Diagnostic

• Dental Examination
• X-rays
  ® is the first FDA-cleared, AI-powered dental platform to automatically and accurately detect numerous conditions in “real-time.” Using all of this machine intelligence allows for a “second set of eyes” when collecting, reviewing, and analyzing dental X-rays or imaging.

Preventive

• Teeth Cleaning
  Since the key to treating periodontal disease is early detection, the single best thing you can do is consistently see the dentist for checkups and cleanings. In fact, the single greatest common factor in most (not all) periodontal cases is the lack of thorough professional teeth cleanings.
• Fluoride Treatment
• Dental Sealants
  We have trained dental assistants who can and do help turn rooms, polish, apply fluoride, take X-rays, apply sealants.

Restorative

• Fillings
• Veneers
  Just like the rest of our body, teeth can age too. While it doesn’t wrinkle, it can lose its brightness, enamel, and texture over time. Veneers are a great way of replacing a faded smile with a bright new one. Its thin film-like properties allow it to be worn over your teeth without anyone noticing, providing for a natural-looking, beautiful smile.
• Crowns
  Crown me! Actually there are very few people that show up in our office actually asking for a crown. Well, that’s not entirely true. Because our fees are below average and we don’t nickel and dime our patients, we do get people that come to us to get crowns done because they were quoted higher fees elsewhere. Most, however, don’t really even know what a crown is.
• Bridges
  If we can’t “save” a decayed or otherwise damaged tooth, there are plenty of options to restore your healthy, functional, and attractive smile. One of these options includes dental bridges.

Endodontics

• Root Canal Treatment
  There are a few things that people dread more than root canal treatment. Media of all types refer to it as the standard by which all other bad things are compared. As in, I’d rather have a root canal than (fill in the blank).

Periodontics

• Deep Cleaning
  When we do discover early to moderate periodontal disease, our first treatment is virtually always a scaling, otherwise known as a “deep cleaning.” This removes the tartar from the teeth and the root surfaces which helps the gums heal and slows or even stops the disease. The key here is to get the scaling done as soon as possible, and afterwards to consistently see the dentist for cleanings every three to six months.

Prosthodontics

• Dentures
  Full dentures are used to replace a full arch of missing teeth. Meaning, they replace all of the teeth in the upper arch or all of the teeth in the lower arch or both. Partial dentures, which we discuss on another web page, are designed to replace some missing teeth in an arch where several natural teeth will remain to help support the partial.

Implants

• Dental Implants
  Possibly one of the greatest leaps forward in dental care is the advent of the dental implant. Implants are an extremely effective way to replace missing teeth. They stay in your mouth permanently and are effectively a complete replacement for the lost tooth or teeth.

Orthodontics

• Orthodontics
• Invisalign Orthodontics
• Braces
  1. They hold space for the permanent teeth. If the tooth is lost too soon then other teeth can move into the space and when the permanent tooth tries to come in it can’t. Then you’ll be looking at a big bill for braces.

General

• Teeth Whitening
  There are, I believe, a couple of reasons that these lights are used. First, they give the impression to the patient of a high tech approach to tooth bleaching. They use terms like “laser whitening” or similar. In short, they are a sales tool or gimmicks.
