Services
General Dentistry
Our general dentistry services include cleanings, digital X-rays, fillings, and periodontal maintenance to prevent and treat oral health issues. Using advanced technology like CEREC, we address cavities, gum disease, and tooth decay efficiently. Patients benefit from personalized preventive care plans tailored to their unique needs.
Six Month Smiles
Six Month Smiles straightens crooked or spaced teeth using clear braces in an average of six months. This treatment focuses on visible front teeth, offering a discreet and accelerated alternative to traditional orthodontics for adults seeking immediate aesthetic improvements without prolonged treatment.
Sleep Apnea Treatment
We provide custom oral appliances for obstructive sleep apnea, offering a comfortable alternative to CPAP machines. After a home sleep study, Dr. Pugh designs devices that reposition the jaw to maintain airway patency, improving sleep quality and reducing health risks associated with untreated apnea.
CEREC Restorations
CEREC technology enables us to create and place ceramic crowns, inlays, and veneers in a single appointment. This CAD/CAM system eliminates multiple visits, using digital scans to fabricate precise restorations that match natural tooth structure for durability and aesthetics.
Dental Hygiene
Regular hygiene appointments include professional cleanings, oral cancer screenings, and education on proper home care techniques. Our hygienists emphasize preventive strategies like flossing and sealants to maintain gum health and prevent decay, ensuring long-term oral wellness for patients of all ages.
