Digital X-Rays
Digital X-rays provide several advanced imaging options designed to save time, provide clearer dental photos, and expose patients to less radiation than traditional X-ray technology. Patients are sometimes concerned about the amount of radiation they may be exposed to during X-rays, and we would like to assure you that digital X-rays not only put out significantly less radiation than traditional X-rays but also use a very low amount of radiation to begin with. Please discuss any concerns you may have with us beforehand.

Professional Cleaning
Maintaining your regularly scheduled professional teeth cleaning is vital to keeping your teeth and gums in top shape. The benefits include a brighter, healthier-looking smile, fresh breath, and a boost in confidence!
Professional dental Cleanings are an effective procedure in keeping the oral cavity in proper health and halting the progression of gingivitis or gum disease. During your cleaning appointments, we remove surface stains, plaque, and tartar from your teeth and gums. If plaque or tartar is left to build up on your teeth, it can lead to serious periodontal disease. Even with a proper home brushing and flossing routine, removing all debris, bacteria, and deposits from your teeth and gums can be impossible. So if you want to keep your smile, schedule an appointment with us! |
Periodontal Therapy
Periodontal disease or gum disease is the most common dental affliction today. It is an infection of the gums and bone that support your teeth and the number one cause of tooth loss in adults. Gum disease can advance quietly with few signs or symptoms in the early stages. Many patients diagnosed with this condition find themselves surprised at the silent damage progressing in their mouths.
In simple terms, consider the gums and bone around your teeth as the foundation where they sit. Just like a house, the foundation must be sound for the house to stand and last. While there is no cure for gums disease, it can be controlled. It requires a focused strategy, similar to managing other chronic conditions such as high blood pressure or diabetes. Our highly trained dental hygienists will provide the necessary treatment, including scaling and root planning, localized antibiotic placement, periodontal maintenance, and recommend effective home care routines for you to practice at home. Consistent and daily care is key to a long life with your teeth! |

Dental Implants
Dental implants are a permanent and effective way to replace missing teeth and fill the gaps in your smile. They provide the foundation for replacement teeth so you can feel confident in your smile and comfortable with your replacement teeth.
Dental implants are a good solution for you if you are missing teeth from periodontal disease or injury, wear dentures that are uncomfortable, or want to keep your other teeth intact. Implants are surgically placed in the upper or lower jaw bone and replace the root of one or more missing teeth and will hold a replacement tooth or bridge. |
Clear Braces
You may consider orthodontic treatment to improve your smile if you are concerned with crooked teeth or suffer from crowded and misaligned teeth. Misaligned teeth are not only less esthetic but can have adverse effects on your teeth and jaw function. Crowded teeth are also much more challenging to keep clean and can contribute to gum disease. Modern dentistry has advanced to allow patients to choose between traditional metal braces and clear braces to address mild to moderate orthodontic concerns.
Clear braces utilize sets of see-through aligners that are virtually invisible while in use. No one should be able to tell that you are undergoing orthodontic treatment unless you remove the aligners in front of them. Like a retainer, clear braces apply pressure to your teeth and encourage them to shift into a straight ideal position. Patients are encouraged to remove their aligners whenever they need to eat, drink, or brush their teeth. Patients enjoy the removability of clear braces; however, aligners need to be worn about 22 hours per day for optimal results. |
Night Guards
If you wake up with jaw pain, headaches, or facial pain, you may be suffering from bruxism. Teeth grinding, or bruxism, refers to excessive grinding of the teeth or excessive clenching of the jaw occurring when you sleep. Bruxism is usually due to tension, stress, and anxiety. Frequent clenching and grinding can wear down the teeth' chewing surfaces, reduce tooth enamel, and can result in cracked or chipped teeth, crowns, or fillings. Many people may not even be aware they are grinding or clenching their teeth at night until a visit to us reveals significant tooth enamel loss or damage to restorations.
One effective and non-invasive solution for bruxism is a custom-fabricated night guard. Night guards are made from a detailed scan of your teeth and sent to our professional laboratory to be fabricated from high-quality materials. When night guards are worn correctly and regularly, they will protect your teeth from further damage and eliminate pain. |
