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.

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.
Types of Dental Cleanings:

- Scaling and Root Planing is performed for patients with bone loss present (aka periodontal disease).
