Services
Dental Implants
Dental implants provide permanent tooth replacement solutions that function like natural teeth. Our in-house implant placement utilizes titanium posts that fuse with jawbone tissue for lasting stability. Patients benefit from improved oral functionality, natural appearance, and long-term oral health advantages including jawbone preservation. The multi-stage process includes surgical placement, osseointegration, and custom restoration fabrication.
ClearCorrect Aligners
ClearCorrect aligners offer discreet orthodontic treatment for mild to moderate misalignment. Custom-made plastic trays apply controlled pressure to gradually straighten teeth over 12-18 months. Benefits include removability for eating and cleaning, improved aesthetics compared to metal braces, and treatment monitoring through regular progress checkups every 4-6 weeks.
Preventive Dentistry
Our preventive care program includes bi-annual exams, professional cleanings, and fluoride treatments. Regular maintenance helps detect early signs of decay or gum disease while professional cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup. This proactive approach prevents dental issues and maintains optimal oral health through comprehensive examinations and patient education.
Gum Disease Treatment
We provide scaling and root planing procedures combined with Arestin antibiotic therapy for treating gum disease. This deep cleaning process removes plaque and bacteria while smoothing root surfaces to promote gum reattachment. Early intervention prevents progression to advanced periodontitis and associated tooth loss risks through specialized periodontal therapy.
Dental Crowns
Custom dental crowns restore damaged or decayed teeth using durable ceramic materials. The restoration process involves tooth preparation, digital impressions, and same-day fabrication using CEREC technology. Crowns protect weakened teeth, restore functionality, and improve aesthetics while eliminating the need for temporary crowns during treatment.

What payment options are available?
We offer CareCredit financing, an in-house dental discount plan, and accept major credit cards. Our financial coordinator helps patients understand payment options and treatment costs.
Are dental implants worth the investment?
Dental implants offer long-term benefits including improved oral function, jawbone preservation, and natural appearance. With proper care, implants can last 30+ years, making them cost-effective compared to traditional tooth replacement options.
How does ClearCorrect compare to Invisalign?
ClearCorrect aligners use thinner, shape-retaining material and cover more gum area than Invisalign. Both systems effectively treat mild to moderate misalignment, with treatment duration depending on patient compliance and case complexity.
