The comprehensive evaluation is our opportunity to get to know each other better and establish a partnership in your dental health. We take this time to understand your chief concerns and where you want to take your oral health. At this appointment we perform an in-depth diagnostic evaluation, and from our findings, put together a roadmap to help you achieve your Smile Goals.

Roughly 50 percent of the adults in the United States have some form of bone and gum disease. Our highly trained periodontal therapists assess your gum and bone health and provide the needed hygiene treatment and homecare guidance to optimize the structures that support and keep your teeth in place.

A cavity or a hole in the tooth is one of many signs and symptoms of an underlying tooth infection called caries. We offer a caries risk evaluation to determine an individual’s likelihood of developing new cavities within a period of time. Based on the results of this evaluation, the most appropriate treatment options will be tailored to each tooth and to the person’s mouth as a whole.

These tooth shaped caps are used to treat issues of decay and wear. They can also enhance the aesthetics. In the case of fixed bridges, function is restored to gaps from missing teeth by connecting two or more crowns with a tooth shaped pontic that also mimics the colors and contours of natural teeth. These restorations are permanently bonded to prepared natural teeth. The maintenance of these restorations is the same as a natural tooth. We offer same day single-appointment crown treatments when applicable.

These are essentially the same as crowns and bridges; the main difference is that these restorations are permanently attached to underlying implants. This service is a great option when adequate bone is present and an effort to preserve any neighboring teeth becomes the priority.

A removable prosthesis is a versatile dental solution designed to replace missing teeth and restore both function and aesthetics to your smile. Common types of removable prostheses include complete dentures, which replace all the teeth in an arch, and partial dentures, which fill in gaps left by several missing teeth while preserving remaining natural teeth. These prostheses are custom-made to fit comfortably in your mouth, providing a natural-looking and effective replacement. Removable prostheses are especially beneficial for those who are not candidates for fixed solutions like dental implants due to health, bone density, or financial considerations. They can significantly improve chewing ability, speech, and facial structure, while also boosting self-confidence. Maintenance involves regular cleaning and periodic adjustments by a dental professional to ensure optimal fit and comfort. With proper care, a removable prosthesis can be a reliable and durable option for restoring your smile.

A full mouth rehabilitation is a comprehensive treatment plan designed to address and restore the health, function, and aesthetics of an entire mouth. This involves multiple dental procedures and a multiple discipline approach tailored to a patient’s specific needs, often combining restorative, cosmetic, and sometimes surgical treatments. The goal is to rebuild or replace all teeth, correct bite issues, and improve the overall appearance and functionality of the oral cavity.

Sleep appliance therapy is a non-invasive treatment option for individuals suffering from obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and chronic snoring. This therapy involves the use of a custom-fitted oral appliance, similar to a mouthguard, which is worn during sleep. The appliance works by gently repositioning the lower jaw and tongue to keep the airway open, thereby preventing the collapse of soft tissues that can obstruct breathing. Sleep appliance therapy is an effective alternative for those who find Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) machines uncomfortable. It not only improves sleep quality and reduces snoring but also helps mitigate the health risks associated with untreated sleep apnea, such as high blood pressure, heart disease, and daytime fatigue. By working closely with a dental professional trained in sleep medicine, patients can achieve significant relief and enjoy a restful night's sleep.

The proper alignment of teeth is not only aesthetic but healthy. The way our teeth come together greatly impacts our ability to keep things clean, properly chew, and adequately speak and communicate. Clear aligner therapy is a conservative approach to helping an individual address present tooth position concerns which can minimize future aesthetic and functional complications.

We offer a complimentary consultation to determine the best methods to brighten your smile.There are many products and techniques available for patients who want to achieve a brighter smile, and with so many options available, it can be difficult to choose the method that is right for you. The best way to begin any teeth-whitening regimen is to schedule an appointment and talk to your doctor about the differences between in-office professional whitening and at-home whitening.

IN-OFFICE TEETH WHITENING
The first professional option is commonly referred to as in-office whitening. This procedure is performed in a dental office. During an appointment, your dental professional will apply a whitening gel to the surface of your teeth. The entire office visit generally takes about 90 minutes and you will be able to see results immediately.

AT-HOME TEETH WHITENING
TRAY WHITENING
Tray bleaching is a type of professional whitening that uses custom-made trays and whitening gel only available through your dentist. The whitening gel is placed in custom-fitted trays that fit perfectly over your teeth. As the peroxide in the gel breaks down, hydroxyradicals help whiten stained teeth. Unlike strips, this process whitens all your natural teeth and may contain ingredients intended to provide maximum comfort. At-home professional tray whitening generally takes ten to 14 days, although you may notice results in as little as three to five days.

Dental bonding is a cost-effective and minimally invasive way to improve the appearance of your teeth. Through the use of tooth-colored resins, dental issues such as areas of decay or wear, chips, gaps, discolorations, or misshapen teeth are reversibly corrected. The results can last for years or be a wonderful transition to definitive porcelain treatment.

You no longer need to hide your smile due to gaps, chips, stains, or misshapen teeth. Veneers offer a natural-looking solution to these imperfections, helping you achieve a confident, beautiful smile. Made from tooth-colored materials like porcelain, veneers are thin, custom-made shells designed to cover the front of your teeth. To create them, your doctor will take a model of your teeth and send it to a dental technician. Some conservative tooth preparation may be needed before placement. Once your veneers are in place, they will look like natural teeth. Though stain-resistant, it's best to avoid coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco to keep your new smile pristine.

These are essentially the same as crowns and bridges; the main difference is that these restorations are permanently attached to underlying implants. This service is a great option when adequate bone is present and an effort to preserve any neighboring teeth becomes the priority.
