Through the years our loyal patients have graciously allowed us to not only provide traditional dental care and cosmetic dentistry, but have trusted us to provide the very latest and most advanced dental procedures as well. We are proud to offer BioHorizons conventional and one-piece implants. We are pleased to perform bone regeneration procedures for our patients that have been told they cannot have implants. Specially secured dentures using implants wont slip or cause discomfort. Sedation dentistry for the fearful patient.

I've never enjoyed going to the dentist. My teeth were in terrible shape, and all previous dentists I had seen were condescending and judgmental about the condition of my oral health. Until I started seeing Dr. Lynch at Creative Smile Designs... Dr. Lynch and ALL of the staff at Creative Smile Designs are very friendly and give care and concern on getting the patient healthy and on the right track, without judgment or condescension. They are matter of fact about the condition of a patient's oral health and lay out a plan to make improvements, both what they can do, and what you can do as well. Since going to Creative Smile Designs, I actually look forward to my dental appointments! I can't recommend them enough!

Wow, this is a great dentist office. I have some dental anxiety, but the whole crew was patient and empathetic with me. Dr. Lynch has a great sense of humor and is quick with a joke and a good laugh. Great people who make me feel very well cared for.

Was referred by another excellent dentist so felt confident before my first visit that I was visiting the correct dental office and this was proved the moment I stepped inside the door. Dr. Lynch and total office staff are awesome. I felt confident putting my full trust in all of them. I couldn't be in better hands. Office easy to find, is immaculate, very up-to-date, well equipped and the entire staff is friendly, caring, helpful and professional. Everyone goes out of their way to make you comfortable and shows genuine concern for the whole you.
