Nothing matters more to us than the health and safety of our patients. To protect both you and our team, weve implemented the following steps into our dental offices protocols. If you have questions about how were making your visit a safe experience, feel free to reach out to us.
Before moving forward with any treatment plan, each one of our team members always takes the time to ask, Is this the kind of care that I would like to receive?

Teaching patients about oral health is an important aspect of dentistry, but so is listening to them. Do you have dental anxieties that you need us to know about? Is there anything about your oral health habits that youve been wanting to change? Are you dissatisfied with how your smile looks in the mirror? Whatever you have to say, well listen and work with you so that you can safely say that youre fully satisfied with your grin by the end of your treatment.
There are many options when it comes to cosmetic dentistry, but for the best results, we focus on more than just your teeth. We also consider the wrinkles that appear whenever you smile or frown, and we use dermal fillers and cosmetic injections as appropriate to smooth out the skin. If you have a gummy smile, we can remove the unnecessary tissue so that your teeth appear evenly sized. Its all part of our effort to help you create your dream smile.

Before you come to Infinite Smiles Dentistry, you can learn a little more about him below.
I have always wanted to be some form of doctor once I realized I wasn't going to make it to the NBA. Once I started researching the different fields, dentistry stood out to me. I love working with my hands, helping people, and making people smile. After I became more interested in dentistry, I remembered back to when I was in junior high and just had my braces removed. I had miniature side teeth and was very self-conscious about them. My family dentist had crowns made for me, and the feeling I had when I saw myself with my improved smile was amazing. I strive to bring that feeling to other people. Dr. Mark Gaches
