General Dentistry involves the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of a wide range of dental conditions for patients of all ages, as well as the maintenance of oral health. This comprehensive care from a general dentist is usually the only source of care patients require for their dental needs. You can prevent dental conditions by seeing your dentist on a regular basis.

Regular check-up visits to the dentist are recommended at least once every six months in order to maintain proper oral hygiene and screen for any potential problems. Early detection of decay and other disease processes is vital for your oral health as it prevents complications and potentially more expensive treatments in the future.

From subtle changes to major repairs, cosmetic dentistry can be used to restore or improve the appearance of your teeth, whether you want them to be whiter, straighter or more even. Veneers can be used to give you the Hollywood Smile you have always dreamt of.

Having a brighter smile can have a huge impact on your self-esteem and confidence. The treatments can be used to straighten, lighten, reshape and repair teeth.

Dentures are removable prosthesis used to replace missing teeth. Dentures replace not only missing teeth but can also restore gum and bone dimensions lost over time. Dentures also provide support for the cheeks and lips and help you eat, speak, and function.

Partial Dentures – These are used for patients who are missing several teeth in the same jaw. The denture is removable and stays in place with small clamps to the remaining teeth (or crowns).

Complete Dentures – These are full mouth replacements designed to replace all the teeth in the mouth with one piece. This is useful for people who are missing all of their teeth on either the lower or upper jaw.

Preventive dentistry is the most effective method for protecting your smile from oral disease and disorders. Rather than waiting for a problem to arise, we monitor your oral health and provide you with treatments that help inhibit the development of dental problems.

Even with excellent home hygiene, your oral cavity is susceptible to a variety of concerns, which you may easily protect yourself against with the assistance of professional dental care and advanced technology.

By visiting us once every six months for preventive visits, we can better assist you in maintaining your oral health and comfort.

The technology and procedures in dentistry are constantly evolving. We believe one of the most significant advancements in the field is the use of laser technology.

The application of lasers in dentistry opens the door for dentists to perform a wide variety of dental procedures they otherwise may not be capable of performing.

Teeth Whitening – Low-intensity soft tissue dental lasers may be used to speed up the bleaching process associated with teeth whitening.

Tooth Sensitivity – Dental lasers may be used to seal tubules that are responsible for hot and cold tooth sensitivity.

Cold Sores – Low-intensity dental lasers reduce pain associated with cold sores and minimize healing time.

Gum Reduction – Dental lasers can reshape gum tissue and bone to expose healthier tooth structure.

Gummy Smile – Dental lasers can reshape gum tissue to expose healthy improve the appearance of a gummy smile.

Benign Tumors – Dental lasers may be used for the painless removal of benign tumors from the gums, palate, sides of cheeks and lips.

Laser Frenectomy – A laser frenectomy is an ideal treatment option for children who are tongue tied (restricted or tight frenulum) and babies unable to breast feed adequately due to limited tongue movement.

Dental implants are designed to provide a foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. Regain the ability to eat virtually anything and can smile with confidence, knowing that teeth appear natural and that facial contours will be preserved.

Implants are small titanium posts which replace the roots of missing teeth, these posts act as tooth root substitutes. Once healed, implants provide a strong foundation upon which a crown may be placed.

Implant teeth look, feel, and function just like natural teeth. Best of all, implant teeth are permanent and can last a lifetime with proper care.
