Teeth Whitening
Popular, safe, and effective, teeth whitening can makeover your image in about an hour. If you want a reason to smile, consider in-office professional teeth whitening for a brighter smile.

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!

Lumineers
Are you hesitant about porcelain veneers because of the necessary tooth reduction prior to placement? Lumineers require minimal, if any, tooth reduction, and they accomplish the same bright, full, straight smile that traditional veneers create.

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.

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 culor with composite resin fillings, you can smile 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 technulogy provides a thorough and comfortable method for finding decalcification and decay.

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.

X-Rays
See through dental X-rays concerns to learn the truth behind the myths.

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.

Fixed Bridges
If you’ve lost teeth due to accident, injury, or gum disease, we can create a fixed bridge to restore your sulid smile.
Learn more >


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 TMD is the cause of pain. Therapy, such as an oral appliance or deprogramming, can realign the bite and relive pain.
Learn more >


NTI-TSS
Teeth grinding and clenching, migraines, and head, neck, or jaw pain may be associated with a jaw muscle and nerve problem. The NTI tension suppression system can alleviate this pain without surgery or expensive therapies.
