Services
Invisalign
Invisalign straightens teeth using clear, removable aligners tailored to your smile. Our process combines Dr. Umfress' expertise with 3D imaging for precise, comfortable treatment. Patients visit every six weeks to monitor progress toward their ideal alignment.
Dentures
Custom-crafted dentures restore natural-looking smiles with precision fit. We offer premium acrylic, flexible, or cast metal options, including full sets and partials. Dr. Umfress personally oversees fabrication, ensuring comfort and functionality for over 1,000 satisfied patients.
Teeth Whitening
Professional whitening treatments brighten discolored teeth safely and effectively. Using advanced bleaching agents, we address stains from aging, diet, or lifestyle while minimizing sensitivity. Results last years with proper maintenance and avoidance of staining agents.
Emergency Care
Urgent dental injuries receive prompt attention, including chipped, moved, or knocked-out teeth. We prioritize same-day treatment for pain relief and structural repair, guiding patients through immediate care steps before their visit.
Gum Disease Therapy
Advanced gum disease treatment prevents tooth loss through scaling, root planing, and targeted therapies. Our hygienists educate patients on home care techniques while addressing bacterial infections to restore gum health and oral stability.
