We will be happy to see children younger than 3 years of age if there is a concern.
Periodontics
Periodontal diseases are infections that affect the tissues and bone that support teeth. Steps to improve these conditions may include a special cleaning called scaling and root planing, sometimes called a deep cleaning. The dentist may also prescribe medications like antibiotics and special mouth rinses. Additional treatment may be necessary and you may be referred to a periodontist, a gum specialist.

A night guard is an appliance fabricated in our lab for patients to wear at night if they suffer from night grinding and for patients who suffer from Temporamandibular disorders or TMD. We also fabricate custom sports athletic guards for adults and children to wear during sports activities to prevent injury.

ZOOM! Whitening offers patients an easy and effective way to whiten their teeth in office in about two appointments. The ZOOM! Teeth whitening system is the perfect solution for patients who want a dramatically whiter smile in shorter amount of time.
The professional Home Whitening system allows patients to whiten their teeth in comfort of their own home and around their schedule wearing a custom made tray. We have a variety of products to achieve optimum whitening.
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers offer a safe and effective alternative to more invasive treatments like dental crowns or orthodontics. For this reason, porcelain veneers are the ideal choice for patients who would like to improve the overall appearance of their smile or correct misaligned and damaged teeth. Porcelain veneers can cover anything from slight imperfections of the teeth, to permanent stains from coffee, cigarettes, and even tetracycline stains.
RESTORATIVE DENTISTRY
Crowns
A crown is a restoration that covers, or caps, a tooth to restore it to its normal shape and size. Its purpose is to strengthen or improve the appearance of a tooth. A crown is placed for a number of reasons: to support a tooth after a large filling is removed, to attach a bridge, to protect weak teeth from fracture, or if badly shaped, and/or discolored, to support a root canalled tooth, or to cover a dental implant.
Bridges
A bridge (also called a fixed partial denture) is a restoration which replaces or spans the space where one or more teeth have been lost. A bridge is bonded into place and is not removed. Your appearance, dental health and the proper functioning of your mouth are all important reasons for wearing a bridge. A bridge helps maintain the natural shape of your face and may help support your lips and cheeks. More importantly, though, your dental health may suffer when missing teeth are not replaced.
Endodontics
Endodontics is the area concerned with the treatment of disorders of the tooth pulp or soft core. The pulp is a soft tissue that contains nerves, arteries, veins and lymph vessels. When the pulp is diseased or injured and unable to repair itself, the pulp dies. The most common endodontic treatment is called a “root canal”, the removal of the infected tissue and refilling the canal inside the tooth. Root canal treatment can safely and comfortably save a tooth.
Implants
Excellent choices to replacing missing teeth are dental implants. Implants are metal posts or frames that are surgically placed beneath your gums. After placement, the implants fuse to the bone of your jaw and act as artificial roots. Within a short amount of time a single crown, or grouped bridge or denture is then mounted to the implant. This secure fit helps replacement teeth feel more natural than conventional prosthetics.
Dentures & Partials
Substitutes to replacing missing teeth are complete dentures and removable partial dentures or “Partials”. Dentures and partials that fit properly can improve your appearance, eating and speaking. Without support from a denture or partial, facial muscles sag, making a person look older. With regular professional care you can become one of the millions of people who wear dentures and partials successfully.
