General Dentistry

Adults with good dental health should schedule routine cleanings twice a year. If you have a history of dental problems, you should visit the dentist more often. During a routine cleaning, we will check your teeth for signs of decay and your gums for symptoms of periodontitis. In addition, we will teach you proper at-home oral care so you can be proactive about your dental health.

When a tooth is severely decayed or has suffered trauma beyond repair, extraction is the best option. Our gentle staff will work to make this procedure as stress-free and pain-free as possible. After the tooth is removed, we can replace it with either a partial denture or an implant, both of which will look and function like a real tooth.

When a tooth has an extensive amount of decay, we can perform a root canal to remove the infected areas while maintaining the rest of the tooth. A root canal involves extracting the infected pulp of the tooth, sanitizing it to remove bacteria, refilling it, and then sealing it with a crown or filling to restore strength.

While partial dentures are specifically created to fill in the gaps of missing teeth, full dentures are designed to replace an entire arch of teeth, restoring the smile and facial contours. Whether you need a partial or full set, we can provide you with dentures that fit perfectly in your mouth and are comfortable and fully functional.

A dental implant is a tooth replacement that improves the look of your smile while preventing the rest of your teeth from shifting, improving chewing, and preventing jaw bone deterioration. An implant involves inserting a titanium screw into the gums to replace the root. After the screw has melded to the jaw bone, a post is placed on top of the screw as the foundation for the tooth, and a crown is placed on the post to restore the tooth’s appearance and strength.

During your routine cleaning, we will inspect your mouth for precancerous or cancerous symptoms, such as sores or discolorations. When oral cancer is caught early, the chances of being able to treat it are much higher.

It is important to maintain consistent dental care at home and that starts with a quality toothbrush. Our office sells a variety of electric toothbrushes, including the Oral-B iO and Oral-B Vitality. Our team would be happy to help you find the best option for your dental needs.

For current patients, we offer orthodontic treatments to straighten your teeth and improve jaw and mouth alignment. You can choose between standard braces or opt for Invisalign, which is a clear option that can be removed when you want to eat or drink. Both options not only improve the appearance of your smile, but also optimize chewing function.
