Please let us know! We know going to the dentist can be an uncomfortable experience for some people. We are always mindful of the ways we can make the experience not just bearable, but relaxing, from the decor in our rooms to the friendly atmosphere we provide, to our numbing procedures. As Dr. Pinson often says, Snoring is the best sound I can ever hear during your treatment. It means youre comfortable.
A root canal procedure is performed to remove the decay in the inner core of your tooth and seal it up to prevent further decay. The procedure is likely happening in the first place because you are in pain, so know that a root canal is only going to make your life less painful. Weve found that the discomfort of a root canal is no worse than what you would experience with the drilling and placement of a filling for a deep cavity.
Dr. Pinson and her entire staff will make your comfort a priority. Often, the numbing stage can be the most uncomfortable part of the treatment, ironically. Still, Dr. Pinson knows how to carefully and gently numb the area where a root canal will take place. And were here to help you care for your tooth and mouth in the days after the procedure for a healing process that is as pain-free as possible.
Fluoride is a mineral found in some food, often in toothpaste, and is added to many public drinking systems. Because fluoride is so effective in making your teeth stronger and keeping cavities at bay, youve probably experienced a gel fluoride treatment during a dental checkup. Children significantly benefit from fluoride treatments to help protect their teeths outer surfaces for as long as possible. Gel fluoride treatments involve placing a gel-filled tray against your teeth for several seconds and then avoiding food and drink for a short time to allow the fluoride to absorb.
We recommend a professional teeth cleaning and exam at least every six months, depending on your specific oral health standings. Regular dental visits help ensure your mouth stays healthy so you can enjoy a fully-functional and beautiful smile. Our professional dental exams and cleanings, performed by one of our expert hygienists and Dr. Pinson, helps prevent tooth decay, tooth loss, pain, infection, oral cancer, and more.
Yes! Whether youre looking for a quick solution, such as a recommendation for good whitening toothpaste, or if you are experiencing a problematic tooth or teeth that could use professional whitening, we are happy to help.

Should've made the switch sooner! Dr. Pinson is kind and encouraging and the rest of the office staff is so welcoming and easy to work with for scheduling appointments that fit your schedule. I'm never going back to the national 'corporation' dentist I had previously been seeing!

I absolutely love Dr. Pinson! I was so nervous about getting a new dentist when my previous one retired, but the first time I met her, all my fears were gone. She is so wonderful, makes you feel so comfortable, and has such a bubbly personality. I hope to continue with Dr. Pinson for years to come.

Always a great experience! Dr. Schanher can never be replaced, but I would say the same about Dr. Pinson! I've had more dental work in the last few years then I have my entire life. You are always made to feel important and that none of the issues you may be having are inadequate. Your pain is addressed immediately and you're always checked on after a major procedure. The entire staff is so wonderful! So kind and compassionate. I highly recommend this place!

I was very happy with my dental care from Dr. Pinson. She is very thorough with my check-up and very professional repairing two fillings. I was impressed that she explained she wasn't using epinephrine to numb me; and I was much more comfortable than before. We were patients of Dr. Schanher's for decades, and are so pleased he found such a good dentist to take over his practice.
