• X-rays

Preventive

• Teeth Cleaning
• Fluoride Treatment

Restorative

• Fillings
• Veneers
  A: Porcelain veneers are designed to look like your natural teeth and are individually and permanently attached to the fronts of you existing teeth. Bonding utilizes a composite material made of plastic to fill in areas of your teeth and correct chipping and shape problems. Both porcelain veneers and bonding are color-matched to the rest of your teeth.
• Crowns
  A: These are restorations to repair a severely broken tooth by covering all or most of th tooth aver removing old fillings, fractured tooth structure, and all decay. The restoration material is made of gold, porcelain, composites, or even stainless steel. Dentists refer to all of these restorations as “crowns”. However, patients often refer to the tooth-colored one as “caps” and the gold or stainless steel ones as “crowns”.
• Bridges
• Dental Bonding

Endodontics

• Root Canal Treatment
  I enjoy all aspects of general dentisty, especially working with children, cometic dentistry, oral surgery and endodontics. Away from the practice, I spend much time with family and friends and enjoy fishing, golfing and generally being outdoors as much as possible.

Prosthodontics

• Dentures
  A: Both bridges and partial dentures replace missing teeth. A bridge is permanently attached to abutment teeth or, in some cases implants. A partial denture is attached by clasps to teeth and is easily removed by the patient. Patients are usually more satisfied with bridges than with partial dentures.

Implants

• Dental Implants
  Our practice offers a variety of cosmetic dental services to improve the look and feel of your smile. Some of the most popular services include: teeth whitening, implants, veneers, crowns and bridges. Schedule an appointment with our qualified dental professionals to see what options are best for your smile.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

• Oral Surgery
  A: One of our staff members will compile your medical and dental history during your first visit. We will then examine your teeth and gums, screen you for oral cancer, may X-rays of your teeth as needed and complete a TMJ (temporomanibular or jaw joint) exam. After we review your dental profile, we will discuss a diagnosis with you. If treatment such as a root canal (endodontics), braces (orthodontics), or oral surgery is needed, we will plan to treat you in our office or refer you to a specialist. We will discuss your options for treatment and fee payment and help you determine the best plan to fit your needs.
• Tooth Extractions
  It's best for the orthodontist to see children by age 7 to advise if orthodontic treatment is required and it is the best time for that patient to be treated. The first permanent molars and incisors have usually come in by that time and crossbites, crowding, and other problems can be evaluated. When treatment is begun early, the orthodontist can guide the growth of the jaw and guide incoming permanent teeth. Early treatment can also regulate the width of the upper and lower dental arches, gain space for permanent teeth, avoid the need for permanent tooth extractions, reduce likelihood of impacted permanent teeth, correct thumb-sucking, and eliminate abnormal swallowing or speech problems. In other words, early treatment can simplify later treatment.

Orthodontics

• Orthodontics
  We believe that orthodontics is about more than straight teeth. It is about preserving your teeth and building confidence and a positive self-image.
• Braces
  Orthodontic treatment can be successful at any age, and adults especially appreciate the benefits of a beautiful smile. In fact, one of every five patients in braces is over age 21. If you have ever said "My teeth don’t bother me, I just don’t smile." Think of how that may be affecting you or others' perception of you. It is the condition of a person’s teeth, gums, and supporting bone that is the deciding factor on treatment, not age. Orthodontics is a great investment at any age and with the availability of clear appliances there has never been a better time to get that beautiful smile.

General

• Teeth Whitening
  A: There are several methods available for bleaching the teeth; in office, overnight or daily. Brite Smile bleaching is done in our office. One session generally lasts one and a half to two hours, and you can read or relax during the treatment. For overnight bleaching, we make an impression of your teeth and create a mouth guard that fits your bite. Each day you fill the mouth guard with a small amount of bleaching gel and wear it overnight or for a few hours during the day. The overnight bleaching process takes approximately two weeks.
