X-rays
Oral Cancer Screening

Teeth Cleaning
Regular dental cleanings are recommended bi-annually for most healthy patients. A check-up typically includes diagnostic and preventive services such as removing tartar, stains, and plaque from the teeth, oral cancer screenings, polishing the teeth, x-rays, and evaluations for gum disease.
Fluoride Treatment
Fluoride is a natural mineral found in water and the Earth’s crust. It helps prevent cavities and hardens tooth enamel. For younger patients, they should receive fluoride treatments twice a year to help prevent tooth decay. Although fluoride can strengthen the teeth and make them more resistant to decay, fluoride alone will not prevent tooth decay.
Dental Sealants
Dental sealants are an effective, preventive treatment to prevent tooth decay. Your dentist applies a plastic film to the chewing surface of teeth. This creates a protective barrier on your tooth enamel and prevents food particles, plaque, acids, and bacteria from penetrating the tooth’s surface. Sealants can last several years before needing reapplication.

Fillings
Veneers
Porcelain veneers are custom-made, thin casings that are applied to the front side of teeth to correct discoloration, chips, and misshapen teeth. Like composite fillings, they are made with tooth-colored materials, and will look and feel natural in your mouth. Typically, a small amount of tooth enamel will have to be removed in order to fit the veneers onto your teeth. This makes the procedure an often irreversible treatment option, so be prepared for a permanent improved look to your smile!
Crowns
Like dental bridges, a crown may be necessary if you are suffering from tooth decay or experienced severe damage to your teeth. Dental crowns restore strength, aesthetics and function to your teeth by covering the remaining tooth structure. Crowns can be made from a variety of materials, depending on which part of your mouth is being restored.. Your dentist will work with you to determine which crown option best fits your needs.
Bridges
If you have experienced tooth loss related to decay, injury or gum disease, dental bridges may provide a good restorative option. Missing teeth can cause greater problems for your health if not corrected. Dental bridges prevent teeth from shifting, and keeps them from looking unsightly. Dental bridges are permanently cemented in your mouth and help maintain the positioning of your teeth. With the right level of care, a dental bridge can last for 8 to 10 years.
Dental Bonding
Cosmetic bonding provides a way to correct chipped or misaligned teeth, Using a liquid resin, the surface of your tooth is rebuilt and reshaped. This procedure can be completed within one office visit. It is an affordable alternative to porcelain veneers. With proper dental care, cosmetic bonding can last 3 to 5 years.
Restorative Dentistry

Dentures
For patients missing most or all of their teeth, full dentures are a great option. Partial dentures are used for patients who still retain some of their natural teeth. Dentures provide you with a way to restore a natural looking, and healthy functional smile.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral Surgery
Laser dentistry refers to a dental procedure that involves the use of a laser. There are a variety of laser dentistry treatments, both to restore function and aesthetics to a patient’s smile. Common laser treatments include treatment for gum disease, oral surgery, teeth whitening, and cavity treatment. Laser treatments provide you with a reduced need for anesthesia, minimal bleeding, and controlled swelling.
Tooth Extractions

Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening is one of the simplest and easiest ways to rejuvenate your smile. Our in-office whitening system is powerful and as convenient as an at-home whitening kit.
