Dental Exams
Performed as a part of preventative dental health care, we offer regular dental exams that are critical for your dental health. The dentist or hygienist will examine your teeth for cavities or gum disease after a proper cleaning. During this exam, your mouth is evaluated for risk of oral problems and can also include dental X-rays. During the exam, your dentist or hygienist may assess your current oral hygiene habits and recommend or demonstrate proper techniques for brushing and flossing.
Dental Cleanings
We do routine dental cleanings that consist of removing plaque and tartar buildup between your teeth and around your gum line. We do a toothpaste cleaning that gets a deep clean and removes any remaining tartar from your teeth. This should only be done by professionals and not at home as it can wear down the enamel when not done properly. We then perform expert flowing to remove any plaque from between your teeth. After rinsing, we apply a fluoride treatment that will help fight cavities for several months.

Crowns
For more severe cases of tooth decay, we use crowns to cover the damaged tooth. A crown goes directly over the existing tooth to protect the damaged area from becoming more damaged. Crowns are permanent and easy to clean all while keeping your entire bite functional.
Dentures
We offer denture fittings and then order custom fitting dentures for you. Dentures that are properly taken care of can last several years and can make you feel comfortable to smile again. We offer full or partial dentures depending on your specific needs.
Orthodontics
Clear Aligners
Some people need help with getting their teeth properly aligned but they do not feel comfortable with braces. In cases like this, we offer clear aligners that are designed to shift your teeth into the correct position a little at a time. Aligners can be removed to allow better cleaning of your teeth.
Braces
We offer traditional braces to correct overcrowding and misalignment of your teeth or jaw to produce an even bite and pleasing smile. Braces can be used to correct dental flaws in teenagers and adults. It’s never too late to get the smile that you love!
