Preventive Dentistry
Preventive dentistry helps to keep your teeth and mouth looking and feeling great, and prevents cavities, decay, and gum disease. We help promote good oral hygiene habits, and can identify issues early on to minimize treatment, and prevent costly procedures.
Dental Emergencies
A dental emergency can occur at virtually any time, regardless of how well you take care of your smile. Unfortunately, it's not uncommon for many of these emergencies to leave a patient in severe pain and discomfort.
Cosmetic Dentistry
It's not uncommon to be unhappy with the way that your smile looks. Years of neglect, stains and discoloration can truly take a toll on your confidence.
Smile Makeovers
A full mouth reconstruction, which is more commonly called a smile makeover, is a treatment that involves completely revamping a patient's smile.
Dental Crowns
A dental crown is a type of restoration that is designed to fit over a damaged or compromised tooth. If a tooth has fractured, broken or has been recently root canaled, we may recommend that it be crowned.
