Preventative Dentistry
Regular checkups and cleanings take a preventive approach to your dental care, helping stop problems with your teeth, gums, and jaw bones before they worsen. During your visit, our hygienist will take x-rays once a year for the doctor’s review to ensure your oral hygiene is in its best state. Learn more about our full general dentistry services.
Composite Fillings
If decay is found during your preventative visit, our doctors can place composite fillings to treat problems like tooth decay or cracks. A composite filling is tooth-colored and restores decayed teeth, and this procedure is also used for cosmetic improvements by fixing discoloration or reshaping disfigured teeth.
Crowns, Implant Crowns, and Bridges
A dental crown is made to look and feel like a natural tooth while supporting and protecting the underlying tooth structure, and can be made from porcelain or gold. Crowns may be needed to replace large fillings or restore a tooth after a root canal. A bridge can replace a missing tooth, and implant crowns restore a tooth after a dental implant has been placed by an oral surgeon. We use new Prime Scan technology in the office that replaces dental impressions with digital scans for a smoother process and quicker turnaround. Explore more restorative dentistry options.
Partials and Dentures
Denture Description
Partial Description
Extractions
A tooth extraction is needed when there’s too much decay for a tooth to be restored, or for a cracked or fractured tooth, an abscessed tooth, or crowding. Our doctors perform extractions on both primary and permanent teeth, including erupted wisdom teeth. We know this can feel like a scary process, so we’ll walk you through pre-operative and post-operative instructions to prepare you for your procedure and recovery, and we’ll make sure you’re comfortable and have all your questions answered along the way.

Sealants
When we apply a dental sealant, we paint a protective coating on top of your teeth. This smooths out the rough edges, depressions, and grooves commonly found on teeth, essentially acting as a protective coating against tooth decay and cavities.
Teeth Whitening
A brighter, whiter smile is one of the most common requests we receive, and we offer several options to help you get there. Certain foods and beverages stain the teeth and contribute to discoloration over time, and our whitening options lighten the shade of your teeth to give you a noticeably brighter smile. Ask your dental assistant or doctor which option is the best fit for you.

Occlusal Guards
An occlusal guard can help manage TMJ pain, teeth grinding, and clenching. We offer a variety of guard types depending on the severity of your symptoms, with options made in-house for minor issues and lab-made guards for more severe cases.
SureSmile Clear Aligners
SureSmile is offered for patients with minor orthodontic needs. At your initial ortho records appointment, we’ll take scans and photos and send them to the SureSmile lab to build a treatment plan tailored to your smile. Ask your assistant at your next visit for more information and to see if you’re a candidate.
