Teeth Cleaning/Prophylaxis

Designed to keep teeth and especially gums healthy, this is a regular teeth cleaning for patients who stick to a regular cleaning schedule- preventative maintenance.


Fluoride Treatment

A high concentration dose of fluoride applied directly to the teeth in the dental setting to help strengthen enamel and prevent cavities. We offer a varnish treatment in which the patient can eat and drink afterwards. We offer it at an affordable rate for all patients, even if it is not covered by insurance.


Oral Cancer Screenings

We check thoroughly for lumps, bumps, sores, and for anything that should not be there.


Silver Diamine Fluoride

A minimally invasive, highly effective treatment especially for children and older adults to stop the progression of decay where treating it by drilling may not be ideal. It is a liquid substance applied to the teeth and instantly stops the spread of decay in the right situations.


ICON

A minimally invasive, highly effective treatment of “white spot lesions.” These lesions are often present from childhood, or appear after braces treatment. The tooth is etched and flooded with a resin infiltrant, majorly decreasing the appearance of white spots and helping them blend into the background.


Tooth Colored Fillings

We place only tooth colored fillings in this office. We use highly effective methods to place these fillings with minimal post operative sensitivity including use of two desensitizers during the process


Sealants

Prevent dental decay by painting a thin coating over the deepest grooves of the teeth, therefore keeping food and bacteria out of areas that are hard to brush.


Treatment of Gum Disease
Often due to reasons such as genetics, smoking, age, or forgoing regular dental cleanings, gum disease develops within the mouth. If this happens, we begin initial therapy and work with specialists in the area to keep the teeth


Extractions

There are a variety of reasons that a tooth or teeth may need to be extracted.  Regardless of the reason, we will work to make sure you are comfortable and cared for throughout your treatment experience.
