Invisalign (aka Clear Braces)

  • Invisalign straightens teeth using a series of nearly invisible, removable aligners that are custom-made specifically for your teeth. As you replace each aligner every two weeks, your teeth will move – little by little, week by week, gradually moving towards the projected final position.

Dental Implants

  • ​A dental implant is a titanium post (like a tooth root) that is surgically positioned into the jawbone beneath the gum line that allows a crown, bridge or denture to be attached. 
  • Implant is a permanent restoration that does not come in and out.
  • Implants can be used to support a bridge or denture
  • Hybrid Implants can allow for all teeth to be replaced without being removable.​​

Root Canals​

  • ​A root canal is a treatment to repair and save a badly damaged or infected tooth. The procedure involves removing the damaged area of the tooth (the pulp), cleaning and disinfecting it and then filling and sealing it.​​

​

Sedation Dentistry

  • We offer Oral Conscious Sedation which entails taking a medication at home before an appointment followed by administration of additional medication at the office which can also be combined with nitrous oxide. Patients do not usually recall most of their appointments.
  • We have an IV Sedation doctor available on an as needed basis for those who wish to be put asleep.
  • All patients under oral sedation are required to have a responsible adult to drive them to and from the office and monitor the patient after their treatment.

Teeth Whitening 

  • ​In-Office Whitening is an hour long appointment where you leave with visibly whiter teeth. We offer Opalessence Boost.
  • At Home Whitening is controlled by the patients and can be done every night from 20 minute to an hour with custom made whitening trays. Results are noticeable after the first few sessions.
  • Both whitening products require routine touch ups to maintain whitening results

Complete Dentures, Partial Dentures and Immediate Dentures

  • Immediate Denturesallow patients to never go without teeth. Extractions are staged to allow immediate placement of the denture on the day of delivery. Relines are done following treatment to allow for proper fit and function. After 4-6 months a final reline is performed to fit the denture to the healed ridge. Immediate Dentures are removable.
  • Partial Dentures replace teeth that are missing and use the existing teeth as anchors to support the partial denture. Partials are an option for patients who have a minimum of 3 existing teeth. Partial dentures are removable.
  • Complete Dentures replace all missing teeth and can be combined with implants for better stability. 
  • Implant Retained Dentures (aka Hybrid Dentures) are dentures that are attached to implants to allow for more stability and less movement of the denture. ​

Aesthetic Dentistry and Veneers

  • Veneers (aka porcelain veneers) are thin, custom-made shells of tooth-colored porcelain designed to cover the front surface of teeth to improve their appearance. These veneers are bonded to the teeth changing their color, shape, size, or length.
  • Aesthetic Dentistry can involve multiple aspects such as veneers, Invisalgin, whitening, ect.
