TMJ Treatment
Our TMJ treatment addresses temporomandibular disorders through customized plans combining medication, splints, and injection therapies. We utilize advanced diagnostics to identify jaw joint issues causing pain, clicking, or limited movement. Patients benefit from our specialists' decades of experience in orofacial pain management, with treatment options ranging from conservative therapies to regenerative injections.
Invisalign
Invisalign treatment straightens teeth using custom-fit, nearly invisible aligners that patients can remove for eating and cleaning. Our iTero scanner creates precise 3D treatment plans showing gradual tooth movement over 12-18 months. This solution addresses crowding, gaps, and bite issues while maintaining professional appearance during treatment for adults and teens.
Teeth Whitening
We offer professional teeth whitening solutions including Opalescence Boost, take-home trays, and Zoom! in-office treatments. Our dentists customize whitening plans to address discoloration from age, diet, or lifestyle factors. Treatments safely enhance enamel appearance while minimizing sensitivity through advanced formulation technology for lasting, natural-looking results.
Emergency Dental Care
Our emergency dental services treat abscesses, cracked teeth, lost fillings, and oral trauma with same-day appointments. We provide immediate pain relief and stabilization for dental injuries while addressing underlying infections or structural damage. Patients receive clear aftercare instructions and follow-up treatment planning to restore oral health following emergencies.
Crowns
Custom dental crowns restore damaged teeth's strength, shape, and appearance using durable materials like porcelain or ceramic. We place crowns to protect weakened teeth, repair fractures, or complete implant and bridge procedures. Each crown receives precise color matching to ensure seamless integration with natural teeth for functional and aesthetic improvement.
