Veneers - If you need to put the sparkle back in your smile, consider veneers. Chipped, cracked, or discolored teeth can be effectively masked with veneers, laminates, or Lumineers. Boost your self confidence and enhance your appearance with veneers because you deserve a reason to smile!

Invisalign® - If you want straighter teeth without bulky metal braces, consider Invisalign®. A series of clear, removable aligners will reposition your teeth without the hassle and pain of traditional orthodontia.

Oral Cancer - Oral cancer, which claims the lives of 8,000 Americans each year, is painless, sneaky, and often undetected until it has spread to the neck and lymph nodes. If oral cancer is detected in the early stage, patients are more likely to survive. Our office screens for oral cancer at every check up.

Bruxism - Some patients react to stress by grinding their teeth unconsciously during the day or, more commonly, while sleeping. The constant pressure and motion can harm teeth, as well as muscles and tissues in and around the jaw. This condition, known as bruxism, can be remedied with a nightguard.

Sleep Apnea - Are you tired, stressed out, and moody because of interrupted sleep? Sleep apnea, a condition in which breathing stops for periods of 10 seconds or longer, can interrupt the deep sleep that makes people feel rested. Non-surgical dental appliances have proven more effective than surgery for many sleep apnea patients.

Amalgams - You’ve probably heard some of the debate about using silver fillings, or dental amalgams, to fill cavities. Informed patients make the best decisions about their dental care, so you should know the truth about amalgams, as well as what materials are available for filling teeth.

Crowns - Crowns can restore tooth shape, structure, strength, and function. Many materials are used for crowns, so how can you know which is best?

Composite Resins - If cavities or dark fillings in your teeth keep you from smiling, consider composite resin fillings. By maintaining your natural tooth color with composite resin fillings, you can smile with confidence.

Oral Sedation - Among the most common phobias, visiting the dentist causes many people severe anxiety and stress. Oral sedation alleviates anxiety, so you can face dental appointments with confidence.

Gum Disease - It hides in your mouth, destroying gum tissue and teeth, and it can lead to strokes, heart attacks, and pregnancy complications. Don’t think it’s your problem? Conservative estimates report that up to 80 percent of the population unknowingly has gum disease in some form.

Periodontal Therapies - When periodontal disease is not treated, it will spread and compromise gums, teeth, bone, and it can lead to heart disease and strokes, as well as diabetes and pregnancy complications. Many treatments can reverse the effects of gum disease and restore oral health.

DIAGNOdent - Early decay detection with DIAGNOdent can give you the opportunity to deter or repair tooth decay in the earliest stages. Laser technology provides a thorough and comfortable method for finding decalcification and decay.

Digital Radiography - Digital X-rays offer unparalleled benefits over traditional radiographs: they’re convenient, safe for the environment, provide a great opportunity for patient education, can be transferred and copied accurately, and best of all, they’re safer for our patients.

Intraoral Cameras - People seldom have a clear idea of the actual status of their dental health. Even with lights and mirrors, a patient can’t see what the dentist can – that is, until now.

Root Canal - You’d rather have a root canal! Root canal therapy is nothing like it used to be. Many patients even take a nap during root canal therapy.

Dental Implants - If you’re missing one or more teeth, dental implants will improve your smile and your lifestyle. Dental implants look, feel, and function like strong, natural teeth because of a titanium anchor attached to the jawbone.

TMJ - TMJ disorder, or TMD, can cause mild to severe symptoms, from jaw clicking and minor discomfort to sharp pain in your temple, ear, neck, or shoulders. For patients who suffer from frequent migraines or facial pain, an evaluation will allow us to determine if TMJ is the cause of pain. Therapy, such as an oral appliance or deprogramming, can realign the bite and relive pain.
