General Dentistry
-
Good dental care starts with knowing what’s going on. Our comprehensive exams look at your teeth, gums, head and neck anatomy, and include an oral cancer screening. For cleanings, we use advanced Swiss-made equipment often found in periodontal offices to give your teeth and gums a thorough clean and help keep them healthy for the long haul.
-
Digital X-rays help us catch cavities and other concerns that aren’t always visible during an exam. We typically take them for new patients, every one to two years as needed, or when there’s a specific tooth causing trouble. Modern dental X-rays use very low levels of radiation, and a full set exposes you to less radiation than a cross-country flight.
-
When a cavity needs attention, we use tooth-colored filling material to restore the damaged area while keeping your smile looking natural. The material is hardened right away, so your filling is ready to go before you leave the office with no special restrictions on chewing.
-
A dental bridge is a permanent way to replace one or more missing teeth. It typically uses the healthy teeth on either side of the space for support, with a natural-looking replacement tooth in between to restore your smile and function.
-
No temporary crown and no second appointment. Using CEREC technology, we digitally scan your prepared tooth, design your crown with custom shade matching, and mill it right here in our office. Your permanent crown is made and cemented the same day.
-
Root canal therapy can save a tooth when the tissue inside becomes infected or inflamed. The damaged tissue is removed and the tooth is sealed to protect it from bacteria and further infection. We perform root canals on a case-by-case basis, typically after evaluating a 3D scan (CBCT scan) from our office and will help determine the right treatment for you.
-
Dentures and partials offer practical, natural-looking ways to replace missing teeth and restore everyday function. Our dentures can often be completed in as little as two visits, depending on the case, and we work closely with a trusted dental lab to get the fit and appearance right. Partial dentures work alongside your natural teeth to replace one or more missing teeth, improving chewing, speech, appearance, and balance throughout the mouth.
-
Clenching and grinding can put a surprising amount of stress on your teeth. Our custom lab-made night guards are designed to protect against wear, chips, and cracks while giving your teeth a little extra protection while you sleep.
We also offer sleep appliances that can address problems like snoring or sleep apnea. Evaluation by our dentists will determine whats best for you.
Clear retainers are a thinner material as an option to keep teeth from moving. Typically given after ortho treatment but can be an alternative from a thicker night guard to protect teeth from clenching and grinding.
-
Jaw pain and tension don’t have a one-size-fits-all solution. Depending on your needs, treatment may include a custom nighttime appliance or targeted muscle injections using neurotoxin, such as Botox, or lidocaine trigger-point therapy. A consultation helps us determine the best approach for your symptoms.
-
When damage affects more than just one tooth, full-mouth rehabilitation takes a bigger-picture approach. Using treatments such as crowns, veneers, or composite bonding, we can rebuild lost tooth structure, improve your bite and function, relieve discomfort, and protect damaged teeth for the future.
Cosmetic Dentistry
-
Veneers are thin, custom-made restorations that cover the front of a tooth to improve its shape, color, size, or overall appearance. They can be a great option for creating a more even, natural-looking smile while working with the teeth you already have.
-
Our at-home whitening treatment uses a 10% carbamide peroxide gel to safely brighten your smile while also helping disrupt plaque and bacteria. For best results, treatment is typically used for 30–60 minutes a day over one to three weeks. Whitening can also be used internally to brighten a tooth that has darkened after losing vitality. Ask your dentist if that option might be right for you.
-
A fun way to add a little sparkle to your smile! Tooth gems come in different colors and sizes and and semi permanently glued on with a safe dental adhesive.
Tooth gems cause NO damage to teeth and are safe to have in the mouth. Can be carefully removed by a dental professional at any time
-
A smile makeover brings together cosmetic and restorative treatments to create a smile that feels healthy, natural, and like you. Depending on your goals, your plan might include whitening, veneers, bonding, crowns, or other treatments. We’ll look at the big picture and work with you to find an approach that makes sense for your smile.
-
Cosmetic injectables can be a simple, subtle way to refresh your appearance while keeping results natural. We offer treatments including neurotoxins and dermal fillers to soften lines, restore lost volume, enhance features, and address both cosmetic and therapeutic concerns. We’ll talk through your goals and recommend an approach that feels right for you.
-
Clear aligners like Invisalign offer a discreet, removable way to straighten your smile without traditional braces. Using a series of custom-made aligners, treatment gradually moves your teeth into better alignment while making it easy to eat, brush, and go about your day. We’ll evaluate your smile and help determine if clear aligners are a good fit for you.
Dental Implants
-
A dental implant is a long-lasting way to replace a missing tooth without relying on the neighboring teeth for support. The implant acts as a replacement tooth root and is topped with a custom crown designed to look and function like a natural tooth. We’ll evaluate your teeth, gums, and overall oral health to determine if an implant is the right option for you.
-
An implant crown is the custom-made tooth that sits on top of a dental implant, completing your new smile. Designed to match the shape, color, and function of your natural teeth, it provides a strong, natural-looking replacement that lets you comfortably eat, speak, and smile.
-
An implant bridge replaces multiple missing teeth using dental implants as a stable foundation for the restoration. Designed to closely mimic the function and appearance of natural teeth, it can restore missing teeth without relying on neighboring natural teeth for support.
-
When several teeth are missing, an implant bridge can help fill the space with a stable, natural-looking restoration. Dental implants provide the foundation for the bridge, helping restore the look and everyday function of your smile without depending on neighboring natural teeth for support.
