Cleaning & Exams

Gum disease is a common bacterial infection that can lead to serious health issues if untreated. Prevention includes proper brushing and flossing, though some people are more at risk due to genetics or medications.

We treat gum disease with scaling, root planing, and Arestin antibiotic treatment. Scaling and root planing remove plaque and smooth tooth roots, while Arestin is applied to gum pockets to kill bacteria and reduce inflammation.

Sealants

Dental sealants are a thin, protective coating applied to the chewing surfaces of molars. This liquid coating hardens to form a barrier that shields the teeth from food and plaque, helping to prevent decay.

Sealants are especially effective for children when applied as soon as their molars emerge, but they’re also beneficial for adults prone to decay or with deep grooves in their teeth.

Inlays & Overlays

Inlays and onlays are custom dental restorations used to repair areas of decay or damage that are too large for fillings but don’t require a full crown. They provide strength while preserving more of the natural tooth.

Inlays cover the center chewing surface between the cusps, while onlays extend over one or more cusps. Both are bonded to the tooth for a precise and durable fit.

Mouth Guards

Mouthguards protect teeth from injuries during sports, preventing damage like chips or fractures. We also offer night guards to prevent teeth grinding during sleep, which can cause similar issues.

If you experience teeth grinding, jaw pain, or headaches, a night guard may help. Contact us to learn more.

Restore damaged teeth

Crowns & bridges

Dental crowns and bridges are prosthetics used to restore function and enhance the appearance of your smile. Crowns cover damaged or cosmetically flawed teeth, providing strength and protection, while bridges replace missing teeth by anchoring to surrounding healthy teeth. With proper care, crowns can last up to 15 years, and bridges up to 7 years.

Restored Function

Crowns and bridges restore chewing and speaking abilities by reinforcing damaged teeth and replacing missing ones.

Enhanced Appearance

They improve the look of your smile by covering flaws and filling gaps left by missing teeth.

Long-Lasting Durability

With proper care, crowns can last up to 15 years, and bridges up to 7 years, providing lasting protection and stability.

Long-Term Durability

Custom Fit Dentures

Dentures are custom-made dental prosthetics that replace missing teeth, available as partial or full sets depending on how many teeth are lost. Made from a flexible polymer base with porcelain or ceramic teeth, dentures are held in place by suction, adhesive, or clips on natural teeth. Our goal is to provide comfortable, functional, and aesthetically pleasing dentures for every smile.
