Dental tools used for dental cleanings and exams

Our Family Dentistry Services

Dental Cleanings and Exams – Regularly scheduled dental cleanings and exams are crucial for preventing dental problems down the line and treating problems early. Make sure everyone in your family has a scheduled visit with us every 6 months.

Dental Fillings – Our family dental office uses mercury-free dental fillings to provide our patients with beautiful results. After we remove the tooth decay, we restore your teeth back to full strength and beauty using tooth-colored dental fillings.

Dental Bridges and Crowns – Whether you’re missing a tooth or need to restore a severely damaged one, our porcelain dental bridges and crowns make the perfect restoration. They help you regain function and strength while blending seamlessly with your natural teeth.

Orthodontics – Not everyone is born with a straight smile. With orthodontics like Invisalign, we can help our patients achieve a straighter smile and a perfect bite. Not only will your smile look great, but it will function well too!

Gum Disease Treatment – Gum disease is one of the leading causes of tooth loss. With our gum disease treatment, we can help you maintain a full smile for years to come.

Dentures and Partial Dentures – Losing a tooth can feel like a tragedy but with our tooth replacement options like dentures and partial dentures, we can restore your smile in no time. You can then continue smiling, eating and talking with confidence thanks to our natural-looking tooth replacement options.

Dental Implants – If you want your tooth replacement to feel and function just like natural teeth, look no further than dental implants. Dental implants secure your tooth replacements to your jaw bone just like natural teeth.

Growth and Development Assessments – When your jaw grows and develops, it’s important that it does so correctly. If we notice anything out of balance, we will correct it before it leads to future dental problems using epigenetic dentistry. Growth and development problems may lead to breathing issues, misaligned teeth, crowded teeth, sleep apnea, and even TMJ disorders.

Airway Assessment – If you’re a mouth breather, snore regularly or even have sleep apnea, we can assess your airway to see if it’s the culprit. If it is, we will use an epigenetic and physiologic dentistry approach to correct the issue and help you breathe better all day and night.

Physiological Dentistry – When your bite is out of balance it can cause painful TMJ symptoms. With physiologic dentistry, we can restore harmony to all the features that make up your jawbone and provide you with long-term relief from TMJ.

Cosmetic Dentistry – If you’re unhappy with the appearance of your smile, we offer a full range of cosmetic dentistry treatments to whiten, straighten or mask cracks, chips or misshapen teeth.
