Education & Prevention
As a practice, we are true believers that preventative care and education are the keys to optimal dental health. We strive to provide “dental health care” vs. “disease care”. That’s why we focus on thorough exams – checking the overall health of your teeth and gums, performing oral cancer exams, and taking x-rays when necessary. We also know that routine cleanings, flossing, sealants, and fluoride are all helpful in preventing dental disease. Not only are we focused on the beauty of your smile, we’re also concerned about your health. A review of your medical history can help us stay informed of your overall health, any new medications, and any illnesses that may impact your dental health.
Uncompromising Safety
Infection control in our office is also very important to us. To protect our patients and ourselves, we strictly maintain sterilization and cross contamination processes using standards recommended by the American Dental Association (ADA), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and the Center for Disease Control (CDC).

We pride ourselves in providing the care you need to keep your smile healthy. To give you the best possible service and results, we are committed to continual education and learning.

Also, being members of various professional dental associations helps us to stay abreast of the changes and recommendations for our profession.

OUR SERVICES
Dental crown/bridge
A dental crown and bridge procedure involves placing a custom-made dental crown over a damaged or weakened tooth. This strengthens the tooth and restores its natural look and function. Crowns are typically made from materials such as porcelain, ceramic, metal, or a combination.
A dental crown bridge procedure is used to replace one or more missing teeth. Bridges consist of artificial teeth (pontics) anchored by crowns on adjacent natural teeth or dental implants. There are diverse types of crown/bridgework that we perform in our office, including:
Traditional Bridges: Supported by crowns on natural teeth.
Implant-Supported Bridges: Anchored to dental implants instead of natural teeth.
Traditional Crowns: Supported by natural teeth.
Implant-Supported Crowns: Anchored to dental implants instead of natural teeth.
Both crowns and bridges restore chewing ability and improve the aesthetics of your smile.
Whitening
Tooth whitening or tooth bleaching is the process of lightening the color of your teeth. Whitening is often desirable when teeth become yellow over time for several reasons and can be achieved by changing the intrinsic or extrinsic color of the tooth enamel.
In our office we use two take-home methods:
Custom whitening trays- These whitening gel trays are made and custom-fitted based on unique impressions of your teeth. You can keep your tray indefinitely, as long as your teeth stay in the same place. You will purchase whitening gel to use at home (it stays in the fridge) anytime you want to whiten your teeth.
Most people achieve the results they want within 2-3 weeks of daily use, although it may take 6-8 weeks for more stubborn yellowing.
Opalescence Go 15 or 20%, are prefilled trays that you can take home to whiten your teeth. They are a convenient alternative to over-the-counter whitening products or in-office whitening. No impressions or molds are required.
It is ready to use right out of the box.
The UltraFit tray conforms to any smile.
Available in 10% hydrogen peroxide (wear 30–60 minutes for 5–10 days)
Available in 15% hydrogen peroxide (wear 15–20 minutes for 5–10 days)
Removable Dentures and Partials
A denture is a removable replacement for missing teeth and surrounding tissues. Two types of dentures are available -- complete and partial dentures. Complete dentures are used when all the teeth are missing, while partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain.
Dentures are oral prosthetics that replace missing teeth and surrounding tissues. Partial dentures replace one or more missing teeth, while full dentures replace all the teeth in an arch.

Bite Guards/Bite Splints/Mouth Guards
A bite guard, also known as an occlusal guard or dental guard, is a removable appliance that fits over the teeth to protect them from damage caused by clenching or grinding (bruxism).
Purpose:
Bite guards serve various purposes, including:
Protecting teeth:
They prevent teeth from wearing down, chipping, or breaking due to clenching or grinding.
Relieving pain and discomfort:
They reduce pain and muscle tension associated with bruxism.
Treating TMJ disorder:
They can help stabilize the jaw joint and improve symptoms of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder.
Protecting teeth during sports:
They provide a protective barrier for the teeth during contact sports or other high-impact activities.
Preventing snoring:
Bite guards can open the airway slightly, reducing snoring in some individuals.
Porcelain Veneers
Veneers are thin, custom made casings that cover the front side of your teeth. Veneers are used to correct uneven teeth, worn enamel, discoloration, chipped teeth and irregular spacing. After a thorough examination of your teeth, which may include X-rays and taking impressions of your teeth, your dentist removes a thin layer of enamel from your teeth. Then he or she will create an impression of your tooth or teeth and send it off to a laboratory to create the veneer. While the mold is being created, your dentist may provide you with temporary veneers.
