Our Services
Our practice is working together to realize a shared vision of uncompromising excellence in dentistry.
General to Complex Services
Regular dental visits are essential to make sure oral health problems — from tooth decay to oral cancer — are detected and treated in a timely manner. At our office, your oral health is our paramount concern.
Bonding
Dental bonding is a conservative cosmetic treatment that improves the appearance of chipped, discolored, or misshapen teeth using composite resin to repair and restore the tooth surface.
Crowns
A crown is a custom-made “cap” that covers the entire visible surface of a tooth. Your dentist might recommend a crown to strengthen, protect, or restore a tooth.
Dental Implants
A dental implant is a metal post, usually made of titanium, which replaces the root portion of a missing tooth. Your dentist will then place a replacement tooth to the post, which can be permanently attached or removable. Permanent replacement teeth are more stable and feel more like natural teeth.
Filling
A filling is used when a hole or cavity in a tooth is detected in its early stages. A composit us used during this procedure to fill the area to prevent further tooth decay.
Oral Cancer Screening
Oral cancer screenings check for any precancerous or cancerous conditions in the mouth. An oral cancer screening is completed with an ultraviolet light that allows your dentist to view issues that cannot be detected with the naked eye.
Early Orthodontic Treatment
Between the ages of seven and 14, the teeth and jaw are still developing, making them more malleable for effective interceptive orthodontic treatment. Sometimes patients as young as seven years old are able to begin orthodontic treatment, though their candidacy depends on specific conditions of their mouths.
Periodontal Therapy Procedures
Gum disease is a bacterial infection that inflames the soft tissue around your teeth and becomes more severe if left untreated. Over time, gum disease will erode the bone that supports your teeth, leading to tooth mobility and loss.
Porcelain Veneers
Veneers are a popular choice for cosmetic enhancement because they are a straightforward and natural-looking way to create a brighter and more uniform smile. The veneer process is completed over several appointments:
Professional Teeth Cleanings
Interdental brushes are a great alternative to removing extra debris between your teeth, especially near the molars where it may be harder to reach with floss. If you’re suffering from gum disease, interdental brushes are a more gentle approach to flossing. With minimal bleeding of the gums, and ultimately minimal damage, interdental brushes can help to halt the progression of gum disease.
Removable Dentures
Missing teeth impact not only appearance, but oral health as well. If you’ve lost some or all of your teeth because of trauma, periodontal infection, or decay, dentures are one of the options which can offer you a healthier, more attractive smile.
Root Canal Treatment
A root canal is procedure to remove inflamed or infected pulp on the inside of the tooth which is then carefully cleaned and disinfected, then filled and sealed. It is designed to eliminate bacteria from the infected root canal, prevent reinfection of the tooth and save the natural tooth.
Sealants
Sealants are invisible plastic resin coatings that are painted on the chewing surfaces of back teeth. Sealants smooth out teeth, making them easier to brush, as well as create a protective barrier, so food and bacteria cannot penetrate the tooth.
Teeth Whitening
Over time, stain-causing foods and beverages, smoking, and thinning enamel can dim the brightest smile. If you are feeling self-conscious about your teeth, we can help you discover the whitening treatment that is best for you.
TMJ Treatments
If you suspect you might have TMj, we will conduct a careful examination of your temporomandibular joints, range of movement, and your head and neck. When needed, imaging studies can be used for further examination of the joint and then treatments will be recommended.
Tooth Extractions
Dentists prefer to preserve your natural teeth as much as possible, but sometimes that just isn’t an option. There are two ways a tooth can be removed, depending on how severe the damage is to the tooth: simple or surgical. Depending on the case, we will recommend and schedule the procedure.
