We
offer the full range of cosmetic
dental services including contouring or minor shaping of teeth ,
whitening at home or in the office, bonding with tooth colored filling
materials , veneers, crowns, and bridges in all ceramic materials,

The
state of the art in lost tooth replacement is now implant supported restorations.
Implants are proving to be the longest lasting restorations yet.
Artificial tooth roots can support single teeth or full arches and can
be removable or permanently cemented
The key
to good oral health, to keeping your smile healthy and beautiful is prevention. We will help you
to develop a personalized home care routine, have regularly scheduled
professional cleaning and exams, and provide the best, most effective
home care products at the lowest possible price.
Pedodontics, or children's
dentistry should be fun. Bring kids in as soon as they have teeth. Let
them get used to the sights and sounds of the office before they have
any problems. Get them on a good preventive program early. Remember,
90% of all dental problems from cavities to gum disease and even oral
cancer can be prevented.
Gum
disease is responsible for the most tooth loss after the age of 30.
Many people are not even aware they have it. Nearly all adults have
some form of gum disease. Periodontics
is the branch of dentistry dealing with periodontitis or gum disease.
We provide non surgical treatment for gum disease. The key to
controlling periodontitis is excellent home care and frequent
professional maintenance appointments. A home care regimen will be
tailored to fit your needs. Advanced cases are referred to a specialist
or periodontist.
When
disease or injury damages the nerve inside a tooth, it becomes a
candidate for a "root canal." If there is severe pain, minor treatment
is done to control the pain and infection. Then endodontics, or the root
canal procedure can be done painlessly in just one appointment.
We
provide all contemporary restorative
dentistry procedures. Both the traditional metallic and the newer
nonmetallic restorations are available. Fillings can restore smaller
cavities while larger ones require inlays, onlays, or crowns.
If you
have lost some teeth, we offer prosthodontic
replacements. Removable partial dentures are the most economical
option. Fixed bridgework is cemented permanently and requires a larger
investment. Implant supported bridges or dentures provide the most
secure and longest lasting replacements but with a proportionally
higher investment.
Oral surgery procedures
are a part of our mix of services. Single or multiple extraction's can
be done and temporary partial or full dentures can be placed
immediately. You never have to go without teeth. We have nitrous oxide
"laughing gas" and can arrange IV sedation if desired. Complex
procedures are referred to an oral-maxillofacial surgeon.
When
teeth are crooked, crowded or spaced, they can be aligned with orthodontics. Braces can
prevent or minimize developing problems in young children. Usually
braces are delayed until all the permanent teeth are in. Many of our
adult patients have braces to gain the straight smile they have always
wanted. There is really no age limit for braces!
