Mercury-Free Dentistry

We understand your concerns regarding the use of mercury fillings. Accordingly, at our office we have elected to offer our patients the option of using new advanced fillings made of tooth-colored materials that contain no metals or mercury as an alternative to traditional silver fillings.

Sedation Dentistry

Wake up to a more healthy & beautiful smile with amazingly comfortable sedation dentistry. We care for patients who have these concerns:

• I’m afraid of needles & shots.
• I’ve had bad experiences before.
• I have not been to the dentist in a long time.
• I always gag when having dental work done.
• I just can’t seem to get numb.
• All my teeth are too far-gone.

Teeth Whitening

Now you can have significantly whiter teeth in a matter of a few days using advanced teeth-whitening techniques. Both comfortable & affordable, our teeth-whitening procedure involves you wearing a specially crafted tray for a few hours in order to achieve a surprising difference in your smile! More...

Digital X-Rays

We offer in-office digital x-rays for your convenience. Digital x-rays are computer-generated images. These images require up to 90% less radiation than with conventional film-type x-rays. Instead of using the traditional silver-oxide x-ray film that must be developed & then fixed in caustic & environmentally damaging solutions, the new system takes pictures via a small electronic sensor & instantaneously transmits a picture of the tooth onto the video monitor in the treatment room. Therefore, we can see your teeth & surrounding structures immediately. Feel free to contact us for more details or to make an appointment!

Orthodontics

Having straight teeth is important for both health & appearance. Not only do we have traditional metal braces, but we also offer newer, subtler varieties. One option is clear braces, which straighten teeth without calling attention to the fact that you have braces. Another option is Invisalign, a unique new treatment option. Rather than using wires & brackets, Invisalign™ uses custom-made, removable aligner trays that move teeth into place discreetly & comfortably. The aesthetic aspect is important because having a smile you love can affect your happiness & self-esteem, whether you are an adult, a teenager, or a child. To learn more about our orthodontic options, please contact our office today!

Periodontics

Periodontal (gum) disease can lead to more than just an unsightly smile — it can cause loss of teeth & eventually, if left untreated, serious health problems. Called gingivitis in its early stages, periodontal disease is caused by excessive toxic bacteria (found in plaque) that attack your mouth’ soft tissues. Early warning signs of this disease include red, swollen, bleeding gums. If caught early, we can help you reverse the damage. If detected late, we can use one of the many effective cosmetic dentistry procedures to restore your mouth to a healthy, beautiful state. Let our doctors help you keep your teeth & gums strong & disease-free with regular examinations & cleanings.

Veneers

Veneers are an excellent alternative to crowns & can perfect your smile by masking stains, hiding chips, correcting misalignment, & creating uniformity. Veneers, which are made of thin, customized material designed to slide over the teeth, look incredibly natural, are long lasting, & are relatively easy to apply.

Bonding

A smile can be dulled by stained, chipped, cracked or misaligned teeth, but bonding can quickly & painlessly restore your smile’s natural beauty. During the bonding procedure, a thin coating of plastic or resin is painted over the damaged teeth, strengthening them & making them virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth.

Restorative Implants

Do you have a missing tooth or a gap in your teeth that you’ve been meaning to replace? Dental implants are a comfortable solution that blend in with your existing teeth. In an individual tooth replacement, a crown is attached to your implant to make it appear identical to your other teeth.

Dentures

If you've lost teeth from decay, injury, or periodontal (gum) disease, dentures are the solution. Whether partial or full dentures, they're essential not only to your aesthetics, but also to your oral health. In addition to allowing you to eat as if you had never lost your teeth, dentures protect against facial sagging that would otherwise occur & give you a more aged appearance. Dentures will also promote your natural speech. Denture maintenance, combined with a regular regimen of proper brushing, can guarantee you a comfortable, healthy mouth for the rest of your life. Please call us today to discuss the numerous available options in more detail.

Dental Implants

Dental implants are man-made replacements for natural teeth. The implants themselves are artificial tooth roots anchored in the gum or jawbone on which replacement teeth are permanently secured. Since implanted teeth are fixed in the mouth rather than being removable like dentures, they allow a return to the comfort & function of natural teeth. Increased chewing ability means you can enjoy more nutritious foods, contributing to your overall health & well-being. In short, dental implants improve the quality of your life. They can improve your appearance, boost your self-confidence, & allow you to speak with greater clarity. More...

Endodontic Therapy

With advanced & surprisingly comfortable endodontic therapy, you have an alternative to tooth removal whereby you’ll retain full use of your natural teeth. Endodontic therapy involves the removal of tissue from inside the tooth that has been damaged by trauma or infected by decay. After the pulp is removed, the pulp chamber & root canal system is cleaned, disinfected & sealed. Once a root canal is completed, two other procedures are generally needed to complete the restoration of the tooth. These are done by the general dentist. More...

TMJ (Jaw Pain) Therapy

Commonly misdiagnosed or overlooked, a subtle misalignment in the temporomandibular joint can be a common, significant source of head & neck pain. If you have frequent & severe head or neck pain, you owe it to yourself to investigate our doctor’s life-changing approach to correcting these TMJ problems. More...

Filtered Water Lines

We understand your concern about water quality & the importance of keeping you & your family healthy. For this reason, we utilize filtered water lines during our dental procedures. By filtering the water used in dental procedures, we are able to get rid of any substances that may compromise the health of our patients. The safety, health & dental care of patients are our top priorities. This is just another way to show how much we care!
