Composite Fillings
Tooth-colored fillings are like superheroes for your teeth, preventing cavities from getting worse. They blend with your natural teeth, enhancing your smile's appearance and feel. Say goodbye to metal fillings and hello to a tooth-friendly solution!
Dental Bonding
A versatile procedure that involves applying a tooth-colored resin to the surface of teeth, which is then shaped and hardened using a special light. This cost-effective treatment effectively addresses issues like chipped, discolored, or misshapen teeth, helping you achieve a more aesthetically pleasing and confident smile.
Dental Bridges
Restore gaps and replace your tooth or teeth with a custom made dental prosthesis permanently bonded in place.
Dental Crowns
Dental crowns make up an essential part of restorative dentistry, and can greatly improve the strength, appearance, and longevity of your teeth.
Dental Extractions
This quick resolution often brings an instant sense of relief, allowing you to get back to feeling comfortable and at ease.
Dental Implants
An Implant acts like a natural tooth root and is finished off with a restoration such as a dental crown to help restore the function of your teeth, look good and feel natural.
Dentures
A versatile and personalized solution for restoring your smile's functionality and appearance. Dentures can address various dental concerns, such as tooth loss, damaged teeth, and more. With their lifelike appearance and durability, dentures can regain confidence and functionality.
Root Canal
Root canals can be careful, quick, and relatively pain-free bringing you immediate relief and saving your natural tooth.
Teeth Cleanings
Professional teeth cleanings performed by dental hygienists help remove plaque and tartar buildup, preventing gum disease, cavities, and other costly oral health issues. Additionally, these cleanings leave your teeth feeling smooth, freshen your breath, and contribute to a brighter, healthier smile.
The importance of early intervention and routine care
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. We really want to see you smile. Your health is our top priority and our routine care and recommendations for early intervention come from a place of care and concern. Keeping your teeth, gums, jaw and tongue healthy right now and repairing problems when they first appear will mean much less discomfort and pain and fewer unexpected expenses for you. And that is what keeps our patients smiling.
Keep your natural teeth for longer
Did you know the most common causes of tooth loss are cavities for young adults and gum disease in older adults? Practicing good oral hygiene habits at home is a great way to keep your mouth strong and healthy and at your routine exam, we can detect the earliest signs of gum disease and tooth decay and intervene before they get worse.
Save your money
Routine teeth cleaning and exams are relatively low-cost and predictable expenses that can fit in a budget. Treatments for the earliest signs of tooth decay, such as composite fillings, also happen to be relatively low-cost and a good long-term investment. More drastic procedures needed to repair more serious health issues often come with a bigger price tag.
Don’t even think about it
One of the greatest things about optimal oral health is that you don’t even think about it at all. There are no aches or inflammation. No all-consuming toothache. You don’t have to worry about the food you want to eat or feel self-conscious about your smile. Well maintained teeth are naturally beautiful, comfortable and reliable.

Frequently Asked Questions
A routine check-up includes a teeth cleaning and an exam. Having your teeth cleaned and examined regularly will remove stuck-on-plaque and tartar that builds up even with routine brushing and flossing and will allow the dental team to monitor your general oral health with special attention to problem areas.
Leftover food particles, especially caught in hard to reach places, become a feast for the bacteria that live in our mouths. The bacteria multiply and produce an acidic byproduct that builds up on teeth and weakens enamel. Tooth decay can be accelerated with a diet high in sugar or acidic food and drinks like coffee or soda pop.
Some people are just genetically predisposed to have more cavities than others. For example, sometimes they are simply born more susceptible to cavity-causing bacteria or they have overcrowded teeth that are difficult to clean. The best thing you or anyone can do is to focus on having great oral hygiene and eating habits at home to stack the cards in your favor.
Yes. The best part about fillings is that they prevent further tooth decay and they prevent future pain. Getting a filling now is in your best interest while the problem is still small and easily managed.
Tooth decay can be prevented and sometimes even reversed with routine cleanings and fluoride treatments. Teeth that are showing early signs of decay can be treated with fluoride and composite fillings. A tooth that has become infected can still be salvaged with a root canal. Teeth that are badly decayed can be capped with a beautiful and natural-looking dental crown or resurfaced with dental veneers. As a last resort, teeth that are very badly decayed may be extracted and the function of your bite and smile can be restored with an implant or bridge. There are many treatment options available depending on your exact circumstances.
Yes, in fact, preventive teeth cleaning and routine exams are encouraged and completely safe. Advanced gum disease, or periodontal disease, has been shown to increase the risk of premature birth and low birth weight. It’s important to prevent the onset of oral infection and to treat dental symptoms that sometimes appear during pregnancy. Maintaining good oral health during pregnancy is an important part of ensuring your baby’s good health. In the event of a dental emergency such as an infection, treatment might be required. Elective procedures such as teeth whitening, however, should be postponed until after the baby arrives.
