Services
CEREC Same-Day Crowns
CEREC same-day crowns use advanced CAD/CAM technology to design and mill porcelain restorations in one visit. This eliminates the need for temporary crowns and multiple appointments. Patients receive durable, natural-looking crowns in under two hours, with precise fit and aesthetics.
Dental Implants
Dental implants replace missing teeth with titanium posts that fuse to the jawbone, offering a permanent solution. We provide single-tooth implants and implant-supported dentures, restoring function and confidence. Our process includes personalized planning and long-term maintenance guidance.
General Dentistry
Our general dentistry services include exams, cleanings, digital X-rays, and oral cancer screenings. We focus on preventive care to maintain oral health, detect issues early, and educate patients on effective home care routines tailored to individual needs.
Tooth-Colored Fillings
Tooth-colored composite fillings repair decayed or damaged teeth with durable, aesthetic restorations. The material bonds to the tooth structure, preserving integrity while matching natural color. These mercury-free fillings are ideal for visible areas and immediate use after placement.
Oral Cancer Screening
Oral cancer screenings involve examining the mouth for abnormalities, ensuring early detection and treatment. We use visual and tactile assessments during routine exams, emphasizing prevention and patient education about risk factors and self-checks.

Questions
Does dental insurance cover two cleanings per year?
Most policies cover two cleanings annually, but specifics vary. Benefits are per person, not family, and may require six-month intervals. Check your policy details for coverage limits and frequencies.
Why should adults get fluoride treatments?
Fluoride strengthens enamel, prevents decay around fillings, and reduces sensitivity. It's beneficial for adults, especially those with well water or increased decay risk. Topical treatments provide long-term protection for oral health.
What is a bite splint used for?
A bite splint protects teeth from grinding/clenching damage. It acts as a cushion, preventing wear, jaw pain, and headaches. Custom-fitted splints ensure comfort and protect against long-term dental issues caused by bruxism.
How can I tell if I have gum disease?
Signs include red, swollen gums, bleeding, recession, loose teeth, or bad breath. Risk factors include poor hygiene, diabetes, and smoking. We diagnose and treat periodontitis with scaling, root planing, and personalized care plans.
