Our Services
Oral hygiene
Teeth cleaning is part of oral hygiene and involves the removal of dental plaque from teeth with the intention of preventing cavities, gingivitis, and periodontal disease. People routinely clean their own teeth by brushing and flossing but a dental hygienists can remove hardened deposits (tartar) not removed by at home cleaning.
Dental Emergency

Braces
Orthodontic problems occur when the teeth or jaws do not fit together properly. Orthodontic treatment is indicated in order to restore function, preserve dental health, facilitate speech, protect teeth from trauma, and improve esthetics.
Invisalign
The invisalign system consists of doctor-prescribed, custom, thin, clear plastic removable orthodontic appliances (aligners) that gently move the patients teeth in small increments and may also position the mandible forward fro their original state.
Ortho appliances - palatal expander
This is a common appliance used for patients who have a posterior crossbite. It is cemented on the upper teeth and as the appliance widens, the crossbite is corrected. Patients will usually activate the appliance for 2-4 weeks, but it must remain in the mouth for 6-9 months. Braces are often put on during this time.
Nitrous Oxide - Oxygen Sedation
Also referred to as: Laughing gas. It is a very safe gas/oxygen mixture which is inhaled by a mask on the nose and it takes effect after five to ten minutes. Nitrous oxide in the dental office is never used as a general anesthetic, it does not put patient to sleep. For this reason local anesthetic (freezing) is still necessary, but much more comfortable to receive.
Pediatric dentistry
Oral examinations help in the detection of the early stages of tooth decay. Early detection is essential to maintain good oral health, modify habits, and treat as needed. Additionally, parents are given preventative home care information (brushing/flossing/fluorides), a caries risk assessment, information on finger, thumb, and pacifier habits, advice on preventing injuries to the mouth and teeth of children, diet counseling, and information on growth and development. Children should be seen 6 months after their first tooth is through and the first exam is free.

Oral Cancer Screening
A full look around your mouth including around and under your tongue, the palate and the vestibules of the cheeks and lips. Catching and treating cancer early is always the best strategy.
Digital Smile Design
Digital smile design is a unique dental treatment planning tool which involves the patient in the restorative or smile enhancement process by making them the co-designer of their own treatment.
Dentures
Dentures and partials are a removable solution to aid in missing teeth. If an accident, a disease or poor oral health care has left you with only a few healthy teeth or none at all, your dentist might suggest dentures to replace your missing teeth. There are 2 types of dentures: partial and complete. For both types of dentures your dentist makes a model of your teeth by taking impressions. The models are used to custom-make your dentures.
Mouth guards
A mouth guard is a protective device for the mouth that covers the teeth and gums to prevent and reduce injury to the teeth. A mouth guard is most often used to prevent injury in contact sports or as a treatment for bruxism (grinding)
