Pediatric Dentistry

We love children and have been treating families since 1982. Through advances in bonding techniques, we can now raise children without unsightly silver filings. If caught early enough, most cavities can be treated without anesthesia. Placement of sealants on emerging permanent teeth can also prevent potential cavities from forming. Our hygienists will be happy to explain preventative measures and sealants to moms and dads. 

Root Canals

No longer is the need for a root canal procedure the "horror story" it once was. With recent advances in rotary instruments and sealing techniques, most root canals are completed in one appointment with minimal post-operative discomfort. The need for a root canal is due to deterioration and/or infection of the pulp (nerve) of the tooth. This can be caused be deep decay, excessively large and deep fillings or cracked and broken teeth. Trauma to the mouth and face can also cause the need for root canal treatment. Extreme pain to hot or cold, pain while chewing and throbbing toothache are all symptoms that may be addressed by root canal therapy. We will also advise most teeth that have root canal therapy to be followed up with placement of a full or partial crown for long-term protection against fractures.

Restoration of Implants

While this office does not surprisingly place dental implants, we do restore them. Following a visit to an oral surgeon for implant placement, you would return to our office for proper restoration of the implants with either crowns, bridges or dentures. This is rapidly becoming the state of the art in dealing with missing teeth. We will be happy to discuss different implant options with you.

Porcelain Veneers & Bonding

Veneers are thin layers of porcelain laminated directly to your teeth, giving you an over-all "smile-lift" and a whole new, improved look that will last for decades. Bonding uses life-like materials to quickly and easily fill in chipped edges and gaps between teeth.

Life-like Crowns, Bridges, & Dentures

Crowns made of new, natural-looking porcelain and composite materials means there's no more unsightly metal margins at the gum line. New materials and more life like denture teeth allow us to fabricate dentures or partial dentures that look great and feel comfortable to wear. For those patients having trouble with retention problems, implants provide the best solution to retain a denture by either screwing directly to an implant or "snapping" onto an implant bar. We will be happy to discuss these options with you and work with an oral surgeon to plan your case.

Micro Air Abrasion Drill-less Dentistry

This instrument utilizes the same principles as sandblasting, but at a microscopic level. A small hand-piece discharges microscopic aluminum oxide particles at high speed to gently abrade shallow areas of decay in children and adults. The preparation is then filled with traditional bonding techniques. This procedure is also useful in gum-line cavities and to eliminate unsightly "white spots" from teeth. This is all done without the use of local anesthetics. No drills, no shots, no pain!

Cosmetic Services

Now you can experience the confidence that beautifying your smile brings. Advances in cosmetic dentistry now make it easier than ever to have the smile you always wanted. We can show you how we can improve your smile with many new and innovative techniques. Tooth whitening or bleaching has become faster and easier than ever before. Most people can experience 3 to 5 shades whiter using our bleaching techniques. Tired of the "metal mouth" look? New tooth-colored filling materials make it possible to replace old silver fillings with life-like materials that perfectly matches your natural teeth. Why not invest in your smile?
