Because composite fillings can be bonded to teeth they usually allow for more conservative preparations. When less tooth structure is removed, we are able to create smaller, more natural looking fillings than conventional amalgam (silver) fillings. The tooth-colored material is cured with an intense light and the surface is shaped and polished to match the rest of your tooth, rendering the final restoration smooth and virtually undetectable to the eye.
In addition to giving you the benefit of a cleaner looking and more attractive smile, whiter teeth can also enhance your confidence and self-esteem. A brighter smile can even lead to healthier teeth because when your teeth look better, you tend to take better care of them to keep them looking great.

If you are used to lengthy wait time in a room full of people, you will find our dental office very different. This is not because we aren't busy, but because we value your time and we schedule one patient at a time. We do accept and file traditional dental insurance but are NOT contracted with dental HMO's, also known as DMO's. We feel that this allows us to not only provide the highest quality dentistry, but high quality personal service. We are not aiming to see a high volume of patients. We offer quality, not quantity. This is why we have so many patients for whom we are not on their insurance list, but choose us as their dental provider because they value the level of service we try so hard to deliver with each and every patient.
Our dental team is fully trained, skilled, and certified to provide you with the expertise you deserve. We fulfill our responsibility to continuing education by attending dental conventions, seminars, and lectures that keep us up-to-date on the latest dental products and procedures. We are always looking for ways to better serve you and your family.
Our dental team is here to help you get the most out of your dental insurance benefits. We will accept and file any PPO or Indemnity insurance which are those that allow you to choose your dentist. We also have many patients who do not have dental insurance and we do have dental financing options that will fit almost any budget. We also accept all major credit cards.
