Protecting your smile is a top priority, which is why providing all of our patients with a comprehensive checkup and cleaning is important on a routine basis. We can offer preventive strategies tailored to your lifestyle while using the latest technology and research to help reduce your chances of developing tooth or gum problems.

Routine care gives us the opportunity to provide conservative treatment options if disease is diagnosed in the early stages, which can reduce uncomfortable symptoms and costly treatments. Overall health can improve when your oral health is at its best. Since many health conditions have oral symptoms, we can help you achieve the best version of you by keeping these important preventive visits.

KOR whitening system allows you to achieve dramatic results by combining in-office power whitening with at-home conditioning of the teeth. This is a great way to prepare for an upcoming special occasion and can be easily maintained with at-home whitening.

The at-home whitening system starts with a creating a customized tray in the office. This reduces gum irritation and targets the whitening to the area where its needed. This method outperforms store-bought solutions due to the tray that is made to fit only you.

Your smile distinguishes you as an individual and can provide you self confidence to succeed in both personal and professional relationships. With the improvements in dental technology and advanced treatment options, achieving a beautiful smile is an option for patients of any age.

If you have answered yes to any of the above questions, a smile makeover may be right for you. Since each persons smile and needs are unique, please ask us to help review your needs, goals, and desires to create the best version of you possible.

Besides creating beautiful smiles, creating more harmony with the dental-facial relationship can be achieved by addressing deep lines and wrinkles in the face. The soft tissue that surrounds the mouth is just as important as the teeth for an attractive and confident smile.

Botox and Xeomin are derived from a natural and purified protein that can relax facial muscles by temporarily blocking nerve impulses, which leads to a smooth, natural relaxed appearance. The results usually take about 10 days to take effect and can last up to 3 months with zero downtime after the procedure.

Dermal fillers treat volume loss in the face that occurs when our bodys natural filler (such as fat and collagen) production decreases. Dermal fillers create nearly instantaneous results which will need to be repeated periodically to maintain the result.

*Treatment may result in temporary side effects such as tenderness or swelling at the injection site, which may resolve shortly. Ask your team about your expected benefits and risks specific to your situation.

When a tooth is affected by decay, there can be a range of options to restore the tooth to a state of health. This may include: fillings, inlays/onlays, and crowns. If you feel like you have an area of tooth decay which may benefit from a restoration, please let our team help assess an option that is right for you.

Tooth-colored fillings are bonded to the tooth after decay has been removed. This is appropriate for smaller affected areas and can expect to be replaced every 3-5 years depending on individual situations.

Customized and lab-fabricated filling that is bonded as a single unit to the tooth after decay or a small fracture has been removed. This is appropriate for a defect that is small to medium, and can be more conservative then a crown. These restorations can last longer than a filling if properly maintained.

A crown has a similar precision in form and fit as an inlay/onlay. This is an appropriate option for when a tooth experiences a larger area of decay or fracture. A crown creates a more secure result that appears natural in appearance and is provides structural strength for long-term wear.

Sometimes it isnt just a tooth problem that creates an imperfect smile. Misshapen or overgrown gums can affect the attractiveness of your teeth and smile. It is often used along with veneers to create a natural, symmetrical result.

Children should begin seeing a dentist no later than their first birthday. Not only are early visits important to prevent tooth decay, but monitoring growth and development requires frequent evaluation in the instance intervention is needed.

While childrens visits may be shorter than adult visits, early preventive visits build positive relationship that can result in a lifetime of oral health and result in less dental treatment needs over time.

Younger infants and toddlers may be positioned in the parents lap for a knee-to-knee exam while older children may gain independence and feel comfortable reclined in a dental chair. It is important to talk to the team about all preventive options for your child including: fluoride therapy, dental sealants, and a customized caries risk assessment.

Protecting your teeth from uneven wear or grinding is an important aspect of maintaining your oral health. Whether from grinding or unnatural tooth alignment, an aligner or sleep appliance may help reduce tooth wear.

Aligner therapy is a method of tooth straightening that can result in improved esthetics while improving your ability to cleanse your teeth. Tooth alignment can also reduce your needs for other more invasive cosmetic dental treatments (like veneers). There are several aligner options available if full orthodontic treatment is not an option. Ask our team if you think aligner therapy might be right for you.

Whether you need a nightguard to protect against grinding or your doctor has requested a sleep apnea oral appliance, our team can help customize a bite guard that is right for your needs that can protect your teeth against microfracture damage and reduce wear on your jaw joints. The custom-fit appliance is superior to store-bought solutions that are often bulky and if improperly fit can lead to joint damage.

Dental implants are often the best option to replace single or multiple missing teeth. After a tooth is lost, the jaw bone deteriorates leading to premature facial aging. Depending on severity, a missing tooth may also lead to other teeth shifting, difficulty in oral care and may limit dietary choices.

Whether you are missing one tooth or many, dental implants can help restore your oral health while placing the least restrictions on your lifestyle. A titanium dental implant stimulates bone support and reduces premature aging. The abutment and crown that attaches to the implant looks, feels, and functions like your normal tooth. A dental implant gives you the confidence to smile without worrying about destroying other teeth nearby.

We offer: single tooth implants, multiple tooth replacements, and complete smile replacements with implant-supported dentures. Since every persons mouth is unique, please call us today if you think an implant may be right for you.

While our team focuses on preventing disease that leads to tooth loss, sometimes certain teeth need to be removed. Wisdom teeth, extra teeth, crowded out teeth, or severely broken down teeth may require removal to restore your oral health.

Defects in supporting bone and supporting gum tissue can also compromise your ability to achieve esthetic and stable results if a tooth is lost during life due to decay, trauma, or gum disease. Once bone is lost, it never grows back. A bone graft can encourage your body to heal and preserve bone instead of losing the support forever. This is particularly important if you ever want to consider a dental implant in the future.

Nitrous oxide (known as laughing gas) is a colorless and odorless gas that is delivered through a nasal hood during dental treatment. While your mood may be elevated during its use, nitrous oxide is best known for relieving anxiety and reducing pain sensation during delivery of dental care. There is no advanced treatment preparation and you can drive yourself home after the procedure.

Oral medication can be used prior to treatment to reduce your anxiety before, during, and after a visit. This is best if you desire less memory of the entire visit due to anxiety regarding pain, sensations, smells, or noises. This option will require advanced visit preparation and requires a driver to transport you to and from your visit.
