We also believe in building a foundation of trust. This is achieved by treating our patients as close friends, which we feel is vital to our success.

For the comfort of our valued patients, weve built an office with a warm, inviting atmosphere. We are a team of skilled professionals who genuinely care about the patients they serve. Our dedicated team provides you with excellent, personalized care and service to make your visits as comfortable and pleasant as possible.

We provide comprehensive oral care for patients of all ages. We recommend that children should start their visits as soon as their baby teeth start to erupt. These visits will consist of regular cleanings while monitoring their teeths development and spacing.

Early dental care is a great preventative measure against problems in permanent (adult) dentition. We encourage parents to bring their children into the office to become familiar with the sights, sounds, and friendly helpers in our dental office.

Let us help your children learn the importance of optimal oral health from a young age. In some cases, we refer children topedodontists, who are specialists in childrens dentistry. We will help you make the best choices for your childs unique and precious personality.

Solea lasers are quiet, quick, and efficient. In fact, Solea performs procedures more expediently than traditional drills. Lastly, with barely a need for even a needle, youll experience the smoothest, easiest visit youll have.

As far as safety, these medical lasers are FDA-approved and have many years of service in the dental field. Currently, lasers can operate on bone, gum, and enamel. This simultaneously lowers the risk of complications and recovery time.

Same day crowns are of the same quality as traditional, lab-made crowns. These boast the same durability, beautiful aesthetics, and stain-resistance as enamel. With the likeness to teeth so apparent, theres no better option to improve your smile.

Lastly, the importance of crowns is rooted in restoring your functionality and performance while talking, eating, and other daily tasks. A part of functionality is your facial structure and profile, which crown procedures also restore. From bottom up, same day crowns and implants are a quick and easy way to improve the overall wellness of your mouth.

Anyone who has visited a dental office or other medical facility knows that x-rays are vital for diagnoses. However, many are nervous about the amount of radiation exposure they will face during their series of visits of the years.

These concerns were a primary reason behind the integration of digital alternatives into our practice. However, not only do these provide minimum radiation output, they provide crystal clear results far quicker than prior technologies.

Are you looking for clear aligners or braces to correct your misaligned teeth? If so, digital impressions are a far better solution than traditional methods. In the past, patients with a moderate to severe gag reflex would have difficulties with the mold. Now, with the assistance of computer software, your dentist can replicate your bite pattern non-invasively.

Our office uses a digital cavity detection device. It uses a harmless laser light to detect hidden decay. This unique instrument provides instant feedback on the health of the tooth. Laser cavity detection is an extremely important tool to determine what is not visible to the human eye. It aids in diagnosing hidden decay more accurately and confidently. This technology is very safe and completely pain free.

While dental visits require the use of multiple instruments to perform even a cleaning, you have nothing to fear with these pen-sized cameras. Small, discreet, and painless, these handheld oral cameras are a game-changer for dentists and hygienists.

The camera can rotate 90 degrees while zooming up to 100x. These small, powerful cameras supply real-time imaging while you're in the chair. Now, we can show you exactly what we see while youre in the chair.

Lastly, a common question on these are radiation levels. Unlike other forms of imaging and x-rays, these emit no harmful radiation. Patients are perfectly safe while they look at a nearby monitor, displaying their mouth.
