Complete Dental Services

Dental Cleanings & Exams

It is highly recommended that all dental patients see a dentist for a cleaning and exam every 6 months. During the cleaning, our team will remove plaque and calculus from your teeth, leaving behind a bright and polished smile.

Fillings

Teeth can be subject to decay and cracks, and when this occurs, a dental filling is needed to restore the tooth.

Extractions

When it comes to decaying, damaged teeth that can not be helped by fillings, crowns, or bridges, an extraction is an option that can be performed to eliminate the pain and infection comfortably.

Invisalign

Invisalign is an effective alternative to metal braces by using custom-made, invisible aligners to straighten your teeth. They have no uncomfortable wires, and because they are removable, patients can eat and drink whatever they want.

Pediatric Dentistry

For your children, we make sure they have a great time at the dentist. That might sound like a tall order, but our staff keeps a positive atmosphere and makes the whole experience comfortable. We believe that it’s helpful to keep your children well informed about what we do so they know they have nothing to fear.

Digital X-Rays

X-rays are an effective preventive and diagnostic tool that provides our team with important information not visible during a visual dental exam. Our team will utilize digital radiographs to safely and accurately detect any potential problems and then create a treatment plan to resolve them.

Teeth Whitening

Our teeth whitening treatments utilize modern technology to reduce unsightly stains and leave you with an even more stunning smile that is both whiter and brighter than before.

Periodontal Services

Periodontal disease is a serious condition that can progress without any symptoms, so early detection and treatment are very important. If left untreated, periodontal disease can destroy supporting bones in your mouth. The best way to ensure early detection is by scheduling a dental check-up and routine cleanings.

Crowns

A crown covers a tooth when it is severely damaged, decaying, or cannot be fixed with bonded filling material.

Dentures

A denture is a removable dental appliance made to resemble your natural teeth and serves as a replacement for any missing teeth and surrounding tissue.

Veneers

Porcelain veneers are thin, tooth-colored shells used to improve the appearance of your smile. Veneers are customized for a perfect fit and natural appearance and then bonded to the surfaces of your teeth to correct any flaws.

Bridges

When a tooth is lost due to gum disease, decay, or injury, a bridge is used to restore gaps left by missing teeth in your mouth and prevent unhealthy changes in your bite, looking and acting the same as natural teeth.

Dental Implants

As an alternative to bridges, partials, or full dentures, dental implants look and feel just like natural teeth. Implants are anchored into the patient’s jawbone with no preparation of the adjacent teeth. Implants can also help secure a removable denture to provide a patient with more comfort and confidence.

Root Canal Treatment

A root canal becomes necessary when the soft inner part of a tooth is injured or becomes inflamed or infected. This section of the tooth is made up of nerves, connective tissue, and blood vessels that help the tooth grow. The canals can be painlessly cleaned and sealed so that the tooth can be preserved for function and esthetics.

Patient Education

TIPS FOR CAVITY PREVENTION
1. Make sure your teeth are REALLY clean!

We recommend using a mechanical toothbrush to help you remove all the plaque from your teeth. You should be brushing twice a day and flossing once a day.

2. Use Fluoride

Whether it’s your toothpaste or your mouthwash, make sure it contains fluoride.

3. Make Good Nutritional Choices

It helps prevent cavities when you choose food and drinks with less acid and sugar. If you do eat acidic, sugary, or sticky foods, having a glass of water afterward will help neutralize the harmful effects.

4. Treat Your Dry Mouth

If you typically have reduced saliva due to medications, or any other reasons, we recommend you drink a lot of water to keep your mouth producing a healthy amount of saliva. This will help reduce cavity-causing bacteria found in your mouth.

5. Take Oral Probiotics

Oral probiotics can be taken to create and maintain a healthy balance of bacteria in our mouths.

6. Frequent Dental Visits

If you are at a higher risk for cavities and dental decay, it’s recommended that you see a dentist every three months. Give us a call today to schedule your next appointment.

Sedation/Anti-Anxiety

Certain dental procedures require sedation. Additionally, some patients experience anxiety surrounding procedures, and in certain cases, sedation is a helpful tool. We offer both laughing gas and an oral sedative, which must be prescribed. We do NOT offer IV sedation. Talk to your doctor about which option is right for you.

Digital Impressions

To complete digital impressions, we utilize our intraoral scanning tools whenever possible, as they are the preferred option over goop. In certain cases though, goop may be necessary to make the impressions manually.

Soft Tissue Laser Dentistry

Soft tissue laser dentistry is a gentle form of surgery that uses a narrow beam of light to treat soft tissue or gums. It can be used for a variety of dental procedures, including soft tissue recontouring, periodontal disease treatment, removing soft tissue lesions, treating aphthous ulcers, frenectomies, and whitening. The benefits of using lasers in dentistry include reduced discomfort during a procedure, less bleeding, shorter recovery time, and reduced risk of infection. Lasers are especially valuable in treating gum disease, as they kill bacteria and promote tissue regeneration. If interested in soft tissue laser dentistry, consult your dentist or hygienist at your next visit.
