- Dental ExaminationOur Comprehensive Exam is key to developing unique treatment plans to achieve our patients’ end goals. In most cases, the results of the examination are analyzed by Dr. Lehman or Dr. Thibaudeau and shared immediately. Certain cases may warrant mulitple appointments to complete the indicated treatment plan. In every case, our goal is to provide complete transparency by ensuring that our patients understand all options available to them.
- Oral Cancer ScreeningIf you are a tobacco or smokeless tobacco user, you are at a greater risk of developing oral cancer. Our duty is to prevent this deadly disease from occurring. We provide oral cancer screenings during all preventative care appointments.
- Fluoride TreatmentThis varnish is applied at each 6 month hygiene appointment. It strengthens the enamel on your child's teeth to make it more difficult for cavities to start. Semi-annual fluoride application is recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics.
- Dental SealantsThese protective coatings are applied to deep pits/grooves in permanent posterior teeth to seal out decay-producing plaque. They are painlessly bonded and last two to three years before needing to be replaced. Sealants serve in a preventative capacity to reduce the risk of cavities in the most common place that cavities occur - the biting surface. Not only do they prevent costly fillings, but they also prevent the need for future replacement fillings and crowns. Most often they are applied to permanent adult teeth.
- Fillings
- Resin CompositeBonding is a process in which tooth-colored composite resin is applied to tooth surfaces, sculpted into shape, hardened, and polished to match surrounding teeth. Bonding can close gaps, repair chipped or fractured teeth, and disguise discolored teeth. It usually requires one office visit and no anesthetic. This is especially helpful if your child falls and cracks a front tooth.
- VeneersVeneers, usually customized from porcelain, are thin, semi-translucent facings bonded to the front teeth. Veneers are durable, stain resistant, and are exceptionally natural looking. They conceal broken, chipped, discolored, crooked, and misshapen teeth.
- CrownsA crown is a restoration that covers a tooth in order to strengthen and restore it to its normal shape and size. A crown may be placed to support a large filling when there is little remaining tooth structure, attach a bridge, protect weak teeth from fracturing, protect root canal treated teeth from splitting or restore fractured teeth.
- BridgesA fixed bridge, made either with gold or porcelain (tooth colored), is used to replace missing teeth. A bridge helps to create a normal bite, prevent stress on the dental ridge, prevent the drifting and tilt of adjacent teeth, inhibit decay in abnormal areas and slow the onset of periodontal diseases. It is cemented in place and stays permanently on your teeth.

- Dental ImplantsAfter being surgically placed in the bone, implant replacements can range from a single tooth restoration, multiple unit fixed bridge, or a whole jaw restoration. The implant prosthesis is the tooth that fits on top of the implant. Dr. Lehman and Dr. Thibaudeau’s implant training allows them to use the best system for each particular patient.
- BracesDr. Rebecca has been a certified Healthy Start provider since January 2018. The Healthy Start system uses a series of removable appliances to encourage proper tongue position and function. With correct oral posture and muscle function, maximum growth and development of the maxilla and mandible can be achieved. This guided development from an early age (as young as 2yrs old) ensures proper jaw growth for all of the permanent teeth to erupt without crowding. Most cases finish with straight teeth in a stable occlusion without the need for braces.
- Teeth WhiteningThis tooth whitening process offers those with stained, discolored, or dull teeth a whiter, brighter smile. Bleaching significantly reduces sub-surface stains caused by the enamel absorption of staining food or drink. We provide both an at-home (custom upper and lower trays) bleaching system as well as an in-office procedure. It is a painless and affordable process. In-office "power bleaching" gives you that bright, white smile in one 1 hour visit. Crest white strips also are effective and are available at our office or over the counter at your local pharmacy center.
- Cosmetic DentistryHowever, if you still have doubts about your smile, if you refrain from smiling fully, or smiling altogether, cosmetic dentistry offers you the opportunity to regain the freedom and the confidence you have lost.
