- Dental ExaminationRegular dental exams are important because neglecting dental conditions can lead to much more serious problems, such as—
- X-raysTo determine if an implant is right for you, we do a thorough examination. The examination includes recording your medical history in which we discuss any condition that may interfere with healing. We perform a visual examination to check the health of your teeth and gums. To check the health of your jawbone, we take panoramic x-rays and possible CT (computerized tomography) scans. We take impressions and bite registrations to create an accurate model of your mouth.
- Teeth Cleaning
- Fluoride TreatmentYour new smile will lighten, on average, 6 to 10 shades. We may sometimes recommend a fluoride treatment, additional bleaching at home, or another session here in our office. We’ll also give you instructions for taking care of your new smile and for handling any post-whitening sensitivity.
- Fillings
- Resin CompositeWhen a tooth has decay and needs a restoration, a composite resin filling can be an effective, good-looking choice. Composite is a material composed of a synthetic resin that has small glass or ceramic particles in it. These particles give it natural tooth colors.
- VeneersVeneers are thin shells of porcelain that are bonded to the front of your teeth. They can be a great choice to improve teeth that are stained, crooked, worn, or have gaps.
- CrownsOur current office is equipped with state of the art dental equipment and digital x-ray systems. We have just incorporated single appointment crowns into our practice. There are eight treatment rooms and we have three registered dental hygienists to serve you efficiently and professionally.
- Bridges
- Dental Bonding
- Root Canal TreatmentTeeth also lose strength when tooth structure is lost, such as with large fillings and root canal therapy. Chewing on ice, popcorn kernels, hard candy, and other hard objects can weaken teeth, and these habits can fracture teeth that are already weak. And finally, teeth can crack or fracture because of an injury or accident.
- DenturesAn implant can support a variety of restorations, such as a single crown, multi-unit bridges, and full arch dentures. Some restorations, like a single crown and most bridges, are not removable. Others, like many full-arch dentures, can be removed for sleeping and cleaning.
- Dental ImplantsA dental implant is an excellent treatment for replacing missing teeth. A root form implant is the most common kind of dental implant. It is a small, titanium post that replaces the roots of a missing tooth. A custom-fitted artificial tooth, called a restoration, is secured to the implant, which holds the restoration firmly in place.

- Teeth WhiteningA special light is shined onto the teeth after they have been coated with a whitening gel. The light works with the gel to release oxygen. The oxygen penetrates the outer enamel layer and then the dentin layer of the teeth, bleaching away stains and discolored areas.
