Laser Gum Treatment
Our LANAP-certified laser gum treatment uses the PerioLase MVP-7 to address periodontal disease with minimal discomfort. This FDA-approved procedure removes infected tissue while preserving healthy structures, promoting natural healing and reducing pocket depth. Ideal for patients seeking alternatives to traditional gum surgery, this technology helps preserve dental health and prevent systemic complications linked to gum disease.
Six Month Braces
The Powerprox Six Month Braces technique safely straightens teeth in 4-6 months using low-force mechanics. Clear brackets and tooth-colored wires provide discreet correction for crowded or spaced teeth, with treatment including post-brace polishing and custom retainers. This solution focuses on visible front teeth alignment rather than comprehensive bite adjustments.
TMJ Therapy
We address temporomandibular joint disorders through customized NTI appliances that reduce clenching-related pain. These FDA-approved devices alleviate headaches and jaw discomfort by modifying parafunctional habits during sleep, offering non-invasive relief for patients experiencing TMJ-related symptoms.
Invisalign
Invisalign treatment uses custom-molded, removable aligners to gradually reposition teeth without metal braces. Patients receive new aligners every two weeks, with progress monitored through regular checkups. This discreet option suits adults seeking cosmetic improvements while maintaining normal eating and oral hygiene routines.
Root Canal Treatment
Our root canal procedures preserve natural teeth by removing infected pulp tissue and sealing the tooth interior. Using modern techniques, we address dental trauma or deep decay while minimizing discomfort, often completing treatment in one or two visits to prevent extraction.
