Cosmetic Dentistry
Our cosmetic dentistry services transform smiles through personalized treatment plans. We specialize in veneers, bonding, and smile makeovers using advanced techniques. Patients benefit from Dr. Foley's 15 years of post-doctoral training and membership in the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry. Our approach combines artistic skill with technical precision to create natural-looking results that enhance facial aesthetics and boost confidence.
Dental Emergencies
We provide urgent dental care for trauma, infections, and severe pain. Our emergency services include same-day appointments for critical cases. The team handles cracked teeth, abscesses, and dental injuries with immediate attention. Patients have access to a dedicated emergency line outside regular office hours, ensuring timely intervention for acute oral health issues.
Veneers
Custom porcelain veneers correct cosmetic imperfections while maintaining natural tooth function. Our technique preserves enamel structure for long-lasting results. We use master ceramists to create translucent, color-matched restorations. The process includes comprehensive bite analysis to ensure proper occlusion, combining aesthetic enhancement with functional dental health.
Cleanings & Exams
Professional dental cleanings and comprehensive exams form the foundation of oral health. Our hygienists perform thorough plaque removal and periodontal assessments. We utilize digital X-rays for early detection of hidden issues. The service includes oral cancer screenings and personalized home care recommendations, following ADA guidelines for bi-annual preventive maintenance.
Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening services deliver superior results compared to over-the-counter products. We offer customized take-home trays with professional-grade bleaching gel. The treatment addresses intrinsic and extrinsic stains while minimizing sensitivity. Patients receive detailed instructions for optimal results and maintenance, with follow-up support to ensure satisfaction with their enhanced smile.
