General Dentistry

Receiving general dental care is crucial for your oral and overall health. In fact, the American Dental Association recommends people visit the dentist regularly for examinations, cleanings, and consultations. Typically, you should go twice a year, but individuals with gum disease or similar issues should go more frequently.

Regular dental care comes with numerous advantages, including disease prevention and early detection of certain issues. Brushing and flossing alone can’t remove plaque buildup, which is why professionals recommend seeing a general dentist for a professional teeth cleaning twice a year.

Routine checkups
Professional dental cleanings
X-rays
Oral cancer screenings

Implant Dentistry

Dental implants are surgical-grade root replacements for missing teeth. They’re anchored in the bone underneath the gums to create strength and stability for the crown mounted on top. The result is a long-lasting and natural-looking smile. We offer several options for implant dentistry, including:

Single tooth replacements
Implant-supported dentures
All-on-four/six fixed implant solution.

Endodontics

Endodontics refers to the treatment and diagnosis of problems with the tissues inside of the tooth. Our doctors are highly trained to repair these issues by performing root canal therapy or other procedures. These treatments can relieve pain and save your natural tooth.

Wisdom Teeth Extractions

Your third molars are called your wisdom teeth, and they’re the last four teeth to erupt. They generally come in between the ages of 17 and 25 but need to be removed for various reasons, including pain and crowding.
