Education
Proper education is the cornerstone of oral health. Our team is committed to helping you learn about dental disease, prevention, treatment and restoration. We are more than happy to answer your questions and guide you in the right direction.
Comprehinsive Exam
In our office we strive to deliver comprehensive oral health care to our patients. It starts with listening and performing a proper exam and diagnosis. We examine the jawbones, gums, teeth, lymph nodes, salivary glands, and screen for oral cancer. This thorough approach allows us to create a plan that will lead to a lifetime of health.
Prevention
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure! We believe that if our team and our patients work together, we can prevent most dental disease. We create a preventive plan for each of our patients, tailored to your individual needs.
Fluoride
Fluoride is a great way to prevent tooth decay. It makes your teeth stronger and slows down the bacteria that cause cavities. We offer several types of fluoride treatment.
Sealants
Sealants are another great way to protect teeth and prevent decay. Sealing the natural grooves of the tooth prevents bacteria and food accumulation. We recommend sealants for most of our younger patients.
Sensitivity
Sensitive teeth is a problem a lot of people face. We offer toothpastes, desensitizers and varnshes to help treat sensitivity.
Diet Counseling
What you eat and drink can impact your oral health. We offer a diet assessment to find out if what you are consuming is aiding the disease process.
Cleanings
We offer cleanings to patients of all ages. We remove stain and tarter from the teeth using specialized instruments and polish them.
Periodontal/Gum Disease
Periodontal disease is a serious problem. It’s a disease that leads to bleeding, pain, swelling, breath odor, loss of tooth attachment, bone destruction, loose teeth and teeth falling out. Periodontal disease is a progressive disease that worsens over time, and once the damage occurs, it is very difficult to restore your mouth to the way it was before. This makes early diagnosis and treatment vital! We do periodontal screenings at each appointment, and do a formal charting once per year. We stay on top of your periodontal health! We offer treatment of periodontal disease and work closely with specialists to help you get the care you need.
Fillings
Fillings are done to treat cavities in the teeth. We use high quality materials that are very esthetic, matching the surrounding teeth.

X-rays
Dental radiographs are key for diagnosis, early treatment, and prevention. We use digital X-rays that deliver high quality images with low radiation. A lead safety vest is used when taking images. We also have a larger panoramic X-ray machine that views the jawbones, sinuses, wisdom teeth, etc.
Cosmetic Bonding
Cosmetic bonding is directly applied to the tooth to change the color, shape or contour. We use high quality material that is very esthetic.
