing procedures. After Arestin is administered, the antibiotic will actively treat infected periodontal pockets for 30 days. Patients who receive Arestin after their scaling and root planing procedure have significantly better results than patients who only receive a scaling and root planing treatment.

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.

  • Dental Bonding

    Gaps and chips in your smile can be seamlessly corrected with dental bonding. Modern resins, known as composites, are putty-like materials that are artistically sculpted on the tooth to correct imperfections and are then quickly set with a powerful light. The resin used is matched to the exact color of your natural teeth and is stain resistant, allowing your restoration to blend in perfectly with the rest of your smile. 

  • ICON Resin Infiltration

    Icon resin infiltration is a minimally invasive treatment that prevents cavities before they cause damage to your teeth and without the need for drilling or anesthesia. When cavities start to develop, they look like white patches on the teeth or show as a small shadow on a digital x-ray. If we identify a cavity in this early stage, we use the Icon system to stop the cavity from progressing and causing damage to the tooth. This procedure dramatically lowers your chance of developing larger cavities in the treatment area over time and stops the progression of tooth decay before it causes any issues that significantly affect your oral health.

  • KöR Teeth Whitening Treatments

    Teeth whitening can completely transform the appearance of your smile and leave you feeling more confident. KöR has been recognized worldwide for its astonishing ability to brighten even the toughest stains. KöR can be used to whiten your teeth in our office or the comfort of your own home. In-office treatments are quick and provide instant, long-lasting results. Our KöR home whitening kits are easy to use and can brighten your smile significantly in as little as two weeks.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Frenectomies

    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.

  • 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.
