A visit to the dentist’s office isn’t just about checking for cavities anymore. We’ve been keeping up with the incredible advancements in the field of dentistry by expanding our range of custom dental care services to suit your needs.
If you have any questions about these services, or any other dental procedure, our dentists and support team are more than happy to answer them. In fact, we encourage you to ask!
Fillings
Fillings are used to restore teeth with chipped enamel, decay and developmental defects. Composites (white fillings) are now utilized in nearly all areas of the mouth and can provide a cosmetic solution for teeth with small to moderate-sized stains or decay. Read more
Crowns
Crowns are a successful way to protect compromised teeth in the long term. For example, teeth with large fillings, cracks, and extensive decay benefit from crown coverage. As an added benefit, crowns placed on the front of the mouth can dramatically enhance your smile. Read more
Bridges
When a tooth is lost, a bridge can replace that missing tooth. With a bridge, the teeth next to the lost tooth are prepared for crowns. Another crown (called a pontic) is placed between them, creating a “bridge” over the missing tooth space. Read more
Implants
Implants are titanium posts placed in the bone. They aid in the long-term replacement of single or multiple teeth. Once the post has had time to heal with the bone, we place a crown on top of the implant. Implants can also be combined with dentures to give denture patients greater stability and an improved ability to chew. Read more
Root Canal
Root canals remove infection from teeth caused by decay or trauma. The purpose of a root canal is to disinfect the canals in the roots of teeth and seal them from future bacterial attacks. Because root canals can significantly weaken molars or premolars (bicuspids), we recommend placing a dental crown on top of these teeth to protect and seal the crown (top part of the tooth).

TMD/TMJ
More commonly known as TMJ, temporomandibular disorder (TMD) is a condition that causes one or more of the following: joint pain, muscle soreness, headaches, tooth wear and significant discomfort. Appliances, also called night guards, are a reversible way to relieve symptoms of TMD. A bite adjustment may also be utilized to aid in treating your symptoms. In rare cases we partner with specialists to find solutions for patients with more complex joint issues. Read more
Fluoride
Fluoride helps strengthen and protect teeth from decay, and can also help decrease sensitivity to heat and cold. We recommend in-office fluoride treatments for children and adults with active decay in the oral cavity, and can also prescribe fluoridated tooth for home use. Read more
Sealants
To help prevent childhood cavities, we recommend sealants for new molars in children aged 6-12 who are at a high risk for decay. Because the tops of teeth have deep grooves that are difficult to clean, the tops of teeth are usually the first site of decay in the mouth. Sealants fill in the grooves without having to remove tooth structure. Read more
Whitening
Dental Bleaching, also known as tooth whitening is a common and safe procedure in general dentistry. As a person ages teeth become darker due to changes to the mineral structure of the tooth. There are many ways to whiten teeth. Examples include at home over-the-counter products, in-office bleaching, and custom-tray at home professional whitening. All have been shown to be effective and safe. Ask your dentist what system would best fit your whitening needs. Read more
