We offer a range of services to meet the unique needs of every member of your family, from routine cleanings to more complex dental work.

Cleanings and exams

Regular cleanings and exams are an important part of maintaining good oral health. These services can help to prevent tooth decay and gum disease, and they can also detect problems early on, when they are easier to treat.

Cosmetic Dentistry

Cosmetic dentistry is a type of dental treatment that is focused on improving the appearance of the teeth and smile. This can include procedures such as teeth whitening, veneers, and bonding.

Fillings

If a tooth is damaged or has a cavity, a filling can be used to repair it. Fillings can be made from a variety of materials, including composite resin, gold, or amalgam.

Crowns

A crown, also known as a cap, is a type of restoration that covers the entire surface of a tooth. Crowns can be used to repair teeth that are severely damaged or to support a tooth that has had a root canal.

Bridges

A bridge is a type of restoration that replaces missing teeth. It consists of one or more false teeth, known as pontics, that are supported by crowns on either side.

Orthodontic treatment

Orthodontic treatment is used to correct misaligned teeth and jaws. This can be done using braces or other appliances, such as clear aligners.
