Services
Dental Cleaning
Our comprehensive dental cleanings remove plaque and calculus buildup to prevent periodontal disease. Using specialized instruments, we eliminate bacterial colonies that cause gum inflammation while polishing teeth to remove surface stains. The process includes oral cancer screenings and diagnostic X-rays to identify hidden issues, ensuring complete preventive care tailored to individual needs.
Teeth Whitening
We offer two professional at-home whitening systems: Philips Zoom NiteWhite with custom trays for 2-4 hour daily wear, and Opalescence Go's prefilled trays requiring 15-20 minutes daily. Both methods effectively remove stains from coffee, tea, and tobacco using dentist-formulated bleaching agents, with visible results in 1-2 weeks while maintaining tooth sensitivity control.
CEREC Crowns
CEREC technology enables us to create and place permanent ceramic crowns in a single 90-minute visit. Using digital impressions and precision milling, we produce durable, natural-looking restorations that match your tooth color without temporary crowns. This eliminates multiple appointments while maintaining structural integrity for damaged or decayed teeth.
Invisalign
Invisalign treatment straightens teeth using custom-made, removable plastic aligners that gradually reposition teeth over 6-18 months. The nearly invisible aligners allow normal eating and oral hygiene while correcting crowding and spacing issues. Our iTero scanner creates precise 3D treatment plans for optimal results with minimal disruption to daily life.
Periodontal Services
Our periodontal care includes both non-surgical scaling and root planing for early-stage disease, and surgical interventions for advanced cases. With an on-site periodontist, we address gum recession, bone loss, and infections using techniques like regenerative therapy and soft tissue grafts to restore oral health and prevent tooth loss.
