Core Services (return to top)
We provide an array of services to better serve you and keep your smile healthy and beautiful:
- Fillings - Tooth-colored, non-metal fillings are far better than the metal filling that we grew up with. Tooth-colored fillings seal the tooth better, bond the remaining tooth together resulting in a stronger tooth, cause less of your natural tooth structure to be removed to place the bonded restorations, and look great.
Help to restore strength and function while giving your teeth a healthy and natural look with fillings that compliment your tooth color and blend in to create a more natural looking smile. These filling may be done in either one or two visits depending on the condition of your tooth and the type of filling required. You no longer need to see those dark silver or grey spots on you teeth!
- Crowns - Covering and supporting a weak or broken tooth with a crown can make your tooth stronger and improve its appearance. It can also be used to attach a bridge, restore a dental implant, or cover teeth that are discolored or poorly shaped. Our crowns can be made to mimic existing teeth or changed to enhance your smile.
- Endodontics - Endodontics (Root Canal) Therapy is the removal of the pulp tissue from the tooth. The pulp tissue refers to the nerve and blood vessels of the tooth. Endodontic Therapy may be necessary to save your natural tooth if the pulp tissue is irreversibly damaged by bacteria associated with decay, very deep filling, tooth fracture or trauma, or periodontal disease. Using the latest technology, our doctors are able to complete endondontic treatment comfortably and in much less time than previously possible.
Prevention (return to top)
Early detection and treatment of cavities can prevent more costly and painful treatment later. Make sure that you see your dentist every six months for a thorough oral examination. We are committed to preventing dental disease in all its forms. As partners in striving for your optimum dental health, we will educate you about the latest products, techniques, and information to help you prevent dental disease. Talk to a caring and professional team member about the health advantages of early detection.
- Sealants - You may know that sealants are a protective plastic coating placed over deep grooves in teeth to prevent potential decay, but not all sealants are created equally. Both the type of material and the placement procedure play a big role in sealant success. Before placing a sealant the tooth must be meticulously cleaned of all plaque and debris. Organic material can reside in the deep grooves and prevent a proper bond for the sealant. Moisture, tartar or calculus will also prevent a proper bond.
The grooves of the teeth are cleaned prior to the placement of the sealant via a process known as microairabrasion; this increases the adhesion of the sealant. The enamel on the tooth is then etched with a 33% phosphoric acid etch to further increase the sealant bonding strength. A special bonding agent is brushed deep into the grooves. This bonding material is hardened with a special wavelength curing light. Finally, the sealant is placed. We use a unique formula that not only seals the tooth but will actually release fluoride into the surrounding tooth structure if an acidic attack occurs. Industry experts agree that the normal life span of a sealant is 4-6 years.

Whitening (return to top)
Improve your smile and boost your confidence. When we asked people what they wanted to see when they smiled, the answer was unanimous! They wanted whiter teeth.
- Zoom 2 - Our office is using the state of the art Zoom 2 whitening system as seen of ABC’s hit television show, Extreme Makeover. With the Zoom 2 light we can significantly whiten your teeth 4 to 6 shades lighter in practically no time at all. A whiter smile can be your best feature. Ask one of our skilled team professionals for more information on this.
- In-Office or Chair-side Whitening - a protective gel is put in place to protect your gums, and an American Dental Association (ADA) approved bleaching agent is applied to the teeth, which is then enhanced with a special light.
- At-Home Whitening - Based on your needs, we will select from a variety of customized whitening procedures. Placed in a custom–fabricated mouth guard, the gel will whiten your teeth safely when used as little as one or two hours a day for as few as two weeks. We'll choose the plan that suits your lifestyle and delivers fantastic results for you based on the shade of your teeth.
