Offering a full suite of Dental Services including...
Digital RadiographsOur office has had digital xrays for many years. With up to 90% less radiation, no sharp films in the mouth, and instant results, both patients and staff benefit.
Patients love to see for themselves on a big computer screen xray pictures that they can understand. We offer everyone to see their films, most do, and they are impressed. No more little films that were always a mystery to patients!
Opalescence Tray Bleaching
We offer an inexpensive disposable tray bleaching system that is quite effective. It is excellent for teens, for birthday or anniversary gifts, or for an easy and quick touch up.
The kit contains one week's worth of upper and lower trays that are used for one hour per day for one week.
Please contact us for more information to see if this will work for you!
Air Abrasion
We offer a "no drilling" alternative for new fillings! Instead of a high speed drill, we use the air abrasion machine. No needles needed! The machine uses a fine aluminum oxide powder to "cut away" tooth stucture. Once prepared the tooth can be filled with white or silver filling. (This is not to be used if your tooth has a large hole or very deep decay, since the air of the machine will make the already sensitive tooth hurt.)
Zoom Teeth WhiteningYour smile is important. It's one of the first things you notice when you meet someone. A whiter, brighter smile is beautiful - it can help you feel better about yourself and make a memorable impression. Your lifestyle and the aging process can stain and darken your teeth. Many things we do on a regular basis can contribute to stained teeth, such as drinking coffee, tea, cola and red wine or smoking. Whitening can get your smile looking its best. You should look for a whitening procedure that is:
Dental Insurance
We work with many dental insurance plans, in fact, too many to list. There are PPO's, DHMO's, and quite a few other options. Please call our office and speak with our knowledgable staff and they can help you in this regard. We will do our best to get the most from your benefits. We will always let you know if any copays are needed.
Our usual procedure is to send a pre treatment estimate to your plan prior to any extensive work being done. This lets you know up front any fees that you will be responsible for before treatment is started.
Crowns and Fixed Bridgework
We are experts in restoring broken, cracked, or worn down teeth with different types of crowns. We offer our patients options of all porcelain, porcelain with metal, gold, and reinforced porcelain restorations. We aim to do the most conservative restorations possible.
For those missing teeth, we have fixed bridgework (multiple crowns) as an option. We recommend you come in for a consultation to see what's right for you.
Porcelain Laminates (some call them Veneers)
For those who want whiter teeth, want to reshape their smiles, or want to close gaps, laminates may be for you. A thin shell of porcelain is custom shaded and custom made to fit on the face of your tooth. It doesn't hurt and is done in usually only two visits.
We can do wonders with them!
Custom Tray Bleaching
Still our most popular choice. We have our lab custom make very comfortable trays that you wear at home (most people opt to sleep with the trays,but daytime wear is also done).
The solutions vary with each individual case. We offer different strength solutions depending on age, case, day or night use, etc. We custom tailor the case to work best for each person. People love the tray system as is is quite comfortable, and the end result is THE SAME as in office whitening for a lot less money! As we say in the office, you get more bang for the buck! (The money you save is because you are doing the work at home.)
Implants
Why not replace those missing teeth? We can do replacements that are not removable and we do not need to reduce healthly teeth. Come see us to see if you are a candidate.
Dentures
No longer do dentures need to be unsightly nor uncomfortable. We offer many options for patients. There are metal free, esthetic, soft partial dentures. There are also soft, cushion gripped full dentures. There is absolutlely NO REASON anyone should be walking around with missing teeth. There are affordable alternatives, just ask!
Come in for a consultation. We can help!
Periodontal Care
It's the foundation that counts. Periodontics is like the foundation of one's home. If the foundation is in trouble, does it make sense to repair the second floor? We do the evaluation first, then deep cleanings, scaling and root planing to clean deep down and minimize pockets that cause food and bacteria to trap. The supporting structures are strengthened (under the gums) and then we work out a program that you can live with to keep your mouth clean and healthy.
Root Canal Therapy
You must save your teeth! Root canal therapy is one option.
Often a painless procedure, we do root canal therapy the most modern way, with the new rotary technique. This provides a faster (patients love this) and often better result. Root canal therapy is needed when decay or fracture injures the nerve of one's tooth. It can be painful, but most often is because of the patient waiting too long to seek treatment.
Fillings
We offer patients white or silver fillings. White fillings are more cosmetic and are a great alternative to those grey silver fillings. We offer our patients a choice of materials, each case is unique, so let us consult with you.
