- Fluoride Treatment
- Fillings
- Resin CompositeA dental crown is a tooth-shaped “cap” that is placed over a tooth to restore its shape and size, strength, and improve its appearance after decay is removed, after endodontic treatment or to fix fractures/breaks. Crowns can be made from several types different types of materials; metal alloys, ceramics, porcelain, composite resin, or combinations of these materials may be used. In the process of making a crown, the material often is colored to blend in with your natural teeth. They are custom fitted to your teeth, the spacing and shape of your teeth will be evaluated to determine the crown’s fit. These crowns provide protection from additional trauma.
- VeneersTime- Unlike crowns and veneers, which require more time to prepare and a second visit to place them, bonding can be completed in a single visit.
- CrownsOnce your tooth is repaired, you will receive a temporary crown while your permanent crown is prepared at a local lab. The permanent crown will be applied during the second visit with a special type of tooth cement that bonds properly to your tooth. Crowns mimic your natural so cleaning habits can continue as normal, as well as, your daily activities with a more complete smile.
- BridgesA fixed bridge means that your dentist uses existing natural teeth on both sides of your missing tooth (or teeth) to help hold your bridge in place. Placing a bridge usually takes more than one dental visit.
- Dental BondingDental bonding is a less invasive and more budget friendly alternative to veneers. Bonding is a quick restorative procedure that can be used to fix teeth that are chipped, cracked, discolored or misarranged. This procedure, more often than not, does not require the patient to be numbed. The resin attaches to a lightly etched surface with the assistance of a bonding liquid. The resin is then sculpted into the desired shape and polished. Since there isn’t the need for the lab, this procedure allows your dentist to be an artist. They are able to use the latest nano sized resin materials to create a dramatic, long lasting and beautiful smile.
- Root Canal TreatmentWhen needed, a properly treated root canal tooth is the treatment of choice to save a tooth that would otherwise be extracted (removed).
- Deep CleaningWhat an amazing experience! I have dental appointment nerves but the were so kind and put me at ease through out my exams and educated me on what was going on and the next steps for a deep cleaning and my oral surgery consult. Everything was seamless with my x-rays. Loved their recommendations on the electric toothbrush and water pick. Brush your teeth! Looking forward to my next appointment so I can rock my smile!

- Orthodontics
- Invisalign OrthodonticsWhile Invisalign is really good at what it does, there are certain situations where Invisalign will not work very effectively, which is why it’s important to start your Invisalign treatment with a consultation with one of our doctors. During the exam we will determine whether or not you are a good candidate for Invisalign treatment. A key to remember is that Invisalign works for teens and adults. Kids that still have baby teeth, or adult teeth that still have to grow in a lot do not qualify.
- BracesInvisalign is a system to move teeth into a more attractive position without using conventional metal braces. It is a modern approach to straightening teeth, using a custom made series of aligners created for you. These aligners are made of clear, comfortable plastic that you simply wear over your teeth. There are no metal brackets or no wires to tighten. The best part about the whole process is that most people won’t even know your straightening your teeth.
- Teeth WhiteningTeeth whitening is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures there are. We offer two types of teeth whitening: Zoom (in office) and Nite White (take home). Zoom is applied by a certified assistant during a 3 hour procedure in our office. It’s perfect for our patients who want instantaneous results, on average you will leave 4-8 shades lighter. The Nite White take home kit allows you the convenience of daytime or nighttime whitening, even while you sleep.
- Cosmetic DentistryShort Answer, Yes! The concentrations used in cosmetic dentistry, bleaching agents have been shown not to damage the enamel, and there is no evidence of softening or stripping of the enamel. However, around half of patients will experience some sensitivity of their teeth in the days and weeks after their procedure. This effect is usually temporary and is largely believed to be caused by dehydration of the teeth that occurs during the bleaching process. The sensitivity-reducing fluoride gel that will be applied after your Zoom whitening procedure will help to counteract this, but you may also wish to avoid hot/very cold drinks and very sweet products for at least a week following your appointment.
