Diagnostic

• Dental Examination
  You may look in the mirror and wonder why your teeth don’t look as white and bright as they once did. Even if you take great care of them by brushing and flossing regularly as well as keeping up with dental exams, it’s inevitable that your teeth will lose their white color over time. It’s a natural part of the aging process. Other past or current habits can also discolor teeth such as...
• X-rays

Preventive

• Teeth Cleaning
  We understand that not everyone loves a trip to the dentist. For some, even a routine cleaning and exam can generate fear and anxiety to the point they avoid getting their teeth the care they need. This procrastination is doubly concerning because it means that a patient’s teeth may be in jeopardy and end up requiring more extensive dental procedures to correct what may have started as a routine issue. Timely treatment for any dental problem, even the regularity of keeping up with annual cleanings, is critical to limiting the spread of disease and decay that lead to invasive procedures.

• Dental Sealants

Restorative

• Fillings
• Resin Composite
  While metal fillings have served reliably for years, composite resin fillings are a popular choice for patients who prefer something that blends in naturally with their teeth. This is especially beneficial for filling in a visible spot near the front of the mouth.
• Veneers
  Veneers are an affordable option to help dental patients get a whiter and brighter smile through an easy process performed right in our office. They fix various common dental problems and provide numerous benefits such as...
• Crowns
  Dental crowns and caps are essentially the same thing. A dental crown is a prosthetic cap that is set over an existing tooth, and why the terms crown and cap are used interchangeably. They are custom-made so that they look and feel just like the patient’s natural teeth.
• Bridges
  Dental bridges are a convenient option to replace a tooth that’s entirely missing due to an accident or bone loss in the jaw. It’s one of the less invasive procedures, and pain is minimal, if there’s any at all. It is also one of the most affordable options to replace missing teeth. The bridge connects to healthy teeth on either side of the space, no matter how many false teeth are installed with the bridge.
• Dental Bonding
  If you receive tooth bonding for a chip or a composite resin filling, it’s essential to practice good oral hygiene to protect your new dental work and ensure it lasts as long as possible. Fillings are typically in an area where teeth undergo a lot of stress from chewing and grinding. Be careful with hard or sticky foods, visit the dentist regularly, and take care of your teeth to help you get the most out of these services.
• Restorative Dentistry
  Restorative dentistry will address any issues your teeth may be facing. Part of an annual checkup is for the dentist to closely examine teeth and gums to look for signs of disease or decay. It’s also an opportunity to discuss anything that is bothering your teeth, whether they feel sensitive or you notice any pain or bleeding. Our restorative services will...

Endodontics

• Root Canal Treatment
  Root canal therapy is a process performed by an endodontist to relieve pain caused by an infection or inflammation in a tooth’s root. The trauma is caused by infected pulp inside the root of the tooth, leading to an abscess at the base of the tooth inside the gums. Left untreated, the infection causes severe pain. The best treatment is to have a dentist remove the pulp inside the tooth, disinfect and reshape the root canals, and place a filling that will seal the space and keep it free of infection.

Periodontics

• Deep Cleaning

Prosthodontics

• Dentures
  Dentures are available to fill various patient needs. Some, usually older patients, have bone deterioration to the degree that they can no longer support any real teeth. Other patients may find they only need a few teeth or as little as one tooth replaced. In either case, we have a solution for any patient requiring dentures.

Implants

• Dental Implants
  With proper care, dental implants should last a patient a couple of decades. Patients who lose teeth and don’t have the jawbone structure to support implants tend to suffer continued bone deterioration over time. However, with dental implants, your jawbone will have the ability to continue to grow and remain healthy for years to come.
