Services
Dental Cleaning & X-Rays
Regular dental cleanings and check-ups help prevent and reverse dental concerns and/or disease such as gingivitis, periodontitis, dental caries (cavities), excessive staining, and tooth loss. During our cleanings, tartar and plaque build-up is removed, and x-rays are taken to ensure and monitor the health of your teeth and the bone surrounding your teeth. We recommend cleanings at intervals of 6 months – 1 year.
Fillings & Extractions
We provide filling and extraction services. Our filling material is matched to the shade of your natural tooth and are used to fill cavities or repair teeth that have been broken or chipped.
Teeth are extracted or “pulled” if the teeth cannot be restored.
Night & Sport Guards
Night guards are recommended for older teenagers and adults when they go through periods of high stress. When life gets stressful, we can all go through periods of bruxing. Bruxing means “grinding” your teeth. This grinding usual occurs during the night while we are asleep and can cause various problems such as tooth wear or breakage, and pain in the teeth or muscles of the jaw. Wearing a night guard can prevent these problems from starting or progressing.
A sports mouthguard is recommended for anyone at any age that plays sports. These guards help prevent damage to the teeth from sports related contact.
Polishing & Stain Removal
Ingesting some foods and beverages such as tea, coffee or wine, and/or certain medications can stain your teeth. We provide in-office teeth polishing and stain removal treatments to restore your smile.
Crowns & Bridges
A crown is a strong, protective covering made of porcelain, a mixture of porcelain and metal, or gold. They are fabricated to match your natural teeth unless gold is requested and are typically used on broken down or fragile teeth.
A bridge is used when there is a missing tooth or multiple missing teeth. There are two crowns (one on both sides of the space) connected by one or multiple “fake teeth” or “pontics” to fill in the open space and restore you smile and/or chewing ability. Bridges are fabricated from porcelain or a mixture of porcelain and metal to match the rest of your teeth for a natural look.
Children's Hygiene
Children’s teeth require special care. Bringing children to the dental office at a young age can help prevent fear/anxieties and provide a great foundation for dental and overall health. We recommend children of all ages visit us for routine cleanings and care. We offer FREE “rides in the chair” for children under the age of 5. This helps get younger children ready for dental visits before routine care or treatment is needed.
