Cleanings and Routine Dental Exams
Preventive care is the core foundation maintaining both oral and systemic health. There is growing evidence linking oral health to overall well-being. Good oral health helps to reduce inflammation throughout the body as well as lowering risk of both heart disease and diabetes. Our comprehensive approach to your oral health seeks to help you maintain healthy teeth and gums as well as early detection of developing issues. Early detection and prevention can reduce the need for extensive treatments and enhance a higher quality of life. Our professional cleanings will remove plaque and calculus build-up as well as identify any dental concerns that may be arising. Our cleanings are tailored personally to your needs to support long lasting oral health. During your exam, our office offers digital X-rays to examine your teeth and supporting bone. Digital X-rays help to reduce radiation exposure compared to traditional film and allows for an immediate detailed result that is safe for all ages.
Implants
Losing a tooth affects more than just your ability to smile. It can ultimately affect your ability to eat, speak, and maintain a confident lifestyle. Our office wants to help you restore your smile, confidence, and function. Dental implants are one of the best replacement options available for what you’ve lost. An implant is a small titanium post placed within the jawbone to help mimic the root of your missing tooth. It provides a stable foundation for custom made crowns, bridges, dentures, or partials so that the end result can blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. Implants also maintain healthy bone levels, preventing loss of bone of the surrounding teeth so that your natural teeth can maintain a stable foundation. Find out if implants are the right solution for you. Call our office today to book a comprehensive exam so that we can custom tailor implants to your specific need.
Clear Aligner Orthodontic Therapy
Clear aligners are a great way to straighten your teeth without the need for traditional metal brackets and wires. Clear aligners are discreet and comfortable so that you can move teeth without the worry of people noticing or traditional braces cutting your gums. Each aligner is custom made to fit your unique smile and allows you to correct any alignment concerns you may have. Aligners can close gaps, fix crowding, rotate teeth, and improve your bite through sequential aligners designed to move teeth towards a desired result. Digital scans of your teeth will be taken during our initial assessment to create a custom aligner plan for your needs. Regular check ups throughout the alignment process help ensure the resulting smile is one you can’t wait to show off. Call our office today to set up your initial assessment appointment and see what a new smile can do for you.
Root Canals
Our office understands that root canals can be scary. But with the emergence of newer technologies and procedures, you can feel safe knowing that root canals can help eliminate the pain or infection you may be experiencing. Root canals remove the infected nerve tissue inside of the tooth, helping you avoid needing to have the tooth extracted. Common issues that necessitate a root canal are severely decayed teeth, broken teeth, large restorations close to the nerve, previous trauma to a tooth, or a developing abscess. Let us help you eliminate your pain, prevent a growing infection, and save your tooth in the process.
Tooth Colored Fillings
Bacteria are working day and night trying to find a home inside your teeth. Even with good preventative habits, sometimes they win the battle and a “cavity” starts to form. Early detection and treatment of these cavities are paramount in maintaining good oral health. Small cavities can be restored with our tooth colored restorations, removing the decayed portions and replacing them with material that mimics your natural tooth’s shape and color. No more metal filling replacements that are easily noticed. Smile with confidence.
Dentures and Partials
Losing your teeth can mean changes in speech, swallowing, and appearance. We want to help you regain your confidence and function by replacing the teeth you have lost.

Help prevent this damage with our custom-fabricated night guards. These devices provide a comfortable barrier to protect your teeth and reduce the associated jaw discomfort of clenching and grinding. Our digital scans allow us to tailor your guard to your specific teeth and needs, helping prevent damage and promoting muscle tension relief for a better night’s sleep.

Veneers are minimally invasive and allow you to preserve most of your natural tooth structure. The ceramic is bonded to the front of your tooth, allowing you to address your cosmetic concerns with increased longevity.

Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening in a dental office is a professional procedure designed to brighten your smile effectively and safely. During the treatment, a dental professional applies a whitening gel to your teeth, often using a special light to enhance process. This method can quickly remove and discoloration, leaving you with a noticeably whiter smile. Many patients immediate results, making it a popular choice for those looking to enhance their appearance.
Extractions
Whether it’s from trauma or decay, sometimes a tooth is damaged beyond repair. Perhaps your teeth are overcrowded and space is needed to help move your teeth into a more desirable position. Whatever the case, our office offers straightforward extractions to help reduce discomfort and prevent future dental complications. Failing to extract damaged or decayed teeth can lead to infections or damage to the surrounding teeth. Following your extraction, we will work to help restore what has been lost. Most extractions in our office are coupled with a bone graft to help rebuild and strengthen your jawbone to promote a stable foundation in that area. Whether we are preparing for a future implant, bridge, or simply trying to preserve and maintain your natural function, losing a tooth doesn’t have to result in jaw bone deterioration.
Sleep Apnea Oral Appliances
Recent estimates believe that 30-40 million Americans suffer from sleep apnea and 80% of them are undiagnosed. Sleep apnea occurs when the airway collapses during sleep, making breathing difficult, and resulting in mini “wake” events as your body tries to reposition to improve breathing. Repeated events lead to poor quality sleep that have many downstream health effects that increase the risk of chest pain, heart burn, hypertension, arrythmias, heart attacks, weight gain, and more. Most sleep apnea patients are treated with a CPAP machine. However, not everyone can tolerate wearing a CPAP throughout the night. This is where a dental sleep appliance can help mitigate apneic events. If you have, or think you have sleep apnea and are unable to tolerate a CPAP machine, schedule a consultation with us today to see if a dental sleep appliance can help you.

Accidents can happen at any moment and we will provide urgent care to help relieve any discomfort. Unsure if you have a dental emergency? Do you have a toothache that will not subside even with over-the-counter pain medication? This could be the result of decay or an infection. Do you have a tooth that has been partially or fully knocked out? This requires immediate reimplantation and stabilization. Have you broken a tooth or a filling? This could be due to decay or a weak tooth structure. Timely care is needed to help prevent further damage. Injuries to the gums, tongue, or cheek? This could be the result of trauma or an infection. Addressing these concerns before swelling occurs is important. We aim to provide immediate relief from any discomfort or swelling while helping to protect and prolong your teeth.
