Edwin Y. Josephs, DDS

We are a dedicated team of dental professionals, committed to providing excellent dental care while fostering a warm and welcoming environment for our patients. Our team, which includes hygienists, front office staff, and assistants, work collaboratively to ensure that every patient receives the best possible care. We pride ourselves on the respect and care we show each other, which translates into a low-stress and comfortable experience for our patients.

Our Services

We offer a comprehensive range of dental services, including general dentistry, cosmetic dentistry, and periodontal care. Our general dentistry services include composite fillings, root canals, crowns, bridges, implants, and dentures. We believe that every restoration in dentistry should be esthetically pleasing, even in areas that are not easily visible. Our cosmetic dentistry services include teeth whitening, chairside veneers, and porcelain veneers.

Our approach to dentistry is centered on patient education, preventative care, and a gentle approach. We strive to establish a mutual relationship with our patients, and to provide preventative care as the first line of defense. We believe in a non-invasive approach whenever possible, and in being flexible with financing to help patients achieve their dental treatment goals. We provide care for families, including some work on children.

Patient Education

Patient education is a key component of our approach to dentistry. We believe that informed patients are better able to make decisions regarding their dental health. We take the time to explain procedures and treatment options, and to answer any questions our patients may have. We also provide resources and information on dental health topics, such as the importance of regular dental visits, the best types of toothbrushes to use, and the proper brushing and flossing techniques.

Preventative Care

Preventative care is the foundation of our dental practice. We recommend that most people visit the dentist twice per year for a cleaning and checkup. Regular dental visits help to prevent cavities, gum disease, and other dental health issues. We believe that preventative care is the best approach to dental health, as it helps to identify and address potential issues before they become more serious.

Gentle Approach

We take a gentle approach to all aspects of dental care, with a focus on patient comfort. We understand that many people experience anxiety or fear when it comes to dental appointments, and we do our best to alleviate these feelings by providing a calm and relaxing environment. We use the latest techniques and equipment to ensure that procedures are as comfortable and pain-free as possible.

Flexible Financing

We believe that everyone deserves access to quality dental care, regardless of their financial situation. That's why we offer flexible financing options to help our patients achieve their dental treatment goals. We accept a variety of payment methods, and we work with our patients to find a financing plan that works for them.

How often should I see a dentist?

There is no standardized answer to this question, as the frequency of dental visits depends on a variety of factors, including a person's overall dental health and individual risk factors. However, we generally recommend that most people visit the dentist twice per year for a cleaning and checkup.

What kind of toothbrush should I use?

We recommend that our patients use only soft or ultra-soft toothbrushes. The stiffness of the bristles is not as important as the proper brushing techniques. In fact, medium and hard bristles can damage the lining of the gums and cause recession. We provide ultra-soft brushes for our patients twice per year after their cleaning appointments.

What is the best electric toothbrush?

If used properly, an electric toothbrush can be very effective in removing plaque. An electric brush can be of great help specially for those of us who have diminished fine motor skills, and reduced hand dexterity. We recommend looking for the ADA seal on the product, whether it is a manual brush, or electric.

What are some tips for proper brushing of teeth?

For manual toothbrushing, we recommend using circular motion to move the brush tip gently over an area several times prior to moving on to the next spot. Do not apply heavy hand, but just enough pressure to remove the soft film on your teeth. Do
