Regular Cleaning
The importance of regular, thorough dental cleaning cannot be overstated. Unclean teeth can lead to tooth decay and possibly periodontal disease. Even with excellent brushing habits, plaque and tartar can build up on teeth over time. During a cleaning, the dental team will brush the teeth, followed by a floss to ensure the mouth is free of food or other deposits. Finally, you will receive a polish, leaving the teeth looking and feeling fresher than ever.
Dental Check Ups
Regular checkups that include thorough cleaning are among the best preventative measures one can take in order to protect their teeth. In addition to maintenance, regular visits allow the dentist to keep an eye on dental issues that could become severe if left unchecked. It is our goal to help you acquire and maintain a beautiful smile. You only have one set of teeth, work with someone who cares as much about protecting them as you do.
Tooth-Colored Fillings
In the case of moderate damage or decay, fillings can be an excellent option. In order to place a filling, the decayed portion of the tooth will be removed, followed by a cleaning of the remaining space and finally, filling. Fillings come in many different materials. If the tooth is in the front, or exceptionally visible, there are tailor-made aesthetically focused methods. If the tooth is towards the back of the mouth. composite fillings can be used and color-matched to the surrounding teeth, allowing for full smile restoration.
Root Canal Therapy
Root canal therapy is necessary when the nerve of a tooth decays or becomes infected, leading to extreme, unpleasant sensitivity in the tooth. The process is far more desirable than extraction, a practice that can lead to an entirely new set of issues. Root canal restoration returns full functionality to the tooth and is, in most cases, a lifetime solution.
Teeth Whitening

Namely, different foods and drinks have a tendency to stain teeth over time. Luckily, we can help you turn back the clock.

Dental Crowns
Crowns are employed in the case of significant tooth damage or decay beyond what is fixable with a traditional filling. A crown is custom made for the individual and fits over the entire tooth. The appliances can be constructed from gold, porcelain, or a porcelain-metal fusion. Porcelain is increasingly popular due to the ability to color-match the crown to current teeth.
