Our office provides a wide range of general dental services. Click on the service to see further information:
- TEETH CLEANING AND PREVENTIVE DENTISTRY: Did you know most people take better care of their cars than their own teeth? Do you know anyone whose car has lasted their lifetime? Your teeth can and should. There is really no excuse in this day and age for people to lose their teeth. Your teeth were meant to last a lifetime--regular checkups and cleanings are the first step towards achieving that goal.

- PERIODONTAL TREATMENT - GUM DISEASE: Did you know more people lose their teeth due to gum disease than anything else? Gum disease is preventable with good dentistry and good oral hygiene in otherwise healthy individuals. We'll show you how to take care of your mouth after we've eliminated all the causative factors. Our treatments are advanced and conservative. Serious periodontal disease may require a specialist so don't wait until it's too late.

- WHITENING: This is the easiest, most cost-effective method of improving one's appearance. Patients are provided with home kits and customized trays to hold the whitening gel onto the teeth. Return your teeth to their natural, more
youthful color. Improve your self-image in a matter of weeks. Look at these before and after pictures - this could be you!

- INLAYS/ONLAYS: Inlays and onlays can be a service used for cases that involve more than a filling but can avoid a crown. In these cases a custom, lab-created inlay or onlay is made to fit the tooth. When an inlay or onlay can be used the advantages are they last longer than fillings, and preserve more of the original tooth structure than a crown. Note these before and after pictures.

- BRIDGES: If a tooth cannot be saved or has already been lost a fixed bridge may be the next best thing. Everyone was meant to have their teeth for a lifetime. If a tooth is lost- and not replaced - the other teeth will start to move, the area will be harder to clean, and your whole mouth will be affected. Our bridges are custom made and very natural looking.

- NIGHTGUARDS AND MOUTHGARDS: These are comfortable soft acrylic mouthguards worn over the upper teeth and gums. They are one of the most cost-effective services offered in dentistry today.
Indications: Used by athletes including weight-trainers, clenchers and bruxers (patients who grind their teeth especially during the night), people who have invested a considerable sum for their dentistry.
Benefits:
- Protects teeth and dental work from the wearing effects of nocturnal bruxism
- Protects the jaw joint structures which we don't think about from stress related compressive type injuries due to bruxism
- Protects the dental pulps from being crushed and permanently damaged; thereby
preventing root canals. This situations is far more common than once believed.
- Protects teeth and dental work from fractures and loss.
