Born and raised on his family's farm in Merry Hill, Dr. Farless learned many life lessons, including the importance of honesty, hard work, and determination.

The motivation behind this career choice was a deep desire to make a difference in someone's life by providing compassionate and exceptional dental care.

Our goal is for every patient to achieve an optimal level of oral health and a decay- and disease-free smile. We have a strong focus on preventive care and take a proactive approach to stop minor issues before they become a big problem.
Sometimes tooth decay happens, even with a great at-home oral care routine. When a cavity does form we'll quickly take notice during your routine checkups and get you on the road to recovery right away. Our tooth-colored fillings blend in seamlessly with your smile so no one will know about your fillings except for you and your dental care team.
It is a privilege to be a patient of Dr. Graham Farless and his amazing practice. I met my new friend and hygienist today. Her name is Addie, and she is wonderful! I couldnt be more pleased. Thanks for everything!
Sometimes removing a tooth is the only option for preventing further damage to your smile. Our team offers gentle tooth extractions for patients who find themselves needing a decayed or broken tooth removed. You won't even need to worry about a gap in your smile thanks to our restorative dentistry options for tooth replacement.
Bruxism, the grinding and clenching of teeth, often occurs at night when the patient is unaware of what's happening. If your dentist notices signs of abnormal wear on your teeth that correlates with bruxism you can be fitted with a comfortable nightguard to prevent further damage. You can also ask us about protective mouth guards if you or your child/teen participate in contact sports and activities.
Periodontal disease is the most common cause of tooth loss in adults. We put a swift stop to gum disease progression through periodontal therapy. This is a specialized type of treatment plan that involves a series of frequent deep cleanings to remove harmful debris from inside inflamed or infected gum pockets surrounding the teeth. For advanced periodontitis, we also incorporate soft-tissue laser oral surgery.
Professional dental cleanings keep your teeth free from plaque buildup that can't be removed with brushing and flossing. Regular six-month cleanings also give us a chance to catch those early warning signs of tooth decay, gum disease, and even oral cancer. As an added bonus, our hygienists will update you on the latest in at-home dental hygiene techniques and oral care products.
Wisdom teeth can cause painful jaw aches and crowding of neighboring molars as they erupt. Proactively removing wisdom teeth eliminates these common side effects and ensures your smile is healthy and pain-free. We offer wisdom tooth removal in-office, including sedation options like nitrous oxide or full sedation with a trained dental anesthesiologist.
Nightly snoring and daytime sleepiness could be signs of sleep apnea. Our dentists can assist in diagnosing your sleep apnea and offer effective treatment options. Patients with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea can find relief immediately with our mandibular advancement devices.
