General Dentistry

This branch of dental care comprises services to promote and maintain oral health, including the following:

Tooth Extractions: When teeth are overcrowded, impacted, or broken, they may need to be removed. We offer pain-free, sedation dentistry to make your experience as pleasant as possible.
Periodontal Therapy: Focuses on preventing and treating gum disease with antibiotics and deep gum cleaning to remove plaque and tartar.
Teeth Whitening: For patients with already healthy smiles, whitening procedures can help them achieve the smile they want, leaving them feeling more confident in their appearance.
Porcelain Veneers: Sometimes otherwise healthy teeth have cracks, chips, stains, or other imperfections that benefit from a protective, custom-made “shield” that fits over the tooth’s surface, preventing further damage and resisting stains.
Tooth Colored Fillings: We proudly offer white composite fillings when a cavity repair is necessary.
Amalgam Filling Replacement (Mercury-Free): We have the equipment to safely remove and replace amalgam fillings with composite fillings for your improved oral and overall health.

Preventive Dentistry

This branch of dental care focuses on services that help prevent dental problems, complications, and oral disease. It includes the following procedures:

Routine Oral Exams: These are typically scheduled twice each year and your dentist will note changes, check for signs of oral cancer, and assess overall tooth and gum health.
Regular Cleanings: During routine professional cleanings, plague, tartar, and stains will be scraped and polished away, leaving you with clean, fresh teeth and a glowing smile.
Yearly X-Rays: Offer a closer look to identify issues that might not be visible to the naked eye and also help catch signs of problems early, making treatment possible and more manageable.
