The more time we spend on prevention, the less time you will spend in the dental chair. We develop personalized oral hygiene plans, including oral hygiene counseling. We offer products with prescription strength fluoride to help prevent tooth decay, and place preventative composite sealants when appropriate. Occlusal guards are fabricated to help protect the teeth, gums, and jaw. Most importantly, we promote regular check-ups as the key to prevention.

We maintain high standards of periodontal health through our non-surgical techniques. We offer an excellent recall system (periodontal maintenance) geared towards a patient’s individual needs. This includes a patient education program developed to aid patients at home. Deep cleanings (scaling and root planing), and placement of local antibiotics are performed by highly skilled dental hygienists. A comprehensive periodontal program is our key to optimal oral health.

Extractions of non-restorable teeth are performed when indicated.

Full or partial dentures are fabricated as a removable solution for replacement of multiple or completely missing teeth. They help to support lips and cheeks, providing a functional solution for tooth loss.

Dental implants are an ideal solution to replace one or several missing teeth. An artificial tooth is fabricated to aid in esthetics, chewing, and talking. They are also commonly used to support dentures, helping to improve the stability and retention of the prosthesis.

Titanium mini implants offer an excellent solution for stability, aiding in retention of removable dentures. Placed in the jaw bone, they help with improved speech, function, and comfort for denture patients.

We offer state of the art technology when taking intra-oral or panorex x-rays. Digital technology dramatically decreases the radiation exposure to the patient, while improving the speed and quality of the image. In addition to the intra-oral camera, computer generated images also aid in patient education.

We are educated and licensed in conscious sedation to help dramatically improve the dental experience for an anxious patient. Modern pharmacology allows us to safely sedate patients to insure comfort during dental treatment. What level and type of sedation are patient dependent, and assessed for each individual.
