We want you to be entirely comfortable throughout your time at Elevate Dental, so we offer spa-inspired comforts to help you really relax. Warm stones and neck wraps take the stress out of dentistry, calming your nerves and helping you to sit back, relax, and enjoy being in our expert hands.
Elevate Dental uses the latest materials to ensure we provide the ultimate in dental care at every turn. That means no harmful chemicals, and instruments that are always cleaned with safe sterilization methods. We also safely purify the air in all our treatment rooms after each dental visit. We also use soft tissue diode lasers to perform non-invasive biopsies, decontaminate bacteria in periodontal disease and cauterize tissue during procedures. Lasers are also great to reduce the duration and severity of canker sores, ulcers or cold sores.
At Elevate Dental, we understand that the mouth is the portal to the rest of the body. With a whole-health focus, we can help you steer clear of the conditions that poor dental hygiene may cause like heart disease, high blood pressure, uncontrolled diabetes, Alzheimers disease and others. Let us care for your entire health by starting with your mouth.
When you or a loved one experience a tooth emergency, dont make an unnecessary trip to the ER. Turn to us instead! The team at Elevate Dental is equipped to handle your knocked out teeth, severe toothaches, dental fractures, or other urgent situations.
Ever since he can remember, Dr. Mike has wanted to help people. He originally planned to be a doctor, but he had a great relationship with his orthodontist while growing up, and he saw first-hand how happy he was with his career and his patients results. He also secretly loved attempting to fix his braces when they were broken. After working as a dental tech on an oral surgeons office and shadowing multiple dentists, Dr. Mike knew that dentistry was the right fit for him and the rest is history!
