Diagnostic

• Dental Examination
  The good news is that if oral cancer is caught early enough, your chances for survival increase dramatically - from 57 percent to more than 80 percent. What's the best way to catch it early? Be sure to visit your dentist regularly for oral examinations, which typically include an oral cancer screening in the form of a soft tissue exam which includes a visual inspection of the oral cavity and palpation of the head, neck and oral cavity.

Preventive

• Teeth Cleaning
  We have gone a step further and are using the latest in digital equipment where the need for any sensor inside your mouth is rarely needed. Most patients would testify that the worst part of a tooth cleaning visit is having the xrays taken. It can be especially painful to those with small mouths and often gouging and cutting under the tongue. So our dentists have made sure that their equipment can make that pain a thing of the past!
• Fluoride Treatment
• Dental Sealants
  Helping you and your child establish sound eating and oral care habits reduces the chance of later tooth decay. In addition to providing check ups and dental cleanings, our hygienists and Drs. apply dental sealants and topical fluoride to young teeth.

Restorative

• Veneers
  Porcelain veneers offers the ultimate in esthetics. A veneer is a thin facing or covering that bonds to the natural tooth structure. A much more conservative alternative to crowns (caps) that can give you the smile you have always dreamed of and deserve.
• Crowns
  Crowns, or caps, are used to restore broken or cracked teeth. The new metal-free crowns eliminate the ugly black line you may have seen next to the gum line on older crowns.

Endodontics

• Root Canal Treatment
  Root canal treatment is also known as endodontics. Root canal treatment is required when tooth decay has broken through the outer enamel and infected the heart of the tooth.

Prosthodontics

• Dentures
  Two types of dentures are available full (complete) and partial dentures. A complete denture is used when all the teeth are missing and covers your entire upper or lower jaw, while a partial denture is used when some natural teeth remain.
