I Need a Checkup & Cleaning

We would be happy to examine your mouth and give your teeth a thorough cleaning! In fact, studies show that making these types of appointments biannually can significantly reduce your risk of oral health problems, so it’s one of the best things you can do for your smile. We’ll check for early warning signs of gum disease, cavities, oral cancer, and other issues, and scrub the harmful plaque and tartar from your pearly whites.

I Am Worried About Bleeding Gums

That’s understandable – bleeding gums can be alarming, and are often an indicator of gum disease. If you make an appointment with our team, the first thing we’ll do is determine the severity of your issue. Some cases of gum disease can be remedied with increased oral hygiene efforts, but others require a deep cleaning and topical antibiotics. Rest assured, we’ll discuss our findings with you and help you get your oral health back on track!

I Want to Enhance My Smile

Whether you’re looking to whiten your teeth or straighten out misalignment, we’ve got a dental cosmetic solution for you! These treatments are very minimal and often painless. To cover a shallow crack or fill in a small chip, for example, we can simply apply a composite resin bonding that will make your pearly white look good as new. Veneers, meanwhile, can be adhered to the front-facing portion of your teeth for a more comprehensive makeover. Don’t hesitate to give us a call and see how we can enhance your smile.

I Have a Cavity/Broken Tooth

Cavities and dental damage can leave your tooth vulnerable to bacteria and further harm. That’s why if you have a structurally compromised pearly white, we’ll provide you with a tooth-colored crown or filling. Unlike their metal counterparts, these natural-looking restorations provide a seamless fix for your smile, won’t develop a blue-gray tint, and can last for several years with proper care.

I Am Missing One or More Teeth

Our mouths are so small that missing even one tooth can take a huge toll on your oral function and comfort. Fortunately, modern dental restorations are quite versatile, and our team can replace any number of pearly whites. Our bridges, full dentures, partial dentures, and dental implants are all made with quality, tooth-colored materials that will make your smile look seamless and feel perfectly natural.

I Want to Learn About Sleep Apnea

You’re probably surprised to see sleep apnea as part of your dentist’s list of services. Not many people realize that dental professionals can complete extra training that qualifies them to treat obstructive sleep apnea! By designing a custom oral appliance specifically for your mouth, our team can free your airway to promote better nighttime breathing. Many patients start to experience improved sleep quality within just a few weeks.

I Am in Pain & Need Help

When you’re experiencing oral pain, you want help – fast! That’s why we accept same-day appointments for dental emergency patients. If you have a severe toothache, persistent dental sensitivity, a broken restoration, or other such urgent matter, call our office right away.
