Preventive Dentistry
We strive to prevent dental conditions whenever possible. Regular dental exams, cleanings, and X-rays often detect dental conditions in their earliest stages before they pose a severe risk to your smile.
- A comprehensive dental exam evaluates the health of each tooth and looks for signs of periodontal (gum) disease. We will let you know immediately if we find anything that requires treatment.
- Our dental cleanings are designed to keep your teeth clean and your gums healthy and give you a smooth, fresh smile. Our hygienist will remove all plaque and tartar from the surfaces of your teeth and finish up with a polish so that your teeth are completely clean.
- Dental X-rays assist in diagnosing conditions that are not visible through a visual exam alone. These can include dental decay, infection, bone levels, and certain types of cysts and tumors.
We typically recommend a dental exam and cleaning every six months unless you have a dental condition like gum disease that may require more frequent visits.
Restorative Dentistry
Whether you require a dental filling, crown, or dental bonding, we are here to repair your teeth, which protects them and can extend comfortable function.
- Fillings – Fillings are used to repair a tooth after removing decay.
- Crowns – Crowns protect and stabilize a cracked or deeply decayed tooth.
- Bonding – Bonding can fill in small chips and narrow gaps in teeth for cosmetic purposes or to prevent stains or decay.
When providing restorative dentistry, we make sure that the results are both comfortable and long-lasting.
Tooth-Replacement Options
We prioritize saving your natural teeth, but sometimes, removing a tooth is necessary to relieve symptoms and protect your health or because restoration is impossible. Having a gap in your smile is not ideal, either for your appearance or for chewing and speaking comfortably.
We offer the following tooth replacement options:
- Fixed dental bridges– replace a missing tooth by anchoring an artificial tooth in place using two healthy teeth
- Dental implants – replace a missing tooth by surgically implanting a replacement root and placing a dental crown
- Dentures – replace all teeth on the upper or lower arch with a removable prosthetic
- Partial dentures – replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring a prosthetic to your remaining natural teeth
A comprehensive dental exam will give us the information we need to recommend replacing your missing teeth to restore your smile and your ability to eat and speak comfortably.

Frequently Asked Questions
I brush and floss every day. Why do I need a cleaning?
Even with excellent hygiene habits, it’s easy to miss small areas of your teeth. Over time, the missed plaque will harden into tartar, which can only be removed with a dental hygienist’s tools. When tartar accumulates beneath the gum line, the result is red, puffy, inflamed gums – the beginnings of periodontal disease.
