Diagnostic and Preventative Services
Dental Exams
Regular dental exams are recommended bi-annually for most healthy patients. These appointments typically include preventive and diagnostic services such as removing stains, tartar, and plaque from the teeth as well as teeth polishing, cancer screenings, x-rays, and evaluations for gum disease.
Fluoride Treatment
Digital X-Rays
Oral Cancer Screening
Teeth Whitening
Sealants
Sealants are applied to teeth with deep grooves in them (both baby and permanent molars) to help seal out food and plaque. When sealants are applied to teeth, it creates a smoother surface, and acts as a barrier against food particles and decay-causing bacteria. 75% of dental decay begins in the deep grooves (also called pits and fissures) of teeth, which are hard to clean and susceptible to decay. Dental sealants help compensate for what toothbrushes can’t always reach, and both children and adults can benefit from this dental procedure. A sealant can last up to 10 years before it needs replacement.
Night Guards
For patients who grind their teeth while they sleep, dental night guards can help prevent further damage. Bruxism or the unintentional clenching and grinding of the teeth has many causes and affects about one-third of the population. With a custom-fit oral guard, you’ll protect your teeth, reducing teeth grinding and clenching.
Restorative Services
Bonding
Implant Restoration
Crowns & Bridges
Dental bridges are used if you have lost teeth due to gum disease, decay, or injury. Leaving a missing tooth unfixed can create larger problems for you and your dental health. Not only can shifting teeth look unsightly, it can also result in pain and discomfort. Bridges help close the gaps in your mouth while acting as and looking like your natural teeth. Bridges are permanently cemented and help maintain the positions of the remaining teeth.

Other Services
Nitrous Oxide Sedation
For patients with dental anxiety or discomfort during procedures, we offer nitrous oxide sedation to help you relax. This mild sedative is administered as a mixture of oxygen and nitrous oxide, providing a calming effect while keeping you conscious throughout your treatment. Effects wear off quickly, and side effects are rare, ensuring a safe and smooth experience.
Telescopic Loupes
Telescopic loupes are advanced dental microscopes that allow us to diagnose and treat dental issues with precision. This tool helps detect small problems, such as hairline cracks, areas of decay, or early signs of other oral health concerns, before they become serious. It’s a valuable tool for preventive care, minimizing the need for extensive dental procedures in the future.
Intraoral Camera
Our intraoral camera is a small, pen-sized tool that captures digital images of your oral structures. These images allow both you and your dentist to see a detailed view of your teeth and gums, making it easier to understand your treatment needs. It’s a powerful diagnostic and educational tool that ensures transparency and helps improve your oral care routine.
At-Home Whitening Kits
Want a brighter smile in the comfort of your own home? Our professional at-home whitening kits are tailored to meet your specific needs. Unlike over-the-counter products, these dentist-supervised whitening systems use safe and effective formulas to achieve noticeable results. With easy-to-follow instructions and custom-fit trays, you can gradually whiten your teeth at your own pace, restoring confidence in your smile.

With dentist-approved electric toothbrushes that keep your teeth and gums cleaner than ever, to cavity-reducing & enamel strengthening products for at-home use, we can guide you in choosing the best tools to maintain optimal oral health. These modern devices are ideal for reducing plaque buildup and improving gum care with less effort.
Fluoride & Fluoride-Free Treatments
Strengthen your tooth enamel and protect against cavities with our fluoride treatments. This quick and painless application provides an extra layer of defense against decay, especially important for children, teens, or adults prone to cavities. Whether during your routine cleaning or as part of a targeted treatment plan, fluorides are a simple yet powerful step toward preserving your oral health. We also offer Nanohydroxyapatite Varnish treatments as a fluoride-free treatment for patients.
Oral Cancer Screenings
Early detection saves lives. Our oral cancer screenings are a quick and essential part of maintaining your overall health. During this painless exam, we’ll check for signs of abnormal tissues or lesions that may require further evaluation. Regular screenings ensure peace of mind and help catch concerns at the earliest stages.
Night Guards for Teeth Grinding (Bruxism)
Protect your smile while you sleep. If you experience teeth grinding or clenching (bruxism), our custom night guards are designed to safeguard your teeth from excessive wear and prevent jaw pain caused by grinding. These durable, comfortable appliances allow you to wake up feeling refreshed, without risking damage to your teeth and gums.
