Preventative dentistry includes any dental care that prevents future decay and harm to teeth and gums. Preventative dental care is a combination of routine cleanings, x-rays, and fluoride treatments, as well as discussing dental goals and learning good home care including brushing and flossing techniques.

Emergency dentistry is available to patients who have experienced a dental injury or accident, or are in severe dental pain and discomfort. The goal of emergency dental care is to get patients out of pain quickly and back to optimal oral health as soon as possible. Our staff leave openings in their schedules for same-day emergency appointments. In addition, our dentists are on call after-hours and on weekends to respond to emergency needs.

A dental crown is a tooth-shaped "cap" that is placed over a tooth to cover and restore its shape, size, strength, and improve its appearance. There are several different materials used for crowns and will be prescribed based on function and aesthetic.

Our crowns are made using local laboratories to assure the highest quality materials are being used to fabricate a long lasting crown.

Basic extractions are typically used for teeth that have been damaged by oral injuries, gum disease, or tooth decay. We will always try to save your tooth first, but sometimes extraction may be necessary. Restorative treatment, like a dental implant, a dental bridge, or a partial denture, can be used to replace your missing tooth.

Invisalign treatment is the process of wearing a series of clear, removable aligners that gradually straighten your teeth. No brackets and wires, and none of the restrictions that come with metal braces. In addition to aesthetics, Invisalign can reduce TMJ and migraine issues amongst other ailments. Come in to see how we can transform your smile to not only make your smile more beautiful, but also improve the function of your teeth. We include whitening as well as your first set of retainers when you start your transformation with us.

A denture is a removable replacement for missing teeth and surrounding tissues. Two types of dentures are available -- complete and partial dentures. Complete dentures are used when all the teeth are missing, while partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain. Advanced retention of dentures is also available using the most modern techniques with implant dentistry.
