The Preventive Program

Our dental hygienists are committed to your oral health. Our program is customized to every patient, depending on your dental needs. It is designed to help educate our patients and provide you with the best preventive care. Their goal is to help you preserve your teeth by preventing new cavities and treating periodontal disease. We want you to value your smile for a lifetime.

Veneers

Veneers are thin, custom-made ceramic shells designed to cover the front side of your teeth. They can be used to correct cracked, misshapen, chipped or stained teeth. Your veneers will look completely natural and dramatically transform the appearance of your smile.

Dental Implants

Dental implants are designed to feel, look and function like natural teeth. They are titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone and function as the root of a tooth. They can also provide a fixed solution to having a removable partial or complete denture. Implants have become the standard of care for replacing missing teeth.

Invisalign®

Invisalign® straightens your teeth without wires and brackets, using a series of clear, customized, removable appliances called aligners. It's virtually undetectable, which means hardly anyone will know that you're straightening your teeth. All of our Invisalign® cases include retainers and a complimentary teeth whitening. As a Premier Invisalign® provider, our staff has the experience and knowledge to give you the smile you’ve always wanted.

Invisalign® is a registered trademark of Align Technology, Inc.

GLO™ Teeth Whitening

The GLO Brilliant™ Personal Teeth Whitening Device reinvents the experience of teeth whitening using patented G.L.O. (Guided Light Optic) technology, combining heat plus light in a closed system mouthpiece. Get your teeth white fast, with one 32-minute in-office whitening session with minimal sensitivity. Then maintain your smile anytime at home with GLO Science PRO Take-Home Whitening Device.

Composite Fillings/Bonding

Adhesive dentistry now allows us to conservatively restore teeth. Today's restorative materials such as composite (resin) and porcelain are not only strong and durable, but will restore your teeth with a natural esthetic. We take special care in advancing the art and science of your smile.

Crowns/Caps

The terms dental crowns and caps are synonymous. Crowns are typically used to restore and protect a tooth. They are necessary when a tooth is cracked, broken, discolored or severely decayed. Today’s ceramic materials are stronger and better than ever before. Emax porcelain allows us to successfully and predictably bond to tooth structure while zirconium crowns offers us unsurpassed strength with natural esthetics.

Bridges

A bridge may be used to replace missing teeth, help maintain the shape of your face, and alleviate stress on your bite. It is made from metal and/or porcelain and is supported by the surrounding teeth.

Dentures

When missing most or all of your teeth a full or partial denture is a common treatment option that will restore both function and appearance. They will allow you to eat with confidence, talk normally and provide you with a natural looking smile.

Periodontics

Periodontal disease (gum disease) is a serious bacterial infection that affects the gums and the underlining bone. If left untreated, it can lead to tooth loss. It can be difficult to know if you have gum disease or not, which is why it’s important to come in for your regular dental checkup so we can evaluate for any signs of gum disease and take the necessary steps to treat it.

Oral Surgery / Extractions

Unfortunately, sometimes teeth are non-restorable. In other circumstances, certain dental infections can affect your overall health and wellness. In addition if your wisdom teeth (third molars) don’t grow in correctly they can cause severe problems to your mouth, jaw, gums and surrounding teeth. In these situations we’ll have to remove these teeth to improve your oral health.

Root Canal

If the nerve of a tooth becomes infected or the pulp becomes damaged, a root canal needs to be performed in order to save the tooth and prevent further damage to the surrounding areas. During a root canal procedure, the nerve and the pulp are removed and the inside of the tooth is cleaned and sealed. Thanks to modern technology, today’s root canals are quick and painless.

TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint) / Nightguard

TMJ is the hinge joint of your jaws that allows your mouth to open and close properly. Temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD) is defined as any hindrance your body has developed which prevents the TMJ from functioning properly. Symptoms of TMD include headaches and earaches, as well as aching jaws and teeth. TMD can also cause a distinct clicking or crackling in the jaw and pain upon opening and closing your mouth. Many patients suffer from teeth grinding or clenching, often without realizing it. It can cause uncomfortable muscle spasms, headaches, and stiffness in your jaw. A nightguard made specifically from molds of your teeth will help protect your teeth from unwanted wear and soften the trauma to your TMJ.

Nitrous Oxide (Laughing gas) / Sedation Dentistry

No need to stress. For patients who experience high levels of dental anxiety, we offer a variety of choices. From nitrous oxide (laughing gas) to treatment under the care of a dental anesthesiologist, we’ll gladly do whatever it takes to make you feel relaxed and leave you smiling.

Pediatric Dental Care

We love kids! We take pride in creating and maintaining healthy smiles for life. From an early age, we focus on establishing good oral hygiene habits in a fun and educational environment.
