Services

A healthy, beautiful smile is the result of quality dental care. From preventive care to restorative and cosmetic services, our patient services are designed to care for and maintain your dental health. We combine state-of-the-art technology with in-depth experience and skill to provide a comfortable, efficient, exceptional dental experience. Below is a list of the services we provide. If you have further questions about any of the services mentioned, call our office and we will give you the information you need.

Preventive Care Services

There are two important things to remember about preventive dental care:

  • Current research has now proven that your oral health and overall health are connected - this means that problems in your mouth can affect other important parts of your body!
  • It’s better to prevent problems before they get more complicated (and expensive) - if you come in for regular checkups, we can clean your teeth and look for cavities or more serious problems like cracks or gum disease. We can then treat these problems in their early stages.

We offer the following preventive care services:

    The longer you wait to fix a problem, the worse it gets. To put it another way, think of your regular checkups as the “5000-mile oil change.”

  • Cleaning or Hygiene
  • Fluoride Treatment
  • Regular Checkups
  • Dental Sealants
  • Patient Education
  • Snoreguards
  • Nightguards
  • Mouthguards
  • Breath Treatment

Restorative Services

We take a conservative approach and try to save as much of your original tooth as possible. We use only the finest quality materials and labs to provide you with restorations that are very lifelike, blending in beautifully with your natural teeth. In addition to being aesthetically pleasing, our work is comfortable and durable.

We offer the following restorative services:

  • Tooth Colored Fillings
  • Porcelain Veneers
  • Whitening
  • Bonding
  • All Porcelain Crowns, Onlays and Inlays
  • Bridges
  • Dentures and Partial Dentures
  • Root Canals
  • Restoration of Dental Implants

Gum Disease

We can’t do restorative or cosmetic work on teeth that are sitting on unhealthy gums.

Did you know that…

  • 75% of adult tooth loss is caused by gum disease
  • Approximately 80% of the population has some degree of gum disease
  • Gum disease is an infection of the gums and jawbones caused by the colonization of bacteria underneath the tartar on your teeth
  • Bacteria and the chemical by-products that the body uses to fight them can enter the blood stream and cause serious problems in distant parts of the body
  • Scientists have now linked gum disease to heart disease, stroke, diabetes, pre-mature births, and low birth weight
  • Often there are no noticeable symptoms of gum disease for a long time and only a trained dental professional can detect gum disease in its early stages

When you come in for your routine checkups we will carefully examine you for any signs or symptoms of gum disease. This allows us to detect problems early on and treat you with non-surgical therapy if needed.

Our in-office services include:

  • Charting and Diagnostic Services
  • In Office Gum Therapy
  • Antibiotic Treatment - a deep cleaning agent is placed in the gum pockets and around the teeth to further combat bacteria
  • Patient Education - important information about gum disease and prevention

Cosmetic Services

We understand that the key to any kind of cosmetic work is open and thorough communication. To that end, we tailor our process to suit your style. For example, some folks give us very specific direction about what they’d like to improve or change. Others just know they want to refresh/rework/brighten up their smiles and they look to us for recommendations. Whatever your wishes, we’ll find the option - and smile - that’s just right for you.

We offer the following services:

  • Tooth Colored Fillings
  • Porcelain Veneers
  • Whitening - Zoom II in-office treatment or take home custom trays
  • Bonding
  • All Porcelain Crowns, Onlays and Inlays
  • Aesthetic Recontouring - (reshaping your teeth through filing)

Patient Comfort and Technology

We know that some people are nervous about going to the dentist. And we know that pure knowledge, expertise, and dental “gadgets” alone are not enough to make patients feel relaxed and comfortable in the dental chair. That’s why we’ve assembled a group of team members that overlay their knowledge and experience with warmth and humor, compassion and caring.

In addition, any of the technology we use has been carefully researched and incorporated into our practice based on the direct end benefit it provides to our patients.

We utilize the following innovations and comfort measures:

  • Intra Oral Camera
  • Chairside Computers
  • Patient Education
  • Sedation Dentistry (oral sedation)
  • Nitrous
  • Patient Comfort Measures - (sit back and relax with DVD players and blankets)
  • State of the Art Sterilization Center
  • Distilled Water System
