Services
Dental Implants
Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to replace missing tooth roots. They provide a stable foundation for artificial teeth, offering a durable solution that mimics natural tooth function and appearance. Our practice uses advanced imaging technology to ensure precise placement and long-term success.
TMJ Therapy
We offer specialized treatment for temporomandibular joint disorders using Botox injections and custom oral appliances. This approach alleviates chronic jaw pain, headaches, and migraines by addressing muscle tension and joint dysfunction. Dr. Whiteman's expertise in craniofacial pain management ensures personalized, non-invasive solutions.
Teeth Whitening
Professional whitening services remove deep stains caused by aging, diet, or lifestyle habits. Using hydrogen peroxide-based gels, we safely lighten teeth several shades while minimizing sensitivity. Custom take-home trays and in-office treatments provide flexible options for achieving a brighter, more confident smile.
Veneers
Porcelain veneers cover chipped, discolored, or misaligned teeth to create a uniform, natural-looking smile. Our thin, durable shells bond to tooth surfaces for immediate aesthetic improvement. This minimally invasive procedure requires only two visits and offers long-lasting results resistant to staining.
Root Canal Therapy
We perform root canal treatments to save infected or severely decayed teeth. Using modern techniques and anesthesia, we remove inflamed pulp tissue, clean root canals, and seal the tooth to prevent reinfection. This procedure relieves pain and preserves natural tooth structure, avoiding extraction.
