• Oral Exam

  A comprehensive oral exam is an extensive evaluation and the recording of all extraoral, intraoral and soft tissues of the mouth. A comprehensive exam lays the foundation for the “routine (periodic) oral exam” and is much more than just a cleaning. The mouth is really a window into the body.  Medical conditions may be discovered by a comprehensive dental exam before symptoms show up elsewhere in the body. 

  X-Rays

  Dental X-ray examinations provide valuable information that helps your dentist evaluate your oral health. With the help of radiographs (the term for pictures taken with X-rays), your dentist can look at what is happening beneath the surface of your teeth and gums. In our office we have the latest digital X-Ray technology of minimum radiation. In addition to intraoral radiographs, we provide extraoral panoramic and cephalometric images. If you have questions about your dental X-ray exam, talk with your dentist.

• Teeth Cleaning

  A clean, healthy mouth starts with clean, healthy teeth. Regular cleanings help remove plaque and tartar build-up and prevent you from getting periodontal diseases.

• Fillings

  Restoration of lost tooth structure with metal, porcelain or resin materials. We are proud that we use only the latest technologies for fillings. Your smile can remain unflawed if you should need a filling. Let us take care of your cavities with our expert filling processes.

  Dental crowns and bridges are very popular among people of all ages, of either sex, and regardless of ethnic diversity. These are mostly cosmetic forms of treatment, covering unsightly teeth or replacing missing teeth.

  Dentures are removable (partial or complete) set of artificial teeth. Whether you have lost teeth due to decay or an accident, we can help you feel confident and get you smiling again with properly fitting dentures. Let us work with you to determine what method works best for you.

  , Dental Implants

  Sometimes, a missing tooth will create the need for a dental implant. A dentist typically uses implants replace a missing tooth or teeth. Dental implants are normally made of titanium at the root, with a traditional crown as the tooth itself. They are an excellent alternative to pulling several teeth in order to utilize a bridge or to get dentures. However, dentures can be made from implants, but can be quite costly without dental insurance coverage.

  – Treatment of Gum Disease

  It is possible to have periodontal disease and have no warning signs. Treatment methods depend upon the type of disease and how far the condition has progressed. Good oral hygiene at home is essential to help keep periodontal disease from becoming more serious or recurring. You don’t have to lose teeth to periodontal disease. Brush, clean between your teeth, eat a balanced diet, and schedule regular dental visits for a lifetime of healthy smiles.

• Pediatric Dentistry (Children)

  As the name implies, pediatric dentistry is the field of medicine that deals with dentists for children. A children’s dentist specializes in the care of a child’s small mouth and teeth, normally including braces, invisible braces, crowns, fillings, cleanings, plates, x-rays, and similar tools in everyday work.

• Orthodontics

  Orthodontics is somewhat similar to prosthodontics, since both use artificial means of replacing, repairing, or correcting the smile and jaw. However, where prosthodontics focus on bridges, dentures, and implants, orthodontics normally involves dental braces and similar features in order to do the job.

  – Braces

  Devices used by orthodontists to gradually reposition teeth to a more favorable alignment.

Before After	What are the benefits of Lumineers? Lumineers are a really exciting and innovative invention, which can radically transform a person's smile and increase their self-confidence. A person's smile is key to the first impression they create and the way they interact in a social or professional situation; having an unattractive smile can make people very self-conscious about the impression they give off, so changing the appearance of their smile can really affect the way they view and feel about themselves. Lumineers are also advantageous because they can be fitted without a great deal of preparation, which makes the treatment both painless and quick. In just two appointments a person's teeth can be transformed into a radiant set of pearly whites. Lumineers are comfortable and do not affect the functioning of the teeth; the new Lumineers feel exactly like ordinary teeth and have no effect on eating or speech.
