- Dental ExaminationOnce your comprehensive exam begins, we start with a series of photos to document the condition of your smile. While we upload these photos into your files, your assistant will take the necessary x-rays. That’s when the real discovery starts: Our examinations are uniquely in-depth and comprehensive. If your diagnosis is straightforward, you may leave with a personal treatment plan the day of your examination. If your needs are more complex, we will ask you to return for another consultation. One thing is for sure — you’ll leave knowing more about your oral health than you ever thought you would.

- Oral Cancer ScreeningAccording to the the American Cancer Society’s most recent estimates for oral cavity and oropharyngeal cancers in the United States, more than 48,000 people will get oral or oropharyngeal cancer this year. Their statistics show that these cancers are more than twice as common in men as in women. Our dentists and hygienists are highly-trained and experienced in recognizing the earliest signs of cancer, usually before you ever notice anything has changed.
- Teeth CleaningOur hygienists are now using the PureVac Handheld vacuum systems to minimize aerosols created by the ultrasonic handpieces during dental cleanings.
- Fluoride TreatmentEvery smile can use a little protection. That’s why we offer fluoride treatment for everyone – young, old, and everything in between. Fluoride helps remineralize your teeth, protecting them from everyday attacks from sugar, acidic foods and drinks, and other damaging habits. Fluoride can stop caries and root decay in adults and protect precious little teeth from cavities. We even offer take-home treatments to give decay prone teeth even more protection. Call us today to schedule your next fluoride treatment.

- VeneersVeneers are extremely thin pieces of porcelain which allow patients to cover their natural teeth with a new, whiter and less worn surface. Veneers are custom designed in a professional dental lab to exactly create the smile you always wished for, right down to shape and color. We simply prepare your teeth by removing some of your enamel, and bond the porcelain to the front of those prepared teeth to reveal a brand-new, beautiful smile.

Crowns can replace and strengthen severely damaged or compromised tooth surfaces. They also work as an important part of a dental bridge. In either case, we offer CEREC same-day crowns. Patients enjoy strong, custom-made ceramic crowns made and placed in one convenient visit.
