What We Offer

Comprehensive Dental Care

Basic Dental Health

Fillings — tooth-colored composite resin removes decay and restores affected tooth structure before it becomes a bigger problem.
Bonding — color-matched composite resin repairs decay damage, closes gaps, and adjusts alignment.
Non-Surgical Gum Treatment — deep cleaning and root planing to protect the gums, ligaments, and bone that form the foundation of your teeth.
Sealants — fill narrow grooves that brushing can't reach, preventing cavities before they start.
Digital X-Rays — 50–70% less radiation than conventional film, with sharper diagnostic detail.

Advanced Dentistry

Digital Scanning — the CS 3600 intraoral scanner delivers fast, accurate impressions for implant and orthodontic planning.
Crowns & Bridges — full-coverage restorations and tooth replacement in gold alloy, porcelain-bonded metal, or all-ceramic.
Dentures & Implants — including mini implants at 50–70% the cost of standard implants, used to stabilize lower dentures.
Root Canal Treatment — cleans infected pulp and disinfects the tooth canal to prevent abscess and infection.
TMJ Treatment — tooth replacement, repositioning, bite adjustment, or mouthpieces for jaw joint problems.

Adult Orthodontics

ClearCorrect® Clear Aligners

ClearCorrect is a clear aligner used to straighten teeth as an alternative to traditional braces — a series of clear, custom-made, removable aligners that gradually move your teeth into place.

Your records are sent to ClearCorrect labs, where a 3-D model and treatment plan are created. You'll see a computerized preview before your custom aligners are made. Each set is worn for about three weeks and removed only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. Treatment typically spans one to two years, depending on the case, and treats crowded teeth, spacing, overbites, underbites, and rotated teeth.

Available for teens and adults. Children lacking molars and seniors with complex cases may qualify after a consultation.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

A soft toothbrush with a small head is recommended because medium and hard brushes tend to cause irritation and contribute to recession of the gums, and a small head allows you to get around each tooth more completely. Scrubbing isn't necessary if you're brushing twice daily and getting professional cleanings biannually.

Generally, no. However, it's advisable to use a fluoride-containing toothpaste to decrease the incidence of dental decay. Beyond that, pick whatever tastes good to you.

Flossing once per day helps prevent cavities from forming between the teeth where your toothbrush can't reach, and it helps keep your gums healthy.

Both restore severely broken teeth by covering them after removing decay and damaged structure. Dentists refer to all of these restorations as "crowns." However, patients often refer to the tooth-colored ones as "caps" and the gold or stainless steel ones as "crowns."

A bridge is permanently attached to abutment teeth or, in some cases, implants. A partial denture is attached by clasps to the teeth and is easily removed by the patient. Bridges typically yield higher patient satisfaction.

Composite ("white") fillings bond to tooth structure, strengthen weakened teeth, appear more natural, and cause less temperature sensitivity. However, they cannot be used universally — severely compromised teeth often require crowns instead.

No. While most teeth that have had root canal treatment do need crowns, not every tooth that needs a crown also needs a root canal.
