Clear Correct: ClearCorrect is an alternative to traditional braces. Using ClearCorrect our office can straighten your teeth using a series of clear, custom, removable aligners. Each aligner moves your teeth just a little bit at a time creating your new, beautiful smile.

Snap-On Smile®: Snap-on Smile's unique, proprietary formula of hi-tech dental resin make it very thin yet extremely strong. It fits right over your own teeth to give you a beautiful, natural looking smile—even if you have stains, chips, gaps or missing teeth.

Broken Tooth / Chipped Tooth: A broken tooth requires immediate attention. Our office can help you with the care and treatment of broken teeth.

Bruxism Appliances: Stress or misalignment of the temporomandibular joints (TMJ) can cause a patient to grind or clench teeth, a condition known as bruxism. Most patients experience bruxism during sleep and are unaware that they grind teeth. Bruxism can cause tooth wear, cracks, and chips; our office offers bruxism appliances to prevent grinding and clenching.

Caps: Many people find themselves with teeth that are no longer structurally sound. Root canals, lost fillings, decay below a filling, and chipping and cracking of the enamel are things that may lead to large scale defects in a tooth's surface. When the entire surface of the tooth is a problem, but the root system is intact, a cap might be appropriate for you.

Checkup, Exam, X-ray and Cleaning: Professional dental cleanings are usually performed by Registered Dental Hygienists. Your cleaning appointment will include a dental exam and the removal of tartar, removal of plaque, and teeth polishing. Tartar is hardened plaque that has been left on the tooth for some time and is now firmly attached to the tooth surface. Tartar forms above and below the gum line and can only be removed with special dental instruments. Plaque is a sticky, almost invisible film that forms on the teeth. It is a growing colony of living bacteria, food debris, and saliva. The bacteria produce toxins (poisons) that inflame the gums. This inflammation is the start of periodontal disease! Teeth polishing helps remove stains and plaque that is not otherwise removed during tooth brushing and scaling.

Cosmetic Dentistry / Smile MakeOvers: Cosmetic dentistry or Smile MakeOvers are terms generally used to refer to any dental work that improves the appearance of a person's teeth, gums and/or smile.

Crowns & Bridges: Crowns and bridges are two restorative techniques that repair damaged or missing teeth. They restore tooth function and appearance, and avoid shifting teeth which can happen after a tooth is lost. By maintaining or restoring your bite and smile, the effects of the tooth damage or loss are reversed.

Cosmetic Contouring: Cosmetic contouring corrects crooked teeth, chipped teeth, cracked teeth or even overlapping teeth in just one session. A few millimeters of reduction and a few millimeters of tooth-colored laminate can create a beautiful smile with no discomfort.

Cosmetic Dental Fillings (Cavity Correction): Advances in dental materials and techniques allows teeth to be restored with a more aesthetic and natural appearance. There are different types of cosmetic fillings currently available. The type used will depend on the location of the tooth and the amount of tooth structure that needs to be repaired.

Dental Implants: A dental implant is a titanium "root" or “pole” that is used as a support for the restoration that will replace one or more missing teeth.

Dentures / Specialty Dentures: Dentures are prosthetic devices constructed to replace missing teeth, and supported by surrounding soft and hard tissues of the oral cavity. Conventional dentures are removable; however there are many different denture designs, some which rely on bonding or clasping onto teeth or dental implants. Our office uses technological advancements to create dentures that are lightweight and mimic the look and feel of natural teeth.

Emergency Appointments: Dental emergencies arise when you least expect them. And while every emergency causes worry, knowing our office handles dental emergencies can help ease your mind.

Mouth Guards / Sports Guards: Sports mouth guards are resilient plastic appliances designed to cover and encase an athlete's teeth and the gums and bone that support them. When a guard is worn it helps to provide protection for the hard (teeth and jaw) and soft (lips, cheeks, gums) tissues of the mouth by way of absorbing and redistributing the forces generated by traumatic blows.

Oral Surgery: Oral Surgery is a recognized international specialty in dentistry. It includes the diagnosis, surgical and related treatment of diseases, injuries and defects involving both the functional and esthetic aspects of the hard and soft tissues of the head, mouth, teeth, gums, jaws and neck.

Sedation and Anesthesia: Our office is able to provide sedation and anesthesia during treatment if required.

Teeth Whitening / Teeth Bleaching: Tooth Whitening or Tooth Bleaching is ideal for people who have healthy teeth and gums but would like a whiter, brighter smile. Many teeth whitening systems are available, both at-home and in-office, including BriteSmile®, NiteWhite®, DayWhite®, LumiBrite™, ZOOM!®, and Opalescence®.

Toothache / Tooth Pain: Toothache or tooth pain is caused when the nerve root of a tooth is irritated. Dental (tooth) infection, decay, injury, or loss of a tooth are the most common causes of dental pain. Our office is here to help you if you are experiencing any tooth pain.

Tooth Extraction: A tooth that is severely damaged may need to be removed by extraction. Our office specializes in extraction, providing you with the safest, most comfortable care possible.

Wisdom Teeth: A wisdom tooth is any of the usually four third molars. Wisdom teeth usually appear between the ages of 17 and 25. Most adults have four wisdom teeth, but it is possible to have more. Wisdom teeth commonly affect other teeth as they develop, becoming impacted or "coming in sideways." They are often extracted when this occurs. Our office offers wisdom tooth extraction with an emphasis on quality and comfort.

Veneers & LUMINEERS®: A veneer is a thin layer of restorative material placed over a tooth surface, either to improve the aesthetics of a tooth, or to protect a damaged tooth surface. There are several versions of veneers including traditional veneers and ultra-thin LUMINEERS, which require no shots, no drilling of sensitive tooth structure, and no pain. Veneers & LUMINEERS are custom made to give you a beautiful smile.
