Dental Examination
X-rays
Oral Cancer Screening
Some of our services and procedures include: Zoom! – Teeth Whitening, Dentures, Oral Cancer Screening, Smile Makeover, and Cosmetic Dentistry.

Teeth Cleaning
There are several dental procedures that you may have heard referred to as "Dental Cleanings." Some of these procedures are performed to prevent periodontal disease from occurring (Preventative), while others are performed to either stop or reverse the effects of the periodontal disease process (therapeutic).

Veneers
Porcelain veneers cover the front of your teeth with a very thin, yet surprisingly durable shell. These custom-made veneers can cover space between teeth, or help cosmetically correct crooked teeth, teeth that have been damaged or are discolored or teeth that are not shaped as well as you would like.
Crowns
Replacing a lost tooth is vital to maintaining the overall health and function of the surrounding teeth. It helps avoid tooth migration and loss of structure. It is necessary to avoid loss of bone from the jaw in that area. Implants are an effective means of counteracting these problems. Implants are also very strong and provide a feel as close to a natural tooth as can be currently achieved. Further, implants reduce the impact of the lost tooth on surrounding teeth, as traditional bridge structures often require reduction (filing down) of the two adjacent teeth to hold the bridge in place with crowns. Implanting avoids such alterations to the surrounding teeth when replacing a lost tooth.
Bridges
Dental Bonding

Root Canal Treatment
Your dentist uses root canal treatment to find the cause and then treat problems of the tooth's soft core (the dental pulp). Years ago, teeth with diseased or injured pulps were removed. Today, root canal treatment has given dentists a safe way of saving teeth.

Dentures
Implants, when replacing dentures, provide even more benefits. Dentures are notorious for slipping at the worst possible moments. Poorly fitting dentures can even affect diet, restricting food selections to easily chewed foods. Implants eliminate the possibility of slipping or pinching, and allow food of almost all types to be eaten (other than extremely hard foods such as chewing on ice, pits, or popcorn kernels, which is very bad for the implants and not good for natural teeth, either). In short, implants are the closest way to surgically restore a natural tooth to its original condition.

Dental Implants
However, the process of obtaining dental implants can be time-consuming, expensive, and success is not guaranteed. A patient considering this surgery should gather as much information as possible about the dental makeover procedure and about the dentist who will be performing this type of dental work. This procedure outline will introduce dental implants and common risks and benefits of the procedure, and can provide guidance as to more detailed questions to ask your dentist or oral surgeon.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral Surgery
Now that your oral surgery is completed, please follow these instructions to make yourself more comfortable, promote healing, and help prevent any possible complications.
Tooth Extractions
Local anesthesia avoids the pain that would be involved in the surgical procedures during implantation and uncovering of the implant fixture. Most patients state that implants involve less pain and discomfort than a tooth extraction.
Bone Grafting
There are two solutions commonly used for highly resorbed bone in the area where the implant is to occur. The first is bone grafting. This involves undergoing a procedure that moves bone from one place in the body to another to enlarge the bone structure at the implant site. Often bone can be moved from one place in the mouth to another. Sometimes a graft from a donor or an animal or artificial bone can be used if bone from the patient is not available. Grafting usually is done four to eight months before the implant procedure, to allow the graft a chance to heal before it is disturbed with the implant process. A second solution is the use of subperiosteal implants that ride above the bone but beneath the gum. These types of implants are not placed in the bone. A CAT scan is commonly used to obtain a model of the bone structure and then the implant fixture is molded to precisely fit the bone model.

Invisalign Orthodontics

Teeth Whitening
Brightening and whitening are more common than ever before, and for good reason, as the costs are reasonable today and the process doesn't have to be complicated. As us about our Zoom Day Specials!!
Cosmetic Dentistry
Dental bonding on the anterior or front teeth is an excellent method for repairing minor imperfections such as chips and stains. It can also be used to fill gaps between the teeth called diastemas. Although no cosmetic dentistry procedure can take the place of good oral and periodontal hygiene, dental bonding can brighten your smile quickly and easily.
