    Our full-service office offers a variety of dental procedures to help you achieve optimal dental health. Better yet, many can be completed in just one or two appointments.

     Cosmetic Dentistry 
    That tooth you chipped back in high school. Medication that darkened your teeth. A smile that’s worn down after decades of biting, chewing, grinding. Whatever the reason, cosmetic dentistry can restore you smile to picture perfect!
     
     Bridgework, Partials and Dentures 
    There’s no reason you can’t enjoy a beautiful, natural smile just because you’ve lost a tooth or two.
     
     Root Canals 
    Root canals do not have to hurt! We will gently and quickly remove the nerve of a heavily decayed tooth and replace it with filling material.
     
     TMJ Treatment 
    TMJ patients experience many symptoms, including:
    • Facial pain
    • Pain in the jaw joint and surrounding tissues, including the ear
    • Bite that feels uncomfortable, "off", or as if it is continually changing, limited ability to open the mouth comfortably
    • Headaches
    There’s no reason to live with this painful, debilitating condition. We can help alleviate your symptoms.
     
     Teeth Whitening 
    A smile that is less than bright can diminish your confidence and make you look older than you really are. A variety of procedures can give you a movie star smile!
     
     Crowns and Color-match Fillings 
    Who wants a "mouthful of metal?" Instead of "silver" fillings, we'll create one that's an exact match with your natural teeth — and virtually invisible. If instead, your tooth cannot be restored with a filling and needs a crown; durable, long-wearing porcelain crowns let you laugh and smile with confidence.
     
     Preventative Dentistry: 

    Preventative dentistry is the foundation of good overall health.

    Most responsible car owners wouldn’t dream of driving more than 3,000 miles before changing their oil. Yet most of us neglect our "3,000 chews" six-month dental exam!

    Why are regular dental hygiene appointments important for everyone? A dental hygienist will conduct a periodontal & gingival teeth cleaning to remove odor- and decay-causing bacteria. Your hygienist will check for decay using x-rays and a visual exam, and examine your gums for disease.

    Need more reasons?

    Oral cancer becomes more common as we age, particularly on the tongue, inside of cheeks and lips. Your hygienist checks for these conditions every time you visit.

    More than 400 medications can cause dry mouth, which can lead to tooth decay.

    In women, perimenopause can increase gum sensitivity, making them more susceptible to periodontal disease, which has been linked to an increased risk of heart disease and stroke, diabetes, respiratory disease and low birth-weight babies.
