- Teeth CleaningPeriodontal treatments are vital for maintaining healthy gums and teeth. These treatments encompass a range of procedures, including dental cleanings to remove plaque and tartar buildup, as well as more advanced interventions like scaling and root planing to combat gum disease, ensuring patients can enjoy a lifetime of optimal oral health.
- Fluoride TreatmentFluoride treatments, provided at our dental office, are a simple yet effective way to strengthen your teeth and prevent tooth decay. This quick and painless procedure involves applying a fluoride-rich solution to your teeth, helping to remineralize enamel and keep your smile healthy and cavity-resistant.
- Dental SealantsSealants are used to fill in narrow grooves in a tooth that cannot be adequately cleaned by brushing. In some cases, the tooth structure has fine grooves or pits which accumulate plaque, not because the person doesn’t brush, but because they’re too narrow to allow even one bristle into them. These will develop cavities over time, which you do not want to have. The dentist will brush on a coating that seals the grooves and pits, making it possible to brush off all the plaque and keep your teeth healthy.
- Fillings
- Resin CompositeThe direct technique usually involves placing composite resin on the outside of the tooth using bonding. This method is usually referred to as bonding.
- VeneersVeneers are a dental procedure in which a covering is placed over the outside (visible area) of the tooth. Veneers are usually only done to the part of the teeth that are visible when talking or smiling. The procedure can be direct or indirect.
- CrownsA: These are restorations to repair a severely broken tooth by covering all or most of the tooth after removing old fillings, fractured tooth structure, and all decay. The restoration material is made of gold, porcelain, composites, or even stainless steel. Dentists refer to all of these restorations as “crowns”. However, patients often refer to the tooth-colored ones as “caps” and the gold or stainless steel ones as “crowns”.
- Bridges
- Dental BondingDental bonding is a versatile cosmetic procedure offered at our dental office to enhance the appearance of your teeth. This painless and non-invasive treatment involves applying a tooth-colored resin to correct imperfections like chips, gaps, or discoloration, providing you with a more beautiful and natural-looking smile that you’ll be proud to show off.
- Root Canal TreatmentLimited root canals are a specialized endodontic treatment designed to save a tooth when the damage or infection is confined to a specific area within the root. Our skilled dental team performs these precise procedures to alleviate pain and preserve your natural tooth, ensuring your continued dental health and comfort.
- Deep CleaningThe gums, ligaments, and bone around the teeth form the foundation for ones teeth. All structures are also referred to as the periodontium. When the periodontium is not healthy, it jeopardizes the teeth just as a bad foundation would threaten the stability of a house. Signs of unhealthy periodontium (gum disease) may be as follows: gums that are red and bleed easily, persistent bad breath, gums that are pulled away from the tooth, loose teeth, and changes in the position or bite of the teeth. Any of these signs may mean something is wrong. With the proper care, however, it may be possible to return them to a healthy state. This is where appropriate gum treatments come in. If you’re having a problem, come in and see us so we can take care of it right away. The treatment usually involves a deep cleaning or root planing done under a local anesthetic, along with local antibiotic agents. If the gum disease gets too severe it may need to be treated through surgery or extraction. This is why it is important to get it treated at the first sign of a problem.
- DenturesDentures and partials, available at our dental office, are customized prosthetic devices that can replace missing teeth and restore your ability to speak, eat, and smile with confidence. Our skilled dental team ensures a comfortable and precise fit, allowing you to enjoy the benefits of a functional and natural-looking smile once again.
- Dental ImplantsA: Both bridges and partial dentures replace missing teeth. A bridge is permanently attached to abutment teeth or, in some cases, implants. A partial denture is attached by clasps to the teeth and is easily removed by the patient. Patients are usually more satisfied with bridges than with partial dentures.

- Teeth WhiteningOur office uses two methods: passive tray whitening; these are called NiteWhite, which requires a custom tray, or Opalecence, which comes pre-loaded in its own tray.
- Cosmetic DentistryThis can be anything done to correct imperfections in the appearance of the mouth. Anyone who is unhappy with their smile can have it fixed. The upper teeth show, usually, only when smiling, while the lower teeth remain hidden. This is reversed when talking, with the upper teeth remaining hidden while the lower teeth show. The color, alignment, spacing as well as regularity of the teeth are the characteristics that give the overall appearance. Any of these can be repaired to give a stunning look to the mouth.
