EMERGENCIES

Dental emergencies are a fact of life. Whether it is trauma, neglect, infection or an unexpected toothache, we will take care of you ASAP. We have treated a wide variety of emergencies: from skateboarding face plants to imbedded popcorn shells and everything in-between.

Crowns

Crowning teeth is necessary to preserve the remaining tooth structure when a tooth has been severely compromised due to decay or fracture. We offer all ceramic, full gold crowns or ceramic fused to gold crown. We will choose whatever is best for you.

Bridges

A permanently cemented bridge is a fantastic way to replace single or multiple missing teeth. It is NOT removable. Once in place you only have to think about it when you brush and floss.

Implant Restorations

Implant retained restorations are a safe, effective and reliable way to replace missing teeth. Whether a single or multiple replacement, we will be able to discuss this as a viable option.

White Fillings

Esthetically, the white filling or composite resin bonding is ideal for replacing missing tooth structure due to decay or fractured enamel in a single appointment.

CLEANINGS

We use a variety of techniques to clean and polish in a timely manner: sonic scaling, air abrasion polishing and conventional instrumentation.

Oral cancer screening

Oral cancer is very rare but it is also very deadly. Every checkup and new patient exam includes an oral cancer screening. We will visually and tactilely look for lumps, bumps, anomalies, sore spots, irritations and pathologies.

Radiographic exams

The eye can only see what the eye can see. Radiographic examination is a must to find dental anomalies as soon as possible. Early detection makes the cure or restoration easier and less expensive.

TMD

Temporomandibular Disfunction can be managed in most cases.  Simple cases can be managed with bite splints and/or habit corrections.  In cases that are a little more complex, we can include occlusal adjustment, orthodontics, massage therapy, physical therapy and in some cases chiropractics.  Again… early detection is paramount.

Bite splints

Patients that clench and grind can break teeth and cause irreversible damage to their temporomandibular joint (TMJ); such as clicking, popping, pain and decreased maximum opening. We can save you years of grief and discomfort with early detection and bite splint therapy.

TEETH WHITENING

We use the Sheer White system. It is an incredibly retentive 20% carbamide peroxide gel strip. It is inexpensive, controllable and very effective.

PERIODONTAL THERAPY

Periodontal disease causes a permanent loss of bone and supporting structures for your teeth, causing them to become loose and fall out. It may be localized or generalized, early or advanced. We can treat and slow the process.

Extractions

In some cases, extractions may be the only viable option to bring a patient back to optimal oral health.  Atraumatic removal of the tooth or teeth is always our goal.    

Pediatric Dentistry

We see kids of all ages. You are never too young to start good life long habits. It is important to develop a healthy dental IQ and dental attitude as soon as possible.

FLUORIDE TREATMENT

The days of gagging on fluoride trays is over!! We now simply paint on a topical fluoride varnish that stays in contact with the tooth surface for up to 12 hours. This helps to remineralize and strengthen the tooth surface to help prevent tooth decay.

SILVER FILLINGS

We still offer silver filling for those of you that prefer the longevity and durability of metal fillings.  They are less expensive and stronger.  They can last 40 years or more.

Diet Counseling

The number one cause of tooth decay is what you eat and when you eat it. We want to help guide you away from some of these bad habits to safeguard you from these self-inflicted complications and ensure a strong healthy smile.

Tooth Brush Instructions

Most patients brush improperly and too quickly.  After 5 well spent minutes of hands on instructions we will have you back on track. The benefits will last a life time.  Best of all …. It is absolutely FREE.  Good oral hygiene practice can prevent a plethora of problems later in life.

Dentures

We only make custom fit premium dentures with triple layered cosmetic Trubyte teeth: One step at a time. It takes time and attention to detail to make a custom denture.

Partial Dentures

We offer both conventional metal framed removable partials as well as full acrylic, flexible base and clear clasped partials. A few questions and a quick smile analysis will help to decide what is best for you.

Cosmetics

When your teeth and smile look better, you feel more confident and better about yourself.  Cosmetic fixes can sometimes be easier than you think.

RECARE & PREVENTION

We like to see most of our patients for a regular check up scheduled between 3 to 6 months. Professional cleaning and examinations are critical to maintain good oral health for a life time. Smaller problems are easier and less expensive to fix.
