Preventive
Care Services
 Consistent, rather than occasional preventive maintenance
is our goal for each patient. We always take extra time to
show
our patients the correct way to floss and brush (there
is a right and a wrong way!). We explain why consistent care
is
so important and make patients fully aware of the consequences
of neglecting their teeth. We explain how our preventive
care treatments work and why they are so important.
We offer the following preventive care services:
- Regular Checkups - includes cleaning/hygiene
and a thorough exam
- Dental Sealants
- Patient Education
- Snoreguards
- Nightguards
- Mouthguards
- Breath Treatment
Restorative Services
We try to be as conservative as possible when it comes
to fixing your teeth. We combine the latest in technology
with the greatest attention to your comfort. And
when we say comfort, we mean your comfort both during and
well beyond your treatment. Our goal is to provide
you with dental work that is durable, comfortable
and
aesthetically pleasing.

- Tooth Colored Fillings - we use only the latest and
best made materials

Gum Disease
75% of adult tooth loss is caused by gum disease and
at least 80% of the population has some degree of
gum disease. This disease is an infection
of the gums and jawbones and is caused by the colonization
of bacteria underneath the tartar on your teeth. Often
there are no noticeable symptoms for a long time. A
dentist or hygienist must do a thorough and complete
examination
to detect gum disease, especially in its early stages.
Bacteria and the chemical by-products that the body
uses to fight these bacteria can enter the blood
stream and
cause serious problems in distant parts of the body.
In fact, gum disease has been linked to heart disease,
stroke, diabetes, pre-mature births, and low birth weight.
We take a proactive and comprehensive approach to providing
gum therapy by providing the following services:
- Charting and Diagnostic Services
- In-office Gum Therapy - scaling and root planing
- Deep Cleaning and Irrigation - to further combat bacteria,
we use an anti-bacterial agent before, during,
and after this procedure
Cosmetic Services
 Enhancing a healthy smile (and your mouth needs to be
healthy before we can enhance it!) is a worthy and
long-term investment in yourself. There are a number
of ways in which we can help you achieve your goals.
To find the best solution for you, we discuss your goals
for improvement, show you before and after photos, review
photos of your smile, and then make customized models.
We offer the following cosmetic services:
- Tooth Colored Fillings
- Porcelain Veneers
- Whitening or Bleaching - in-office or at home
- Bonding
- All Porcelain Crowns, Onlays and Inlays
- Recontouring
