'I find it necessary to care about my patients overall well-being. As a family dentist, I care a great deal about my patients. My wonderful staff and I apply a show, tell, udo approach when working with children to relax them and take the fear factor out of coming to the dentist. We also focus on gentle dentistry for adults, believing in educating our patients.
As a dentist, I have the unique opportunity to affect people's lives on a daily basis. Oftentimes, people are afraid to come to the dentist because of a negative past experience. Many of our patients on their first visit tell me how scared they are. I take the time to address their fears and we develop a plan together for comprehensive dentistry. Dr. Guess

There are many different reasons that patients choose to receive Botox treatment, from wanting to remove fine lines and wrinkles to treating more severe conditions such as TMJ and chronic migraines. Botox can relieve any of the symptoms that make you feel less confident, and help you achieve a more youthful, radiant appearance.
Botox is a medication that can only be prescribed to you by a healthcare professional. It is used as a temporary treatment for patients between the ages of 18 and 65. Botox treatments are quick and comfortable, and within hours you will begin to notice a difference in the way your skin looks and feels.
Botox uses a special protein to block overactive nerve impulses, restricting muscle contractions. In doing so, Botox helps to relax the muscles beneath the skin, so that fine lines and wrinkles become less visible, giving the skin a healthy, more youthful appearance.
Depending on each individual case, the results can last between one and six months. Treatment is temporary, and once the Botox begins to wear off, the skin will return to the way it looked before treatment.
Botox is also used to relieve symptoms of TMJ, as well as provide comfort to patients receiving dental implants. In each case, Botox is used to reduce the amount of stress placed on the teeth and jaw so that patients feel comfortable and confident.
