Routine Exams

and Cleanings

We pride ourselves on the focus we have on preventative and comprehensive dental care. This includes things such as periodic evaluations, professional cleanings, digital imaging, flouride treatment, and addressing any specific concerns you have. The dentist may diagnose conditions and make treatment recommendations based on their findings.

Pediatric Care

We love to see children of all ages.  We take our time to build a relationship with your child and to promote a lifetime of healthy oral hygiene habits.  We take a conservative approach and involve you with their treatment needs.  At times, a specialist may need to be involved based on the child’s specific needs.

Gum/Periodontal Care

Periodontal or Gum disease is a common condition in which the tissues surrounding the teeth, such as the bone and gums, becomes compromised and deteriorates thereby affecting the teeth. We will work with you to treat and maintain your specific condition to prevent further progression of the disease with procedures such as scaling, root planing, and periodontal maintenance.  Sometimes a referral to a specialist may be necessary.

Restorative Treatment

For several reasons, the structure of teeth can be compromised and we are able to restore a tooth to a more favorable or functional state by placing restorations, fillings, crowns and bridges.

Root Canal/Endodontic Therapy

When the nerve and/or associated tissues within the tooth become infected or compromised root canal therapy becomes necessary to attempt to keep the rest of the tooth and possibly avoid extraction. In most circumstances, a crown or restoration is needed after root canal treatment. Based on your specific circumstances, a referral to a specialist may be needed.

Tooth Removal/

Extractions

Sometimes removal of a tooth becomes the best option or necessary treatment. We do our best to provide you with the best possible experience through this difficult process. There are times when referral to a specialist may be necessary.

Cosmetic Dentistry

We can help you improve your smile by improving the appearance of your teeth with a variety of procedures ranging from esthetic restorations or fillings which can be done in-office to lab fabricated veneers and crowns, to temporary or permanent tooth replacement, to orthodontic treatment to help align your teeth.

Orthodontic Care

We offer treatment options related to orthodontics or tooth positioning such as clear aligners, and fixed and removable retainers.

Occlusal Appliances

Over time we can develop symptoms and signs of jaw problems problems associated with the way our teeth come together. Sometimes the use of a mouthguard or nightguard can improve symptoms associated with grinding or clenching and other occlusal or jaw related concerns. We can also provide custom made appliances such as sports mouthguards to protect your teeth. We will help find the best appliance for your needs.

Prosthetic Care/

Implants

Often times replacement of missing teeth becomes necessary. We can provide options such as full dentures, implant supported restorations, removable partial dentures, and temporary removable dentures or flippers. Sometimes specialists may need to be involved based on specific needs or treatment requirements.

Emergency Care

We are here to help relieve your pain the best we can. We will do an exam and diagnose your condition. For most instances, we will be able to treat your pain in office or offer some pain relief with medications or palliative treatment. If a referral is necessary, we will do our best to facilitate this process for you.
